The new Stellan Gios Legacy Lightsaber Hilt, the first to be inspired by Star Wars: The High Republic, will be available as part of a limited edition box set with just 5,000 pieces globally from Life Day on November 17th at shopDisney and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
This limited-edition set includes a Lightsaber hilt that is based on Stellan’s iconic cross guard lightsaber, in the unique designs seen during the era of the High Republic. In addition, it comes in a stunning collectible wooden box with The High Republic Adventures comic, featuring an exclusive new cover from the incredible Harvey Tolibao from Dark Horse Comics.
When a Legacy Lightsaber Blade is attached to the hilt, the blades will illuminate with Master Gios’ signature blue color (cross guard blades included, Legacy Lightsaber Blade sold separately) – it is sure to be an elegant addition to any collection!
“We have been looking for an opportunity to create a High Republic Legacy Lightsaber hilt for some time now, but wanted to release one in an exciting way,” shares Cody Hampton, senior manager of merchandising. “To bring it to life, we teamed up with Lucasfilm Publishing to pick one of the most popular Jedi from this era, with one of the coolest looking lightsaber hilt designs. Jedi Master Stellan Gios felt like the perfect fit with his blue cross guard hilt, and we’re excited to offer it with the exclusive variant cover of The High Republic Adventures.”
“Seeing the Stellan Gios legacy Lightsaber in all its glory is truly surreal, to put it mildly,” said Michael Siglain, creative director for Lucasfilm Publishing. “This era showcases ‘the golden age of the Jedi,’ and that is exemplified in the design of Jedi Master Stellan Gios’s lightsaber. Artist Jeff Thomas took the idea of ‘the Jedi at their height’ and created an iconic and ornate lightsaber, one that is instantly recognizable as a High Republic lightsaber.”
Michael Siglain has confirmed that the the comic included in the box set is a full reprint of Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures 2021 Annual, not just the Stellan & Vernestra story, and features an all-new cover by Harvey Tolibao with colours by Kevin Tolibao.
Happy hunting!
