Star Wars Black Series Force FX Elite Darth Revan Lightsaber

Bad ass shots!

These shots are fantastic! Love the facemask and cloak to really sell the look. Did this hilt feel weird to grip? Had been wondering since it isn't the traditional cylindrical shape all around.

It is a bit weird, the raised parts force you to hold it lower, and they fade up so you feel it the whole time. Darth Revan went for style over function there hehe.

I think the uncomfortable grip is meant to lean into the character's penance. This hilt design didn't appear until TOR (the MMO) which was set after his redemption in the original KOTOR.

Well if it was thought out like that, then they did a good job because your hand would be nice and crampy after a session. For basement battles it's fine IRL tho, just not optimal.

I assume this is you in the photos?

Yep. Lots of trial and error and timers.
