So I've just recently joined here and purchased my first lightsaber through the kickstarter for ASP as well as a saberbelt through the etsy shop. While this will be my first SF, first stunt saber, it's technically not my first lightsaber. Circa 2001 I bought a replica graflex 3 cell and a kit to add on the additional pieces to make a replica of Luke's ANH saber. It has no light or blade capabilities but you always remember your first.

Your fortunate to have a graflex as your first. Mine was a plastic hasbro TPM Obi Wan with one of those retractable blades.
 I still have it of course but damn has it seen some better days. |

My first two lightsabers were the Hasbro ones with retractable blades, as well. I got them in a box thing that made them look suspiciously like knock offs of the actual Hasbro toys looking back on it. The two of them were identical in hilt to Luke's ANH saber, but one was blue and one was red. That was enough to distinguish between Luke and Vader for my brother and I back then.
They made those things to last back then. Oh, we bashed 'em around like wild men, sure, but we also took pretty good care of them. Any damage they got was from an opposing blade. Course, only having two sabers meant my dad couldn't join in our lightsaber fights. At least, that was the case until I got my tiny child hands on a Qui-Gon Jinn variant, which is my true first 'lightsaber'. |

Hi all,
Having just received my Disciple on Christmas Eve, I have to remember where it all began, I wrote a post describing my first Lightsaber experience in the thread "Instead of complaints, how about some stories". From this first flashlight Lightsaber, I eventually got the same Obi-Wan saber Dr Anthropologist described then two more which I can share with you here. 
Of course the Saber in the middle is my SF Disciple but the other two are (on the left) a Lucasfilm licensed (2001) Anakin Phantom Menace Interactive. This one still works and has Interactive lessons voiced by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, and even a security feature to activate it. The second one (on the right) is another Lucasfilm licensed Saber, this time a Luke Skywalker ROTJ, this one just lights up and has basic swing, clash and hum sounds. They served me well but the chrome was peeling off them and were just getting old and needed replacing. I hope these bring back memories for some of you, For Tyeth |
