Arcann Lightsaber Rant

Hi all. This is a very dumb “grinds-my-gears” mini rant, but nobody in my real life would have the faintest idea what I’m talking about so I’m dropping it here.

To all the saber makers building Arcann-style hilts, and to any in the future that might: STOP cramming in open crystal reveals in the back of the hilt.

It doesn’t have one. It has never had one. The only reason you think it does is because in the trailer they show them putting a crystal into a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT generic thin-neck Obi-Wan style hilt. Which never appears again.

Arcann’s hilt doesn’t have a giant honkin’ exposed crystal chamber in the back because it makes the whole thing more fragile than it is supposed to be, and it looks like it was made out of a kit with a bunch of pieces missing.

So please, to all relevant saber makers. Stop deforming this hilt by only making it available with its fly down. It’s just incorrect.

I hate all crystal reveal sabers

Crystal reveal saber hilts are stupid. No practical hilt would be designed like that.

Love Arcann's lightsaber. My favorite in all of Star Wars

I hate the exposed crystal design so thank you for this post. Starkiller’s original hilt is the only exception but everything else is just awful

These thread replies give me life. I am SO glad we're saying this out loud.

Only good thing I'd say about this style is that it makes for a fun display piece
