With Asajj Ventress returning in Season 3 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Disney also setting up a comeback for their Asajj Ventress Legacy Lightsaber hilt. Originally, the hilt was sold individually, but given that she often dual-wielded lightsabers during the Clone Wars, they’re choosing to offer two hits in a single, limited edition box set. What’s more, the hilts will be packaged in a gorgeous wooden box inspired by the one originally given to Ventress by Count Dooku in 2003’s Star Wars: Clone Wars 2D micro-series. In fact, they went so far as to preserve the four-piece lid mechanism and crossed blade presentation as seen on screen. UPDATE 2:ย Disney restocked the lightsaber set online yesterday and, surprisingly, itย is still available here at the Disney Store at the time of writing. Note that shipping is free with the code SHIPMAGIC at checkout.ย

UPDATE 1: It appears that the set is selling at the parks for $399.99 and only 4,500 will be produced (the online price may end up being different). That said, if you want to add the Asajj Ventress ligthstaber hilt box set your collection,ย you’ll want to be ready and waiting ahead of the 8am PT / 11am ET launch time today, March 11th.It will arrive here at the Disney Store at that time, and a they might employ their queue system. Also keep mind that you’ll have toย purchase the Legacy Lightsaber blades separately.ย
ORIGINAL:ย StarWars.com notes that the set will also include a printed character quote insert with the edition number, and an adaptor that fans can use to connect the two hilts. Pricing hasn’t been revealed, but if the Stellan Gios Star Wars: The High Republic lightsaber hilt that launched back in November is any indication, it will be expensive. Despite a $325 price tag, all 5000 units of the Stellan Gios lightsaber sold out in a heartbeat.ย
