Star Wars Series The latest work "Star Wars / Force's Awakening" has been released and it has become a big topic all over the world, but iFixit is the weapon of the Jedi knight who appears in the Star Wars "Lightsaber"Was obtained.

IFixit has obtained a lightsaber which is a weapon of the Jedi knight as a target of new decomposition. Manufacturer is Obi-Wan Kenobi, using single-core adecane crystal as power. The date of manufacture is22 BBYIt has become.


The discharge port of the lightsaber is like this.


If the iFixit staff had the force, it seems that it is possible to easily open the metal fittings of the handle, but since nobody had the force, the crystal chamber was opened by inserting a spatula.


Because Master Kenobi considered ease of repair for long-term use, it is very easy to access the crystal chamber that houses adecane crystal.


Then we are beginning to dismantle the lightsaber body. First off the pin ... ...


Removed the clamp bracket and found the charging port. "Fortunately for us, Obi - Wan seems to have used a standard DC barrel jack connector," commented iFixit.


Remove the screw fixing the parts of the main unit.


When pulling the outlet of the blade ......


A ring-shaped part that protects the discharge port has been removed.


Crystal chamber and handle part are very easily removable.


When testing a small battery, it was said that it was made of non-conductive, non-magnetic unknown material.


The grip is attached for the purpose of protecting the hands of the user from Saver's intense energy release.


By removing the protection ring, the discharge opening of the blade is visible.


Although it is an ancient weapon, it is making it not to beat the latest blaster as well.


The discharge control bars of the blades will also be disassembled apart.



It is one of the features of the lightsaber that we are removing below, Diethium powered battery. When the released blade is not in contact with something, it is said that it is a mechanism to recycle energy.


Due to the malfunction of the lightsaber, one hand of the iFixit staff was lost. However, since one hand was mechanized, there was no problem with work.


Next, when the cap of the crystal chamber is removed ......


There was a mechanism to concentrate and release the energy of adengun crystal.


Remove the parts supporting the crystal ... ...


Finally I succeeded in taking out the adengun crystal which is the core of the lightsaber. As time goes on it will start to have a special bond specific to the user.


Finally, remove the rear grip from the insulator on the handle part of the lightsaber. The shape of the rear grip is very similar to the shape of the computer's heat sink, and it seems to be able to avoid the problem of sudden overheating seen in the initial light saver.



So, if you make all the lightsabers apart, it looks like this. Since it consists of high durability parts, it can withstand fierce competition with foreign enemies, achieving ultra-long life of the power supply of the device by the diatium power battery.


IFixit's ease of disassembling and repairing was 10 in 10 steps (the lower the score, the higher the difficulty). The adhesive was not used anywhere, and it seems that it was a factor of high evaluation that all parts were removable with general tools. However, because there is a part that depends on the ability of the user as a Jedi, it seems that we can not grasp everything by just disassembling.
