(I apologize if this question has been posted before, I'm obvioulsy a n00b  Hello! I'm trying to figure out what some differences between these two are. I'm not sure if it's just the name, or if there's actually differences between the technology, brightness, etc. I tried googling the subject and it brought me to this messageboard so I'm hoping I can get some help here.  So what are some comparisons? Pro's and Con's about each lightsaber. I heard the Anakin one is lighter, where Luke's is brighter. I'm a bit confused on which I should purchase. (By the way, please excuse any mistakes in my English, it's not my first language) >_< |

Hi welcome to the forum! 8 Ok first of all i'm going to be all nerdtastic and ask you which Luke or Anakin your talking about because each character did have different lightsabers, and different force-fx's for that mattter. Then i'm going to assume you’re talking about the luke ANH And the Anakin Rots, probably the most similar of all both characters. Pros: Luke ANH • Light weight compared to Anakin. • Brighter blade. • Chromed hilt(Finger prints will not show as easily) • Sensitive to movement. • Sounds very nice. • Is generally a better lightsaber..... Cons: Luke ANH • A less durable blade when compared to Anakin. Pros Anakin: • Durable when compared to luke. • Has a glossy finish. • Sound fx’s sound nice(but not as good as the luke). Cons Anakin: • Not as bright • Heavier hilt. • Feels a bit chunky. Mind you these pro’s and cons are purely my opinion. your entitled to pick the…..cough…crapper……lightsaber…….cough…Anakin…… if you wish. ;D ;D ;D Pics always help. Luke ANH 
 Anakin 
 Hope that Helped if only slightly  |

Just a small correction: The finish on the Luke ANH is brushed aluminum/steel, while on the Anakin it is chrome. So the Anakin has a very glossy, shiny finish, while the Luke appears to be more of a high-quality metal finish, which happens to show less fingerprints. I had the same question before I bought one, but I did some research and decided the Luke was better. It is also more accurately sized and detailed like the original Graflex camera flash Luke's saber was built from in the first movie. That combined with better sounds and brighter LEDs sold me on the Luke, even though I like the texture on the clamp and the chrome of the Anakin. Plus, Anakin annoys the hell out of me and I like Luke. One drawback of the Luke, there have been reports of the blade in the Master Replicas version creaking a little when you swing it. It's not known if the Hasbro version shares that small flaw, but my Hasbro Luke does not - it's nearly perfect in every way. The only way it could be better is if it were an UltraFX converted by Ultrasabers. |

Wow! Thanks you guys.  This definitely helped! For some reason, I had the impression that Anakin's was better, but now I'm convinced that Luke's is (And I'm glad it's better, since I like Luke a lot more than Anakin ) Again, thanks!! LULZWUT |

Anakin's was better than the fat old Luke Force FX saber from The Empire Strikes Back (ESB or TESB), brighter, better sounds, more accurately sized, etc, but then they made the Luke A New Hope (ANH) version, which is newer and more refined, so just make sure you get that one. Shouldn't be too hard because so far Hasbro's only released the ANH version of Luke's saber.

o. I thought the Luke was the one that was chromed. My bad. yeah and i forgot to mention the creaky hilt on the Luke it's kinda annoying but the sound goes away after a while.  |

No worries, just a simple mistake. I just wanted to make sure she's got the right information in case the finish is a big deciding factor. But you can tell the difference in pictures anyway.
As for the creaking, my Hasbro Luke ANH doesn't creak at all, so maybe they fixed the problem? I guess only some of the MRs did it so who knows, maybe I got a good one.
