This saber is being revealed for the first time. Back in 1981 when episode VI was in production, the DV sabers from Episode V were missing. That’s why the episode V vs ep VI sabers look different. An entirely new one was constructed using the original Graflex Roger created. It was a last minute effort to put something together, as Roger explains in the unboxing video.
Roger Christian who designed and created that first Graflex saber for George Lucas in 1976, and used the MPP for DV’s, was directing 2nd unit on Episode VI. He says that if he was the Set Decorator on VI as he was for IV, the opportunity to use an original design more compatible with the iconic villain was sadly missed, just as Luke’s was changed from V to VI, so would The Father’s in Roger’s design you see here today all these years later.
With the help of Theory Sabers and TXQ, THIS is the design that could have happened back then, a piece of history that comes from an old time.
Added bonus - of those 500 Limited Edition signed plaques by Roger, 5 are signed in red ink. This will get you a call with Roger himself OR a signed copy of his new book, with an endorsement forward by George Lucas.
Designed meticulously by Roger Christian and inspired by Ralph McQuarrie, The FATHER is presented to you today by Theory Sabers and Roger Christian.
Be one of only 500 to ever have this in the world.

Customer Reviews
Full disclosure this is my first "Non Toy" lightsaber since i was a kid(adult now), which i had a Darth Vader lightsaber Hasbro black series back then.
I have really enjoyed and been impressed by "The Father" lightsaber. The sounds, the lightsaber blade features are freaking amazing, I am surprised lightsaber technology is this advance with the light feature. The other accessories it came with are cool, may favorite is the Crystal necklace. SW Theory is really someone who shows he cares for his passion, been a fan since 2016.
Amazing work and my favorite saber I own.
The saber hilt is pretty awesome. I like the weight and detail. I was worried my grip might damage the grip with the windowed slits. The hilt glow and font set work pretty well with the blade. The blade that came with the order rattles really bad and it causes a delay in impact effects. For a saber so expensive and exclusive, its really disappointing to get a blade this rattly. My other one from you guys is tight, sharp, and responsive.
What can I say? The craftsmanship of this saber is truly a work of art. Truly impressive. I've only started collecting sabers since August 2025. I now own five, and this is by far my favorite and most treasured piece. I received it after nearly two weeks. It's number 365/500 as of March 2026. This is my very first saber from Theory Sabers, and I couldn't be more pleased. My only gripe is that there's no covertec clip or belt hanger to attach it to my belt. I would love to wear this at a comic con. But don't let that sway you—it was well worth the money spent. One more thing: The micro SD card could not be read by the Proffie board inside the hilt. Luckily, I had a spare. I transferred the fonts over, and it fired right up. Again, I love this saber.
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for your support, we truly appreciate it. We're honored to hear that this saber has become such a treasured part of your collection.
One of our agents will be reaching out to help assist with any questions or concerns. We look forward to helping you.

I recently received The Father lightsaber (mine is #348/500), and overall I absolutely love it. The design is beautiful, the detailing is incredible, and the signed plaque from Roger Christian makes it feel like a truly special collector’s piece.
I did notice one issue, though. When the volume is turned all the way up, I hear a noticeable static or crackling sound when I swing the saber. It only seems to happen at maximum volume. When I lower the volume slightly, the static disappears and the sound is clear again.
I’m not sure if this is normal at higher volume levels or if it’s something specific to my unit, but I wanted to mention it. I prefer having the volume turned up for the full experience, so the static at max volume is a bit disappointing.
Aside from that, the saber looks fantastic and feels premium. I’m very happy with it overall — just hoping this audio issue can be clarified or improved. I’ve attached a video demonstrating the issue so it can be clearly heard.
Thank you for your detailed feedback and for sharing your experience with your Father saber congratulations on #348/500. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the design and collector elements, it truly is a special piece.
Regarding the audio concern, this is not a normal performance characteristic. In most cases, sound distortion at maximum volume is related to the battery not being fully charged or the saber not being charged correctly before use.
Please reach out directly to our customer support team at support@theorysabers.com
so one of our tech agents can assist you. They’ll walk you through a few quick troubleshooting steps to ensure the saber is properly charged and functioning as intended. We’re confident this can be resolved quickly.
We look forward to getting this sorted for you.

It is an awesome possibility that never was turned to the ultimate must have collection masterpiece i am glad I am one of the few to display this piece of art
The father truly has remarkable design with so much detail it would definitely suit any Sith Lord. As well every time I look at it has a presence of wisdom and strength.
I bought the limited "The Father" saber Theory and Rodger Christian collaborated on. I have an extensive Star Wars collection including many items from EFX, Hot Toys, Master Replicas and more. Im very proud to have been able to add one of these to my collection. Like Theory, Star Wars means the world to me and has changed my approach to and love of life. I look forward to the next unique and limited Theory sabers in the future. Ive been a subscriber to the channel since 2016/2017. Basically since the beginning. I have greatly enjoyed all the Star Wars content, discussions, watch parties etc. I do not have anyone in my life who is a passionate Star Wars fan like myself. Theory and his channel give me a home. Thank you Theory, you rock bro.
Unreal! Smooth, detailed and crafted by none other than the man himself Roger Christian? Couldn’t be happier! Hilt is superb in looks and sound. Very pleased and got the great pre-order price too. Thank You Theory Sabers for another great colab in this saber - The Father.
This is my first saber from Theory. All the features are top-notch. The unique sounfont effects set it apart from every other saber I've bought or tried. Even the packaging brings a welcome touch of added quality and uniqueness.
I feel privileged to own a genuine piece of Star Wars movie history. Many thanks to Theory, TXQ and Roger Christian for bringing Roger's design to life as he originally envisioned it.
