Description
The weathered ANH hilt with a visible crystal chamber — Obi-Wan’s final lightsaber before Vader struck him down. The EP4 design is fundamentally different from his Clone Wars EP3 saber: heavier, built from real-world found parts, with a distinctive slender neck and a Graflex logo on the clamp. The exposed kyber crystal chamber makes this the most visually striking Obi-Wan replica in the TXQ catalog. Two main tiers: SNV4 Pro with Bluetooth and Proffie V2.2 for full control.
- Visible crystal chamber — the kyber crystal is exposed through the hilt, not hidden inside
- Weathered stainless steel & brass construction — 3× heavier than aluminum builds, screen-accurate heft
- Thin-neck emitter design — iconic ANH silhouette; display and cosplay focused, not for heavy dueling

Important: The EP4’s thin-neck emitter is screen-accurate but fragile. This is a display and cosplay saber first, a dueling saber second. Heavy contact can damage the neck joint. If you plan to duel regularly, consider an EP3 Obi-Wan or a baselit saber instead.
Which Version Should You Get?
SNV4 Pro ($527-$683) — The recommended pick. Neopixel scrolling ignition, Bluetooth app, 27 fonts, 11 ignition effects. The blue blade ignites with the crystal chamber glowing behind it. For display, cosplay, and careful light sparring.
Proffie V2.2 ($633-$743) — Full customization. Program the crystal chamber glow patterns. Design custom blue blade effects. No Bluetooth — USB and SD card config. For the collector who wants complete creative control of the display piece.
No S-RGB option — the crystal chamber and thin-neck design make this a display-focused hilt. Heavy dueling isn’t what this saber is built for.
EP4 vs EP3: Different Weapons
Obi-Wan carried three lightsabers across his life. The EP1 (Qui-Gon’s design influence), the EP3 (Clone Wars workhorse), and the EP4 (his final weapon). The EP4 is fundamentally different: 3× heavier than the EP3, built from real-world found parts including a Graflex clamp with actual patent inscriptions, and featuring the iconic thin-neck emitter. It’s the saber Obi-Wan carried for 19 years on Tatooine, watching over Luke. When Vader struck him down on the Death Star, this was the weapon on his belt.
Who Is This For?
Get the Obi EP4 if:
- You want the most visually distinctive Obi-Wan hilt. The exposed crystal chamber and weathered steel/brass finish make this a display piece that draws attention. It looks old, used, and authentic — exactly like the screen prop.
- You’re a collector, not a duelist. The thin neck and crystal chamber prioritize aesthetics over combat durability. This is the saber you put on a stand or wear on your belt at conventions.
- You want Obi-Wan’s final saber. Not the Clone Wars general. Not the Padawan learner. The old Jedi Master in exile — the one who sacrificed himself so Luke could escape.
Skip this saber if:
- You plan to duel. The thin-neck emitter can crack under heavy impact. Get an EP3 Obi-Wan or a baselit saber for sparring.
- You want a lighter hilt for spinning or flow arts. At 3× the weight of aluminum builds, the stainless steel construction is substantial. Lighter hilts handle spins better.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I duel with the EP4 lightsaber?
A: Light sparring only. The thin-neck emitter is the weak point — it can crack under heavy impact. This is primarily a display and cosplay saber. If you plan to duel regularly, get an Obi-Wan EP3 or a baselit saber with a standard emitter.
Q2: What makes the EP4 different from Obi-Wan’s EP3 lightsaber?
A: Heavier (3×), different emitter, exposed crystal chamber. The EP4 uses stainless steel and brass with a thin-neck emitter. It has a Graflex logo and real-world found-part inscriptions (“LONDON STOKES’ PATENT”) that the EP3 lacks. The EP3 was built for fight choreography. The EP4 was built for authenticity.
Q3: Does the crystal chamber actually glow?
A: Yes. The exposed kyber crystal is visible through the hilt. On SNV4 Pro and Proffie versions, it pulses and glows with the blade effects. The Proffie version lets you program custom crystal glow patterns.
Q4: Which version should I get?
A: SNV4 Pro for most — Neopixel, Bluetooth, crystal chamber glow, 27 fonts. Proffie V2.2 for full customization of blade effects and crystal patterns.
Q5: Why is the EP4 so heavy?
A: The screen-used prop was built from real-world found parts — a Graflex clamp, a grenade section, a balance pipe, a Browning machine gun booster. The replica uses stainless steel and brass to match that authentic heft. It weighs roughly the same as the original prop.
