“The Force is strong with this one…” Forbidden Apprentice - Starkiller 1 Inspired
Before he was Galen Marek, he was a shadow. A child wielding a saber so swift and unassuming, it caught the Dark Lord of the Sith off-guard—if only for a moment. But that moment changed the course of galactic history.
This is the Forbidden Apprentice—our original SK offering, inspired by Starkiller’s earliest lightsaber. Smaller. Lighter. Faster. And unlike any other shop, only Vader’s Sabers offers this hilt in a fully weathered, battle-worn form, true to the legend. Want to add a Covertec belt wheel? We can do that too—because we know you’ll want it by your side.
Key Features:
Weathered Version Exclusive to Vader’s Sabers – the only shop offering the accurate weathered version of the original SK-1
Compact and lightweight design – sleeker than the Marek SK-1, perfect for fast, aggressive wielding
Optional Covertec wheel – belt-ready for cosplayers and display perfectionists
Available in Empty, Baselit Xeno, Xenopixel (Neopixel), and Proffie Pixel configurations
Endlessly customizable – swap parts, tune fonts, change blades, and more
More affordable than the Marek SK-1 while still delivering elite craftsmanship
Crafted for the apprentice who walked the line between light and dark—and shattered both.
