i own an MR Obi ROTS LE  but not a fx..
what i do know is that the LE is a lot more slim and sleaker the the FX,the emitters neck is a lot smaller on the le too.
if you got the moeny really go for thE LE you wont regret it,its an awsome prop!

Of course, the major difference would be that the LE was a prop, no electronics.  The FX, of course, has the lights and sound, but is often not "screen-accurate" due to the need to accommodate the electronics inside.  This has, so far, seemed to limit how small the inside diameter can be.  What are you after?


Anything worth doing is worth doing right; anything worth having is worth waiting for!

i'm after accuracy over lights and sound to be honest, i'd prefer to have a saber thats accurate and does nothing, than one thats wrong and lights up. the luke anh, esh anakin rots are good examples of pretty accurate while having the bonus of lighting up

I've got both.  I'll post an LE/FX comparo tonight or tomorrow.

Big size and dimension difference between these two, btw.

Listen to Obi-wan you must.

I have both as well, but don't have time to take the pictures tonight and going out of town for two days.

If your looking for something accurate even in the slightest the MR/HFX one isn't what your looking for.

thanks for the link, the vid has "been removed by user" though unfortunately.

i've seen from looking at pics it suffers from the "fat neck" like the luke rotj, but other than that is it a lot wider/longer/just wrong?

razorsharp192 ,

you should check ou the following forums.
rebelscum,RPF and  try ebay US too.
ive seen some loose obi rots le's go for about 150$ thats a bit more then the fx saber.
there are a few fanmade sabers too there on these forums somewhere reasonable priced too.

museum replicas with efx have made a resin presision cast of the obi rots saber and looks a lot like the mr LE only it casts about a 100$ for one.
