THE EMPRESS - Can be purhcased as empty hilt or installed with 2 blades included.
Behold the conceptual Dark Rey lightsaber—a creation born from the imagination of the Star Wars film artists who shaped the sequel trilogy (2015-2019). This is the weapon that could have been, designed as Rey's true destiny blade.
Originally envisioned as Rey's evolution from her Jakku staff, THE EMPRESS was meant to debut in the final film as either her heroic lightsaber or the manifestation of her dark side transformation. While the studio ultimately chose the reforged Graflex and folding saber designs, this official unused concept has found new life exclusively through Korbanth Sabers.
Ultra-Limited Production: Only 20 units will ever be manufactured—10 empty hilts and 10 fully installed versions. Once this exclusive run sells out, THE EMPRESS will vanish into legend.
Your Choice of Configuration:
- Empty hilt or complete installation with dual blades
- Dual crystal reveal chassis systems
- Clean finish or weathered with authentic tattered cloth wrap
Authentic Operation: Each side activates independently via twist on/off switches, and the hilt separates to reveal the mesmerizing glowing crystal chamber within—part staff heritage, pure dark side energy.
Many fans believe THE EMPRESS surpasses the folding saber we received, embodying what Rey truly would have crafted after the Graflex's destruction in Episode VIII—a perfect fusion of her staff origins and embraced darkness.
Exclusive Release: Now available as of October 3rd, 2025, only at www.korbanth.com. This unique lightsaber exists nowhere else in the galaxy.
