The Lorsaberus Lightsaber 2Pack is also on sale at Amazon (opens in new tab) for 20% off. In between saving $20, you can enjoy a modular saber (which can be one or two sabers as you please) with a variety of colors to signal your affiliation: purple, green, blue and red. 

Now your destiny is to consider the rest of the Empire's stock with our best lightsabers page. Let's talk about how these discount entries compete against the top brands we've looked at before.

Lorsaberus Lightsaber 2Pack: $99.99 $79.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)

Not only do you save 20% on this incredible two-pack, but the modular saber includes a variety of colors to show which side of the Force you want to support: purple, green, blue and red.

The goal in buying a lightsaber is to avoid the plastic "pop-ups" that used to litter the childhoods of those growing up with the prequel series or the original series. Happily, as Star Wars grew, its fanbase matured and we've come to realize that quality kit matters in attracting the best sales.

The best lightsabers include light, sound effects and something that feels more finely machined than mass produced. But the balance is you need to make sure the weapon can literally take a beating because after all, the fate of the Force is at stake.

What we like about the three lightsabers considered here is how durable they are for play. Our best lightsabers include a broader range of weapons, including some that are more at home on a display desk or some that are optimized for those benefiting from the Empire's richness. They come with sound and light effects in many cases, although some of them embody the Force with subtler metal looks.

If you're more a rebel looking for cost-of-living friendly opportunities, we highly recommend this lightsaber trio. They will show you the power of the Force, no matter if you follow Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Rey or Kylo Ren.

To seek out more combat opportunities for your padawan, consider the best Lego Star Wars sets that feature people from all sides of the Force. Key cross-cutting franchise sets on sale for Amazon Prime Day right now include the Millennium Falcon, the Imperial Shuttle, the Mandalorian Starfighter and the AT-ST raider.
