Lightsaber Parts: Understanding the Basics
The lightsaber is an essential piece of equipment from the first view. Where your hand goes, there is a handle. The protrusion resembling a blade used to attack your opponent has a handle at one end. New fans often find out that lightsabers are more complex than they initially thought, leading to common mistakes.
Usually, lightsabers include many parts and accessories whose use is not immediately apparent from their name. In any case, what does an "emitter" really emit? Furthermore, shouldn't an Olympic gymnast be dancing on a "pommel"? Here's a quick overview of the various lightsaber parts and how they work for beginners.
Hilt – The lightsaber's handle is called the hilt, or body. It's the portion that you hold in your hand as you swing the lightsaber.
Lightsaber hilts have many different styles. Common features include a switch to turn on the blade and a choke point. The choke point is the narrowest part of the hilt.
Aside from a few valuable factors like the user's hand size, choosing the ideal hilt is mostly a matter of taste. The soundboard and additional electronic parts are likewise housed in LaserPointerWorld hilts.
Blade is a slender, light-colored cylinder that strikes targets or adversaries. To enhance illumination, the multi-length LaserPointerWorld blades are constructed from durable polycarbonate tubes with film inside. There are two types of blades: Midgrade, which is excellent for showcasing vibrant colors, and Heavy Grade, which is best for dueling.
Lightsaber Emitter – The emitter, attached to the hilt's end, grips the blade firmly where it connects to the body, aiding in stabilization. Specific lightsaber emitters feature windows—precisely crafted openings that let the blade's light pass through.
Other add-on emitter characteristics that are available are blades and claws. These emitter choices are more aesthetically pleasing than functional. Therefore, they might not be appropriate for people who enjoy lightsaber combat, particularly competitive ones.
Pommel – This is the "cap" that resembles a knob at the bottom of the hilt or the end that isn't connected to the emitter. The lightsaber hilt helps balance the weight and prevent slipping during combat. Its main purpose, however, is for aesthetics. Vents are a standard feature on lightsaber pommels, allowing the soundboard's effects to be heard more clearly.
Coupler – This little cylindrical component can connect two lightsaber hilts thanks to openings on either end. When you join the hilts in this way, you create what is known as a double-bladed lightsaber, also called a staff in the Star Wars world. Darth Maul and a few other noteworthy figures favor this weapon.
A unique version, the "quick-release" coupler, was designed to allow the user to connect or disengage the linked lightsabers quickly. The coupler is exclusively required for lightsabers with two blades.
To ensure that customers get the most out of their purchase, LaserPointerWorld also offers a variety of light-saber accessories, such as Covertec wheels, USB cords, color discs, and more.
