Star Wars is a saga that has influenced the childhood of many of us and continues to impact our daily lives. We discovered lightsabers, which are weapons that the Jedi used to defend themselves. Today, on the market, we find various models of lightsabers, all more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing than the others. Do you have one too? Here’s how to maintain it to enjoy it for a long time.
Place the saber in the right spot
Although fictional, the lightsaber is a weapon in its own right. Therefore, it should be treated as such. For this, it must be displayed on a stand just like Japanese swords and all other types of weapons. So don’t hesitate to buy a saber stand to place your jewel in the right spot. The lightsaber stand is available in several materials, including plexiglass, which turns out to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing. The choice of stand varies depending on the model of lightsaber you own. For sabers with a large hilt, you should opt for a medium or large-sized stand.
Ensure that the crystal is always in good condition
The lightsaber being a fictional weapon, you need to activate a button before the beam of light representing the laser appears. On most models, this button is represented by a crystal. You must do everything to ensure that it stays in place.
Indeed, without the laser, the saber does not exist. To maintain it optimally, operate it delicately and recharge it as needed. The maintenance of this Jedi weapon begins already at the time of purchase. Be sure to choose a model where the crystal is well-positioned and will not easily give way, even after a fall. Go on and ‘may the force be with you’.
Share your saber only with enthusiasts
For many, the lightsaber is just a toy like any other. You have to be passionate like you to understand all the particularities of this jewel. To keep it durable, avoid lending it to people who do not share the same passion as you. They might not pay much attention to it and let it drop without making any effort to prevent the fall.
Also, people who do not know the story of this weapon might simply consider it an unimportant piece of junk. The advice is therefore to keep it away from prying and careless hands.
Clean the saber properly
After use, it is perfectly normal for your lightsaber to gather dust. There’s no need to panic. All you need to refresh it is a microfiber cloth and a non-abrasive cleaning product.
Otherwise, the hilt of the saber could get damaged and become sticky. You will then need to replace it. If you have nothing on hand, you can simply use a bit of water. Absolutely no alcohol or any product that could compromise the integrity of the material.
