  Best Value, Durable, Better than Electronic Models
  We are very happy with the non-battery operated line of Hasbro lightsabres and we own four different models. We had first purchased the battery operated light sabers and were not happy with them. If you are interested in my review of those different, more expensive toys, see those items to find my review.
  
  This green bladed lightsabre is owned by Obi Wan Kenobi. Anakin Skywalker borrows Obi Wan's green lightsabre for one battle. Yoda's lightsabre is also green. Some other Jedi Knights use green-bladed lightsabres. The Dark Side's General Grevious collects lightsabres owned by Jedi that he has won battles with, so sometimes General Grevious uses his collected green lightsabres to fight against the Jedi. Overall, green is not the color of the Dark Side characters' lightsabres.
  
  These less expensive and more durable light sabers are my children's favorites and preferred by my husband and I for these reasons:
  
  a. They are more lightweight than the electronic models and therefore are easier to carry and easier to grip/hold with one hand.
  b. The blades fully retract into the handle (just like they do in the movies---the electronic models don't do this) and they LOCK in the closed position so they don't fall open while carrying or wearing them.
  c. The lock is easy to operate; you hold it down and flick the blade to extend the "laser blade".
  d. When flicking it open, it takes just one quick flick to extend the blade completely open, and even children aged 4 can do this with one flick after a few practices.
  e. It closes very easily. My children prefer to push it (gently) into the ground or into the floor to close it.
  f. The built in clip works well to clip the closed unit onto the waistband of the pants, a pants pocket or a belt. Due to good design of the locking mechanism, the unit stays closed/retracted while worn in this manner.
  g. The lack of electronic components and light bulbs allows for rougher play and not worrying about breakage while using it in lightsabre to lightsabre clashing together play.'
  h. You won't have to replace light bulbs that can break in rough play (as the other models have).
  i. There are no sensitive electronic components to break if it accidentally gets wet or left outside and is rained on.
  j. At this low price we can afford to buy a couple of extras for visiting children to play with.
  k. All of the blade lengths are of equal length allowing for safer play (unlike the electronic models).
  
  Love this toy, but rated educational value as 1 as truly there is not much educational about this toy. I have no problem with this being non-educational, though, as my children have other venues to expand their education! Imaginative play is very important for children as is "unstructured free play time" and this falls into that category.
  
  
  

  A Green Classic Trilogy Lightsaber
  Off the bat, it makes me think of Luke's from ROTJ. This thing is durable no matter what you do with it. I always loved the Skiff and Sail Barge battle in that move and I act it out with this. This is a beautiful replica of Anakin's lightsaber, and I do think a green blade is better then a blue or purple one, but red is better then any. That is just my opinion, however.
  
  This packs the old activation box, which I just love. It does get in the way some times, but if you can find a good grip on this it is awesome.

  BEWARE!!!!
  While this toy has been one of the favorites from Christmas it also caused an ER trip.
  
  The collapsing blade can be very very dangerous. It caused our sons tip of his thumb to be cut off even part of the fingernail. Please use extreme caution.
  
  A week ago I would have said this was a great, durable, well-loved toy. Now it rests in the bottom of the garbage can.
