kyber crystal The crossguard blades allow Ren's saber to operate safely – his weapon is constructed around a dangerously flawed kyber crystal, which would be overloaded if not for the lateral plasma vents that create the quillons.

Ultimately, however, Ren's crossguard lightsaber reflected his raw and untamed power in the Force, yet also symbolized his inner doubt and struggle to suppress the light side of the Force that remained within him.

The lightsaber is made of high-quality plastic. It is durable, safe for children, easy to use and nontoxic. Suitable for children over 3 years old. Bright LED lights and sound effects: These toy lightsabers have bright LED lights that can shine in the dark and illuminate the scene.

Kylo Ren's lightsaber form was something of a hybrid, which blended three styles together: Djem So, Juyo, and Niman. Djem So used an irregular reverse grip and was meant for practitioners who loved fighting with a more...

I. Remember when the comics first introduced Arth Vader bleeding his lightsaber crystal fans immediately guessed that Ben solo must have gone through the same process.

The fact Kylo Ren sometimes uses his lightsaber with reverse grip and how he was obsessed by Vader's legacy could be a foreshadowing that his combat style was inspired by canonized Vader's secret apprentice who fought that way in EU (Or he met Ahsoka when he was a kid)

Kylo Ren's "unstable" lightsaber was designed to kill. Knowing Makashi, he would become a much more dangerous foe as he could disarm and eliminate his opponents far quicker without the need to endure a long, intense fight. Sadly, he didn't learn Form II as there was no one around to teach him during his younger days.

He used the Force to delve into the minds of others for knowledge and memories. Being the grandson of Darth Vader and nephew of Luke Skywalker, who we know to be powerful Force users, likely gave him a boost since the Force is strong in their family. Good or bad, Ren has received training Rey hasn't.

1978 In 1978, Kenner execs knew Padawans would go ga-ga over a toy version of the Star Wars lightsaber. As one of the first Star Wars toys on the market, it lit up toy aisles, literally. Designers basically took a flashlight and connected it to an inflatable yellow vinyl blade.

Maul. So keep the back of your hand pressed up against your back slide it across and around your body like that. So you're going from here to there that's the interrupt that's the motion.

However, Kylo Ren's lightsaber does have a characteristic that could be called unique. Powered by an unstable kyber crystal, the saber emits an oddly “ragged” blade.

For the original Star Wars film, the film prop hilts were constructed by John Stears from old Graflex press camera flash battery packs and other pieces of hardware. The full-sized sword props were designed to appear ignited onscreen, by later creating an "in-camera" glowing effect in post-production.

The original lightsaber hilts were cobbled together from literal spare parts, with antique cameras providing most of the raw material. Obi-Wan Kenobi's, Darth Vader's, and Luke's (well, Anakin's) sabers were all made from flash handles - Luke's and Obi-Wan's from an antique Graflex, and Vader's from an MPP Microflash.

Meanwhile, Kylo Ren is far from weak in his capacity to wield the Force himself. The Last Jedi showed that Kylo was truly lethal with the Force with his killing of Snoke (Andy Serkis) by using a Lightsaber from a significant distance.

He used the Force to delve into the minds of others for knowledge and memories. Being the grandson of Darth Vader and nephew of Luke Skywalker, who we know to be powerful Force users, likely gave him a boost since the Force is strong in their family.

Kylo Ren was a dark side pretender for much of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but a secret detail demonstrates he was even crueler than Darth Vader.
