OPPS82Description
Darth Maul's (Ray Park) pair of lightsaber blades from George Lucas' Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Darth Maul used his signature double-bladed lightsaber to attack Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) on the planet Tatooine, and later used it to kill Qui-Gon in his climactic "Duel of the Fates" with the Jedi master and his padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). Darth Maul was skilled in the ways of the dark side of the Force, creating the saberstaff as his signature weapon. Although the double-bladed lightsaber was first seen on screen in The Phantom Menace, it originated in the comic-book series Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi. Unlike the standard blades created for Maul, which were designed to be clamped down onto an internal threaded rod via allen bolts, these two blades were custom-made with silver-coloured emitter ends built directly into each blade for SFX inserts. They are constructed from hollow metal and painted fluorescent orange for adding a digital glow later. Both blades exhibit paint damage. Dimensions (each): 101 cm x 6 cm x 6 cm (39.75" x 2.5" x 2.5")Use
