This is a great light saber. I hadn't seen it until recently. You can either put both pieces together as shown or you can take them apart and have a regular sized light saber and a small, more knife like one for two handed battle. My cousin is a huge Star Wars fan and was thrilled to see this. Great for pretend play.  This red one is used by the sith so it's great for any Star Wars fan called more toward the dark side.
