Overhead studio shot: aluminium hilt lifted from foam cradle, single warm key light from upper-right raking across machined grip. Dark hull-panel backdrop, subtle ember rim.

The Hilt

Machined aluminium body, Xenopixel V3 core installed, activation switch and USB-C port pre-fitted.

Blade laid flat at 45°, catching a hot rim of orange light along one edge, deep shadow along the other. Reads as a specimen strip against carbon backdrop.

Blade — 36" Duelling

Length chosen at checkout. Reinforced polycarbonate, tempered for heavy-contact duelling.

Angled hero shot of the display stand, matte black with brushed metal cradle. Single spotlight from above right, deep shadow beneath.

Display Stand

Weighted matte-black base, chrome-arm cradle. Holds the hilt at 22° presentation angle.

Documentation card and hex tool laid at 45° on a hull-panel surface, warm side-light picking up the printed spec sheet.

Documentation & Tools

Dossier card with your Saber Core serial, hex key for pommel/emitter service, XenoConfigurator quick-start.

Cinematic full-length composition: the Anakin EP3 hilt held vertically in the frame, ceremonial pose against a deep-space void backdrop. Single warm key light from camera-left rakes across the machined grip; a cool blue rim isolates the silhouette. The emitter catches an ember spark of light — the specimen at rest.

The Story

Prequel-era brute. Duelling grade throughout.

The EP3 hilt is a fan-favourite for a reason — heavy, ceremonial, and unmistakably prequel-trilogy in silhouette. Our Duelling Grade build takes the reference profile and treats every part of it as a specimen in your collection. Machined aluminium body. Brushed grip section. Emitter and pommel finished to catch the light where a fan would expect it to fall.

Inside, the Xenopixel V3 Saber Core runs an infinite blade-colour palette, thirty-four soundfont banks and full Bluetooth configuration through the XenoConfigurator app. Batteries drop in through the pommel; the whole hilt disassembles for service with the hex key in the box. Built to be hit, tuned to sound right when it is.

This is our Duelling Grade specification of a character-inspired hilt. We are not affiliated with Lucasfilm; the reference is fan-tribute only, and the design decisions are ours.

Why Xenopixel V3 for EP3

Prequel-era hilts read best with a pixel-per-inch blade — the ignition sweep and blade-lock effects sit inside the ceremonial silhouette without over-flashing it. Xenopixel V3 gives you the full effect ladder at the list-price tier, with Bluetooth configuration through XenoConfigurator so you're not committing to a soundfont at checkout.

16:9 embedded demo. Cold open on the EP3 hilt lying on a hull-panel surface. Camera pushes in as the ignition sweep runs — orange blade extends against deep-space void, a soundfont sample plays across ignition-idle-clash-lock. Cut to a slow overhead orbit; blade fills the frame in ember rim-light. Duration 0:38.

Specimen Q & A

Frequently Asked

11 / 15 · Product Specific

Q.01

Is this really built to duel with?

−

Yes — Duelling Grade is our reinforced hilt build, tempered polycarbonate blade, and a Saber Core with hardened contact tolerance. It'll take heavy sparring contact. If you're planning full-contact competition duelling, pair it with the Proffie Duelling Pro core for the extra chassis reinforcement.

Q.02

Can I change the blade colour?

Any colour, any time. The Xenopixel V3 core gives you an infinite palette through the XenoConfigurator app — pick a colour, save it to one of the soundfont banks, cycle to it on the hilt.

Q.03

What sound fonts are pre-loaded?

34 factory-tuned soundfont banks ship on every Xenopixel V3 build — ceremonial, unstable, whisper-quiet, competition, and character-inspired banks are all in the default pack. You can add or replace fonts through the app.

Q.04

How long does the battery last?

Around five and a half hours of continuous ignition on a full charge, longer on idle. Battery drops in through the pommel; USB-C charge port sits under the pommel cap for direct-charge without removing the cell.

Q.05

Can I upgrade the electronics later?

Yes — the chassis accepts every Saber Core tier we sell. Swap parts are stocked; we'll walk you through installation, or you can send the hilt in for a workshop swap. Named single point of contact handles the whole exchange.

Q.06

Does it come with a stand?

Every Duelling Grade build ships with the matte-black display stand — weighted base, chrome cradle, 22° presentation angle. If you want the twin-hilt or triple-hilt display, add it from Complete the Set below.

Q.07

What's the return process?

30-day money-back guarantee. Message your named single point of contact, we send a prepaid label, refund lands within 5 working days of receipt. No re-stocking fee. From factory floor to your door — and back again if it isn't right.

Q.08

Do you ship outside the US?

Yes — US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand direct. UK and EU orders route through our sister brand Saber 66; we'll flag it at checkout and hand you off cleanly.

Built to take a beating.

Ran two full sparring nights back-to-back on 36". Blade holds up to heavy contact, no rattle in the chassis, ignition sound is still spot-on. Xenopixel handled every clash effect I threw at it.

Silhouette is exact. Weight is right.

I've owned three EP3 tributes over the years — this is the closest silhouette I've handled, and by some distance the best-balanced. Sits on the stand like a prop shelf display. Support rep followed up unprompted after delivery to check the ignition sequence.

Verified · Cosplayer

Ceremonial hero for costume work.

Weight is on the heavier side — noted, not a complaint. On stage the ember-yellow ignition palette reads perfectly against dark backdrops. Named contact for post-order was a genuine surprise; will buy again.
