Searching for Star Wars Xmas Gifts?

Howdy folks,

Just a really quick update here on the whole trying to find gifts for a Star Wars fan during Christmas.

I just found this list of Star Wars gifts for 2012 (and beyond) and there's some pretty cool stuff in here outside of the usual Lego and Force FX gift ideas.

There's a few in here that I've never even seen before so there was plenty of research done.

Anyways you can check it out there.

Kit Fisto Lightsaber Released

Not every Star Wars fan will rememeber the Jedi Master Kit Fisto from the new (well the old really) Star Wars movies but his reknown as a Jedi warrior has made it possible for him to have his very own Force FX lightsaber know.

If you don't know a lot about this nautolan Jedi Master then you can read more about Kit Fisto here.

Master Yodas Unique Lightsaber

It is generally accepted that Yoda was the most powerful and respected of all the Jedi Masters. He was aligned with the Force and became a skilled warrior, leader and teacher. Yoda was the Grand Master of the Jedi Order until the Republic was overthrown, resulting in his exile to the swamp world of Dagobah
The Yoda Force FX lightsaber is a faithful reproduction of the model used by the Master in the Star Wars movies. While it has a smaller profile than the full sized weapons, the Yoda lightsaber has a chrome hilt with the familiar glowing green blade. The hum of the weapon changes in pitch as it moves, and the clash sound signals a battle has begun.

Anakin Skywalker Force FX Lightsaber

Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi knight and also the apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Skywalker showed a remarkable ability to channel the Force at a young age and was believed to be the “chosen one” who would bring peace to the empire and destroy the Sith. Skywalker came under the influence of Darth Sidious and turned to the dark side as Darth Vader.

The Anakin Skywalker Force FX lightsaber is fashioned to the exact detail of the weapon used in the early Star Wars chapters. This includes the distinctive glowing blue blade and the heavy die cast metal hilt. The lightsaber's low hum changes in pitch as it is maneuvered in battle and the clash sound signals contact with a Sith.

Lightsaber Combat Forms

When most people see lightsaber battles they're just in awe of the skill of the people wielding those lightsabers. What most of you don't realize is that there are seven distinct combat forms for anyone fighting with a lightsaber. These forms are very similar to martial arts kata in that a series of movements have to be learned and then built on for use later in combat - although the lightsaber arts take this to a whole new level.

Usually a Jedi will favor one form over another when it comes to combat but some Jedi will take parts of different combat forms and combine them into something more unique. The most advanced form is the 7th one and is so powerful that many Jedi refuse to train in it because it involves so much emotion that it gets too close to the Dark side.

Darth Maul represents the pure evil in the dark side of the force. Recruited at an early age by Darth Sidious, Maul was trained in the ways of the dark side through cruelty and indoctrination. Although he was merciless, Maul respected credible opponents and honored them with quick deaths.

The Darth Maul Force FX lightsaber is the most unique in the Force FX collection. The weapon can be used with a single blade or a second blade can be added to extend the lightsaber to a full six feet. The hilt is made from die cast metal and has the same weight and feel as the original. Every Sith warrior will appreciate the glow of the dual blades and realistic sound effects. On top of that this lightsaber features battle damage from Darth Mauls countless duels with Jedi.

Force FX Lightsabers

Force FX lightsabers take the Jedi experience to new heights of excitement and realism. Every lightsaber is carefully fashioned to replicate the different weapons as they appeared in the Star Wars movie chapters.

Each Force FX lightsaber includes a sturdy aluminum hilt with the distinctive markings and designs inspired by each Star Wars character. The durable polycarbonate blade ignites in a distinctive color which identifies the warrior as Jedi or Sith. The hum of the lightsaber is faithfully reproduced including changes in pitch when it is swung. Engaging in combat produces the familiar realistic clash sound.

When the conflict is over and the enemy vanquished, a handsome stand is included to proudly display the lightsaber until the next battle.
