864. Ray Park "Darth Maul" fighting lightsaber from Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace. (TCF, 1999) This is one of four hero Darth Maul light sabers created for use in The Phantom Menace. As the hero version of the light saber, it is the rendition that is the most detailed to look and feel as a "real" light saber would, with great attention to detail for use in the exciting duels. Each end of the saber retains the 6 in. screw bolt which allowed the 38 in. long painted aluminum rods to be attached, as configured for the filming of the fight sequences (saber "illumination" added post-production).

The prototype version of this saber was made of metal, but was ultimately too short in length for Ray Park to use for the stunning action sequences of the film, and was abandoned. This final hero version was made by re-casting the shorter prototype metal version in resin over a 3/8 in. diameter steel rod, and given additional length by duplicating the middle sections. Large rubber o-rings (now showing some age) are placed over each section break for ornamentation and to hide the seams. The end caps are made of custom machined aluminum, while varying sizes of chrome metal plates are used to construct the ends of the emitters. All of these aluminum and chrome pieces are also mounted over the interior steel rod running through the center of the entire piece. The light saber is adorned with red and silver knurled knobs, painted cast LEDs, and silver plastic buttons with ridged sides and metallic details.

A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exciting prop weapons from the entire Star Wars saga. Includes a LOA from Ray Park. $40,000 - $60,000
