The Celestial Blaze

The High Republic Era was a period of peace & exploration. It was considered by many as the golden age for the Galactic Republic and in particular, the Jedi Order whose presence were much more significant across the known galaxy.

Amongst the many great works of this age, one in particular truly stood out which was the construction of Starlight Beacon. It was a massive space station situated at the Galactic Frontier, and functioned not only as central hub for the area, but also as a beacon that safely guided travelers through the vast expense of region's unexplored dark zones. It was a symbol of hope & unity.

At the center of the station was a magnificent spire that was Starlight Beacon's very own Jedi temple, and it housed the single largest number of Jedi outside of Coruscant. It was a place of great significance and today, we wanted to craft a lightsaber that would truly reflect the pinnacle of the Jedi Order.

The Mirah was the chosen hilt for this and we began by designing an intricate motif that was derived from the ornate interiors of Starlight Beacon's Jedi temple ceremony hall. During this era, it was habitual to weave the High Republic crest into designs, and we did exactly that by meticulously integrating the emblem to the motifs that were meant for the emitter and lower band of the lightsaber.

Once that was done, we proceeded to acid etch the hilt, and to truly accentuate the bespoke motif that we designed, we used a special masking technique & chemical to accurately darken only the etched surfaces. From there, we powder coated the raised bands of the saber to gold before finally applying a layer of matte clear coat that gave this Mirah a very clean and silky smooth appearance. As a finishing touch, the saber was paired with a pommel tassel that matched the golden hue of the hilt's accent color.

This legendary saber is called the 'Celestial Blaze', and like the space station that it was inspired from, it was forged to represent hope & unity. This lightsaber will be built in BOTH Neo CFX & Neo Proffie configuration, in very limited quantities. It will be available for purchase on June 17th at 9am EDT.
