About the Mace Windu Attack of the Clones  Lightsaber

The Mace Windu lightsaber from Attack of the Clones is one of the most ornate lightsaber designs seen in the Star Wars saga. The lightsaber hilt is polished chrome with gold and black embellishments, and intricate patterns adorn various sections of the surface. During battle Mace's lightsaber ignites with a majestic purple glow, making it even more distinctive.

There were many stunt props used during the filming of Episode I, and these varied significantly in construction from the metal hero props. The stunt props were used in filming battle scenes where a lighter weight prop was needed during rigorous fight choreography. These stunt props were made of resign with a metal core in which replaceable aluminum blades could be inserted. 

The hero props were constructed mostly of aluminum, steel, and brass, which made them quite heavy. The entire body of the hilt was chrome-plated with anodized gold trim. The black grips were made from very thin, custom-made rubber sheeting. When the props were first made the finish was highly polished, but during filming the finish appears to have tarnished and become duller. A clip was attached to the rear of the lightsaber to allow it to hang from a Jedi accessory belt.

Our Mace Windu lightsaber replica was created from a direct digital scan of one of the original hero props used in the movie. We also took numerous measurements of the prop to verify the exact dimensions and referred to Lucasfilm archive photographs in order to duplicate the finish. Our replica is constructed of approximately forty parts made of machined brass and aluminum, die-cast metal, and injection molded PVC and ABS.
