A teaser for the Darth Maul hilt is available to view on Disney’s secret Order 54 page, and looks as though you’ll be getting a highly detailed double hilt with a fancy (most likely wooden) box with Darth Maul graphics. If you take a close look at the certificate of authenticity in the video, you’ll see that it will be a limited edition of 7000 units, and we have no doubt that it will sell out in the blink of an eye. That said, be ready and waiting to grab it along with the rest of Disney’s Star Wars Day 2024 drops starting at 8am PT / 11am ET here at the Disney Store’s Star Wars page. UPDATE: Details regarding the Darth Maul lightsaber hilt have been confirmed. It will be priced at $400. The official description reads: 

“‘Fear is my ally,” proclaims the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Maul, whose other ally is this Legacy Lightsaber Set. This special limited edition set was created in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The finely detailed reproduction of the Dathomirian’s legendary double hilt features sound effects and illuminates red when you attach two of our Lightsaber Blades, sold separately. Presented in a spectacular wooden box with Darth Maul graphics, the interior lights up red and plays Duel of the Fates when you slide open the lid.”
