Yeah I'm not sure whether the Bane or any of these other "unique" style sabers will be permanent releases immediately or whether they will be pre-releases first. I can't imagine Phil wouldn't add the Bane at least to the permanent line up, there really isn't any competing curved saber design at that price range. Not unless you count the UltraSabers "bent" saber, that isn't truly a curved saber like the Bane. We'll have to see. It should be released early April :D

I think the Protector looks pretty awesome. I've been a HUGE fan of the Redeemer, and I see a few differences between the two hilts just on visual inspection of the images. Does anyone know the primary differences between the two? I've certainly been hoping that Saberforge will come out with a thin-necked hilt than can have a quick disconnect or a removable activation box.

The main difference between the protector and the redeemer is the protect is meant to be a more accurate reproduction of Owi-wan's ROTS saber the control box section is more detailed to more accurately represent a Graflex clap which is what part Owi-wan's ROTS saber is based off for his activation box, which started with Obi-wan's saber and Vader saber from the original trilogy as their saber prop was built using a Graflex Flash gun.

The main difference between the two is that the redeemer is far more accurate to the revenge of the sith hilt around the neck and activation box. The detailing on the neck seen on the protector is not present in the revenge of the sith version of the hilt and the detailing on the activation box of the redeemer is nearly identical to the activation box seen in revenge of the sith. The name "protector" reflects Obi Wan's role in a new hope, and more closely resembles his lightsaber in that movie.

Exactly correct
Sabers:
-Prodigal Son (Champ 12w Green)
-Consular Staff (12w Yellow {Ordering Soon})
-Sorcerer Staff (12w Deep Blue During Standard-Release)

For all those waiting on bane. Just saw this on Facebook from Phil

Update on the Bane curved saber, all parts are completed but the claws need to be remade, wrong thickness causing the blade holder to be too tight, eta another 3-4 weeks. Sorry guys.

  • The Jedi and the Sith are both a lie. The force is both, life and death. Good and evil. Black and white. May the forces be with us.

Those changes are a lot more subtle than the Epoch redesign.

if they insist on changing their most popular saber hilt (the gladius), I'm glad the changes are that subtle actually. especially since I dont own one yet

Something that I "love" about the new epoch is that they're removing the sharp edges below the windows, which is a VERY good idea! It will make the saber more comfortable and less dangerous for the hands of the wielder!

Yeah, Phil said he didn't want to make huge changes to the Gladius, since it is definitely the most popular and recognizable of SF's current designs.

Yeah, it is a dangerous bet to modify the most rekown SF hilt! However, the new design is very beautiful! I love the new emitter, it looks sweet, yet simple, with a mushroom like dome haha!

Are there any coloured renders of the Insurgent?
Does the emitter of the Renegade have blade windows??

The Insurgent/Divergent render is colored. Those sabers don't have a lot of dual tone or accent colors to them.

And yes, the Renegade will have a similar emitter to the Apprentice level Consular.
