Title: Chosen One for the blind.
Post by: BlindJedi on December 03, 2017, 05:04:53 AM
Can anyone describe the Chosen One  to me?
Please if at all possible, compare it to the Vader saber released by Hasbro in the late 90s.  I had one of those, and it was one of my favorite sabers.
If this saber looks like I think it does, then it is going on my short list of sabers to purchase.
You guys have no idea how much I appreciate the descriptions you have given me thus far.

Sorry it took me so long to post this. If you require any clarification let me know. Also, I have never handled the Hasbro so I cannot compare them.

The Chosen One is twelve and a quarter inches long from the point of the emitter to the pommel. It has a slanted emitter that is matte black. On the back side of the emitter it squares off and has two decretive silver thumb screws. Between the two thumb screws is the blade retention screw. It is a larger size than standard retention screws in Ultra Sabers hilts. Below the emitter, the neck of the saber has the option of coming in 2 colors. The SE has a silver finish and the CE has a nickel finish. The neck comes with 7 oval windows. On the left side of the neck one oval window is vertical. Across the front of the neck there are three rows of horizontal windows two high. The horizontal windows have the option of showing light or not. About one and a half inches below the bottom row of windows is a two inch wide ring. This ring is a glossy black and is what the activation box is attached to. The activation box is set at a forty-five degree angle to the right of center. The box has the option of coming in either silver or black and is attached with 2 black matte hex screws. The saber comes with an anti vandal switch with the option of silver or black. Attached to the right side of the activation box is a silver L shaped clip. The clip points down and is non functional. It is held on by a silver hex screw and can be removed. Below the black ring and activation box the saber is the same finish as the neck. The bottom inch is slightly raised and has 6 grooved rings, they are smooth to the touch. Over the the bottom section of the saber are grips. There are six tee shaped black hard plastic grips. They start one quarter of an inch below the black ring and activation box and end at the pommel. There is a black covertec wheel that is placed on the back side of the saber, in line with the retention screw. The covert is set about one and a half inches up from the pommel. The pommel is the same color as the neck and body of the saber, has a low profile and is about one third of an inch long. It has vertical grooves cut into the sides for grip. These are like the grooves cut into a coin such as the American quarter. The pommel is vented with a very small round beveled hole in the center. Around the center hole are 6 oval beveled holes forming an outer circle.

Amazing description.  Thanks for taking the time to describe this awesome saber to me.
This saber is on my short list of sabers to purchase.

You are very welcome. I just bought a Chosen One CE a few weeks ago and have been playing with it a lot. I will say it is not a very comfortable or practical saber. It's more of a shelf queen, but It's Vader's saber so it's worth owning

Also I just noticed that covertec was autocorrected to covert in 1 place, sorry I didn't catch that.

No worries, the description was amazing even with the auto correct.

Can always see about putting a d-ring behind the top decorative screw if it'd fit :P Unless you want sort of a Revenge Of The Sith look for this one even though he didn't have his lightsaber until Rogue One technically

I intend to get the saber as is.  I really don't like d-rings all that much, I may even remove the coverteck wheel to make it more like the Hasbro version I had as a kid. 
I would love to get this with the Diamond board and use it with a blue blade.
