While actual Star Wars news was mostly non-existent at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, the showfloor had a ton of great merch, cosplay, and more from that galaxy far, far away, including a high-end and customizable Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber.
The Star Wars: The Black Series – Obi-Wan Kenobi Force FX Elite Lightsaber is based on the one Ewan McGregor uses in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ and it features a ton of great features that will make this a great addition to the collection of any cosplayer or Jedi.
The lightsaber itself features a progressive ignition blade and has certain effects you can activate to simulate how the light of the lightsaber would change if it were clashing against another, deflecting blaster fire, or attempting to cut through a door. It also features another cap that can be put on when the blade is removed to make it great for a display or for hanging from one's belt.
The Star Wars: The Black Series – Obi-Wan Kenobi Force FX Elite Lightsaber can be pre-ordered now from Hasbro Pulse for $278.99 and it will become available on January 1, 2023.
Alongside the latest iteration of Obi-Wan's lightsaber, San Diego Comic-Con also gave us a look at costumes from the upcoming Andor series, a wide range of Star Wars cosplay that looks like it'd fit right into the films and TV, and some incredible collectibles like a stunning Star Wars Mythos: Darth Vader statue that depicts the battle-ravaged Dark Lord of the Sith atop an X-Wing that comes complete with a flaming lightsaber.
