A pair years in the making.
The High Republic Starkiller and now the High Republic Sith Killer, both from , were created with the same vision: weapons once tied to darkness, reclaimed through the Force and reforged into symbols of light.
The Sith Killer is the newest chapter, a High Republic-inspired take on a Jedi Killer style hilt, reimagined as a weapon made to stand against the Sith.
What makes this one even more special is how it came into my hands. On May 4th, while celebrating Star Wars Day at Disneyland, I got to spend the day with Nick C of and receive the hilt from him in person.
Nick is truly one of the elite sabersmiths in the custom hobby, and I’m grateful to call him a close friend. He even surprised me with a rare custom Starfall Sabers shirt, one of only two made.
Both hilts were installed by Chris Skinner of .designs.llc, with matching High Republic-themed chassis work, crystal chambers, elite programming, and custom acid etching.
Specs across both builds: Proffieboard 3.9, removable 18650 battery, K-Switch, 28mm bass speaker, resin greeblie chassis, and crystal chamber.
Sith Killer: Shtok Pixel Matrix and Goth G-Pix sub-bladed emitter PCB.
Starkiller: Shadowfoil Props Matrix Array.
Huge thanks to and .designs.llc for bringing these legends to life.
Some sabers are collectibles.
These two are legends.
