You can also change the blade colors from purple to red and back again.

The set also comes with a stand and removable Kyber Crytal so you can use or display it however you want.

In talking about the lightsaber, StarWars.com notes that the blaster-deflect effect will actually cause random parts of the blade to flash, and the blade will even turn into a rainbow color for some wall-cutting effects.

StarWars.com also spoke with Patrick Schneider from Hasbro (the company that made this lightsaber) and Chris Reiff, a product designer, about the process and materials. They discussed how Darth Revan means a lot to hardcore fans, but is also a character that bridges a lot of different media, despite not being in the movies. They also said that getting this blade does feel like you’re getting two lightsabers in one — which fans have really enjoyed. You can read the full interview on StarWars.com.
