DV5 – The Power of the Empire Forged in Cold Precision
“I am your father.” In a galaxy ruled by fear and fire, Darth Vader’s lightsaber stands as the ultimate symbol of authority and dread. The DV5 is a masterfully crafted tribute to Vader’s Empire Strikes Back saber, blending chilling cinematic legacy with real-world MPP-inspired design lineage. This very flash tube model helped define the most iconic saber prop of all time. With every strike, this saber whispers of power earned through pain, of a Jedi lost to darkness, and of a galaxy brought to heel under the grip of the Empire.
