Cloud City, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Darth Vader waits in the carbon-freezing chamber, saber drawn, for the son he intends to turn — and the duel that follows ends with four words that changed cinema forever. The Combat Lightsaber - Model Vader E5 honours the hilt Vader carried through the Bespin duel, the darkest chapter of the saga.
Only charge with a 5v 1amp max charger
Vader's Episode V weapon is the definitive Sith hilt — black, functional and merciless, built for the overwhelming power of his blade work. Find his other eras in the Darth Vader lightsaber collection, or browse every red lightsaber in the armoury.

Yes — a display stand is included, along with the charging cable, screws and hex key.
Why is Vader's blade red?
In canon, Sith blades burn red from corrupted kyber crystals — the full story is in our lightsaber colour meanings guide, and his fellow dark siders live in the Sith lightsabers collection.
Can I swap blade lengths?
