Amazon.com Review
With the Star Wars Jedi Dual Action Lightsaber, the science fiction lover in your home will be able to fight the Dark Side in their very own intergalactic battles. Designed for ages six and up, the lightsaber is a perfect toy for anyone who has been a long-time Star Wars fan. At just the push of a button, your child will be ready to call upon the Force and blaze through the galaxy with his lit-up, double-bladed weapon!

Star Wars Jedi Dual Action Lightsaber Ages: 6+ Requires: 3 "AAA" batteries (not included) 3 "AA" batteries (not included) Phillips screwdriver

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: The Good: A fun, neat 2-in-1 toy for any long-time Star Wars fan. The Challenging: Ideal for indoor play or darker areas--the lightsabers lose their glow in the sunlight. In a Nutshell: Double-bladed, double-dualing lightsabers that blaze with a fluorescent blue glow.

This is no ordinary lightsaber -- it sports two blades in one.

Double-dualing, Double-bladed Lightsaber
The Star Wars Jedi Dual Action Lightsaber includes two lightsabers--a larger one and a smaller one. The smaller one can be used on its own as an extra weapon, or it can be put into the end of the larger lightsaber to form a double-bladed weapon. Both lightsabers light up with a fluorescent blue glow.

You can also easily store the smaller Dual Action Lightsaber inside its larger twin by holding down the side buttons and releasing them once it is in place. By doing this, the Dark Side will have no idea that you are coming into battle with two weapons! Both lightsaber's light wands smoothly slide back down into themselves when your child is finished playing, leaving very little clean up.

Perfect 2-in-1 Toy for Star Wars Fans
The Star Wars Dual Action Lightsaber finally gives science fiction lovers the chance to have their very own lightsaber and take part in the eternal battle against the evil Dark Side. Both lightsabers look like those used in the timeless movies, and the lights and sounds are spot-on. One thing to keep in mind is that the lightsabers are not very bright when played in direct sunlight, but are perfect for indoors or darker areas. The lightsabers are also very lightweight, making them easy for younger children to use.

What's in the Box
One larger Jedi Dual Action Lightsaber, and one smaller Jedi Dual Action Lightsaber. (Batteries not included.)

Your child will feel like a true Jedi warrior with the Dual Action Lightsaber. View larger.

Not quite what I expected
This is not a double-bladed light saber like the one that Darth Maul used in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Instead, there is a normal-sized light saber and a mini light saber that can be attached end-end. The mini light saber can either be stored (hidden) inside the handle of the bigger one or inserted in the end of the handle with the blade extended to form a second blade. The normal-sized light saber is not as nice as the other ones we have: it only retracts about two-thirds of the way, not all the way; the blade does not extend at the push of a button, but has to be manually extended. The light effects are just as good though and the sound effects are actually a little better. The mini light-saber lights up but does not make any sound. The light tends to go out when it is inserted in the handle of the larger one to form a double-blade, I think because the button rubs up against the inside of the handle of the larger one. My son seems happy with it, despite it being different from the one Darth Maul used.

Poor design, small blade turns off when attached
The smaller blade consistently turns off after being inserted into the end of the larger blade. Not immediately, but after 30-60 seconds. Might be due to the button being pressed inside the larger handle, or maybe it's designed to do that as a battery-saving feature. But I doubt it was designed to turn off, since the larger one stays on.

It's poorly designed anyway because it looks small and weak. When you think 'double-bladed lightsaber', you thing of Darth Maul's, with the same size on each end. It's clear on the packaging that one of them is smaller, I just think it's silly. But one of our kids really wanted it for his birthday when he saw it in the store, so we got it. We were all pretty disappointed that the small light kept turning off.

Disappointed
My son had wanted this duel action lightsaber because of the double ended blade. One blade is normal sized like the other Star Wars lightsabers sold. However, the other blade is so small it looks like it was made for Yoda. The smaller blade lights up so faintly that we could not see that it was lit unless we turned off the lights. Also when you attach the smaller blade into the handle so that the lightsaber is "double bladed", the feeble light will not stay on. It seems that it was poorly designed so that upon inserting the smaller blade into position, the button is turned off within. This toy is overpriced and not worth the money.
