STAR WARS: ATTACK OF THE CLONES - Mace Windus (Samuel L. Jackson) Dueling Lightsaber Hilt

STAR WARS: ATTACK OF THE CLONES - Mace Windu's (Samuel L. Jackson) Dueling Lightsaber Hilt Mace Windu's (Samuel L. Jackson) dueling lightsaber hilt from George Lucas' Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Jedi Master Windu wielded his distinctive amethyst lightsaber throughout the film, including during his battle with Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison) and the Separatist Droid Army. Jackson asked Lucas for a specialized purple lightsaber so Windu could stand out, and despite some initial reluctance, Lucas agreed. This lightsaber hilt features a resin and rubber handgrip, a rounded pommel, and a black charging port. It is inset with a threaded steel rod and painted gold, silver, and black to simulate a metallic electrum finish. The threaded rod allowed for installation of aluminum blades that were used for dueling sequences and replaced frequently as they were damaged on set. The charging port is loose, and the gold finish is flaking throughout from production use and age, exposing the resin.
