If you’re the kind of Star Wars fan who still makes lightsaber noises under your breath when walking through automatic doors (no judgment), you might want to sit down for this. The Disney Store has unleashed not one, but two ridiculously cool limited-edition lightsaber hilts just in time for this year’s May the 4th celebration.
Whether you’re channeling Kylo Ren’s brooding intensity or reliving the epic Clone Wars saga, these collectibles are the perfect way to honor the Force.
The Ren Legacy Lightsaber Hilt
This piece isn’t just a replica: the Ren Legacy Lightsaber Hilt is a tribute to Kylo Ren’s chaotic, cracked-red-blade aesthetic, minus the uncontrollable rage. Limited to just 5,000 units, it’s one of those pieces that says, “Yes, I collect Star Wars memorabilia – and no, I will not let you touch it.”

It’s got that distinctive crossguard design, finished in sleek matte black with weathered metallic accents. Pop in a compatible blade (sold separately), and yes – it lights up and makes the right terrifying sounds. The hilt is tucked into a slick, foam-lined box with sliding doors and double latches that basically scream “open this dramatically.”
Oh, and just because Disney knows how to push collectors over the edge, it also comes with a variant-cover copy of Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #1. You know, for reading… or keeping sealed in pristine condition forever. Your call.
The Clone Wars Lightsaber Hilt Set
And then there’s the big one – the Clone Wars Lightsaber Hilt Set, which casually includes not one, not two, but three legendary hilts. Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano all get their turn in the spotlight here. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you were sitting in the Jedi Temple listening to Yoda’s advice, this might be the next best thing.

Each hilt is meticulously modeled after its screen counterpart, and they’re packaged in a display case that looks like it belongs in a museum on Coruscant. There’s also a certificate of authenticity tucked inside, just to remind you that yes, you own something truly rare and wonderful, and no, your friends cannot borrow it for their cosplay shoot.
In a galaxy not-so-far away (your local Disney Store or website), these two releases have landed just in time for May the 4th (the holiest of unofficial nerd holidays). Are they pricey? A bit. But they are definitely worth it, especially of you’ve ever waved a broomstick like a lightsaber and shouted, “You underestimate my power!” in your living room.
The Force may not be strong in all of us, but our love of stunning Star Wars collectibles? Unquestionable.
Now if you’ll excuse us, we have a Ren hilt to not-so-subtly display on our bookshelves.
