Hi there everyone I have recently acquired 3 MR FFX sabers: 1 - Luke ep4 2- Yoda 3 - Vader ep4 The problem I have is with the Luke The blade doesnt feel very stabe, like its bending in the hilt and makes a creaking / bending / stressed plastic kinda sound when its swung even slowly and gently. I am worried that its going to get worse / damaged. My Yoda is solid, and the Vader is IMPRESSIVELY solid, and weighs about the same as 3 of the Lukes. I like the Luke hilt an awful lot, but its annoying me. Is there a screw I can tighten? I do not want to duel, and I like the on/off LED effects, so converting it isnt really for me right now. Below is hopefully a pic of my Luke and Yoda The vader just came in today, Ill take pics of it too. The Yoda came in last week, the Luke I got before Xmas  |

Many find that in most luke anh's there is the 'Creakyness' you have to be lucky to not get one that is creaky i was lucky enough to get one that was not creaky at all...

Just worried that its getting worse.
A shame, as the other ones dont do this.
Overall tho, they are all great. The luke only cost me £25 ($50) so thats ok. The others were £40 ($80)

My Luke ANH saber has the same problem. I would like to know how to fix it. I feel as if I take one swing, the blade's probably gonna fly off and hurt someone.
Can somebody help a fellow saber lover out? I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have a Luke ANH, and mine is pretty solid, i don't hear the creek at all and the blade doesn't wobble or anything. My best guess would be that the factory just didn't put the blade in tight enough, because i have a bit of a wobbly blade on my Obi-Wan. But it's probably just not put together tight enough or whatever, but it should be just fine. Keep in mind they mass produce these sabers.

!!!LOOK!!!
I know y u have this problem, i heard this some some1 else i think on the forums, the luke anh has like an angle at the emmiter right, and on the lower part of he angle theres a space in between is so u can see the shine of it, well every fx lightsaber they stuff this black stuff in between the blade and the hilt for it to be more stable, well the luke since it has the space in the hilt it doesnt have the black stuff to keep it more sturdy so its not a problem, its in every luke anh saber
