The items aren’t cheap, though. The Vader helmet costs $131.99, while the Kenobi lightsaber costs $278.99. However, these are not your typical games. These are incredibly detailed replicas of items from the movies.
In addition to looking totally on the outside, the Darth Vader helmet has a very detailed interior as well. The neck piece, mask, and cap piece are all magnetically connected, so you can inspect each section. Comes with a stand for easy viewing. It also features the character’s signature breathing sound effects.

As for the Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber, it features an incredibly detailed handle, just like the one in the show. It has a removable blade that contains “Advance LEDs” that allow for gradual ignition. It also has sound effects for battle fight, duels, and battle sequence mode. Comes with a display stand.
Both of these replicas look incredible. It’s pricey, but it’s a huge step up from typical Star Wars games.
