Apprentice saber's aren't inferior to elite sabers, at least in my opinion. They're all wonderful works of art. Whichever one you want most and appeals to you most is the way to go.

The Apprentice sabers are a little thinner, a little shorter, and perhaps not as....complex in design as the elite sabers, but they are just as good for combat, and certainly attractive in their own right. I am always drawn to the Elite sabers first, but I have my eye on the Consular at some point down the line. I think it will make a fine addition to my arsenal!

Yeah, I think my problem mostly is the fact that, I don't know about buying an apprentice hilt with sound.... I don't know, I guess it's mostly me thinking that, if I'm gonna buy a soundboard and all, it might as well be with an elite saber...
If I didn't want to build my own saber I could easily see going the bargain route with an acolyte and give it that weathered look(may do that and after warranty is up tinker with it too). The apprentice tier looks like a great place to start totally worth putting sound in. You could always try something out at apprentice with sound then either sell/trade with someone to somehow help get an elite you like and you'll know a lot more about everything...like how much you like the colors you choose, length of blade and how satisfied you are with the illumination, the comfort in handling a saber while swinging it. After you get it you may just want to keep it and get another and another and another...it is nice to have extras for when your friends are over. Then people don't feel left out on a chance to knock over lamps and breaking things...probably best to take your friends outside when playing with lightsabers. |

Dude you are so right. I just recently ordered a warrior tier Disciple and my friends seem a bit more excited for it than I do haha. I'm sure they'll also get around to buying a saber omce they see mine, but I feel kinda bad that I'll only have one. Luckily the apprentice sabers are so affordable! |

All their sabers are nice. The apprentice sabers are amazing. A little less material and machining goes into them. Not Quality. Its all there. Good for first time and cash conscious buyers. Or someone who has children with the need to want a saber.

New apprentice. Just bought my SF lightsaber and I am very pleased with the quality and workmanship.

Alright well, thanks a lot guys, all of the answers here are truly helpful! Everything that's left to do is actually choose a saber! I'll get back to you when I either make a decision or when I have another question. I might wait to have a costume to go with the whole cosplay, 'cause I stille have no idea if I'll be Jedi or Sith (color of the saber will change with the costume, I guess). Thanks again!

Another quick question: Is the balance really that bad with an apprentice saber combined with the 37'' saber? Is it only a preference thing or is the balance clearly off? This is kinda tricky, cause as I said, I'm pretty tall and a shorter saber doesn't have the same impact, so I have the wiegh the pros and cons of the 37'' saber. Thanks again!
