Banes's Heart, Darth Zannah by GCS
« on: July 05, 2014, 01:50:30 PM »


I was commissioned by a client to design and build the lightsaber of Darth Zannah as written by Drew Karpyshyn. It was intended to be subtly influenced by my Darth Bane design, but not look too much like it.

The saber is made for a woman's hands, yet sturdy enough for full on duelling. it's designed to be one saber not two, yet the internals are entirely seperate. It has all the components of two complete sabers.

Features include:
  • CF7/Pcs set to mirror/balance each other
  • Bane's Heart crystal lit from both sabers
  • Acid etched text
  • Subtle brass accents
  • Krayt Bone TM elements
  • Premium spakers
  • 7.4 volt Lithium Ion battery Packs
  • R.I.C.E. interface

The combination of the bone segment and the brass tip is amazing.
Keep it up  ;)

Haha... Well, it's a fool's errand, boy. The Emperor's army is infinite. You'll eventually be killed... or worse... and nothing will have changed.

Looking awesome Rob! I like how the Darth Zannah saber is influenced by the Darth Bane saber but still has its very own style!

Beautiful double bladed saber.  Nice work on the acid etching and the brass elements really set it off nice.  Great job as usual Rob.

I love that it`s a single saber (not two connected with a coupler).  Great esthetics. Beautifully done.

Truly a masterpiece! The Darth Bane Trilogy are my favorite books, and i think you did them justice with this saber.

Thanks everyone.
The client is a cosplayer and photographer - so I hope to see some action shots at some point.
