No matter what your opinion on the sequel trilogy, it did give us brief glimpses into parts of Star Wars lore we previously only imagined, such as Leia's time as a Jedi. OK, it was only mentioned briefly in Rise of the Skywalker, but as far as Star Wars collectibles go, there have been far more obscure references turned into tangible, real-world items.
At Hasbro's PulseCon 2021, Hasbro announced it was bringing Leia's blue lightsaber to its incredible Black Series FX line. The blade is removable, so you can just clip it to your belt (as was the style at the time), or you can attach it to the hilt and it lights up and features authentic light saber sounds.
You can preorder this lightsaber now and count down the days until its October 1, 2022 release. That's a long time from now, but it also gives you plenty of time to squirrel away the money to make sure your account covers it once it does release.
And as always, if the price drops at Amazon any time between release and when you ordered, you get it for the reduced price. Given the fact Entertainment Earth has it for $249.99, I expect Amazon will drop the price to $249.95 any moment now.
