Star Wars Electronic Jedi Lightsaber (Green)
A green blade and a ridged silver-and-black hilt: a historical lightsaber profile with recall identification guidance and a paper sound-comic activity.
The historical toy
Recognizing the green-bladed prop
A long green blade rises from a hilt striped with dark grip sections and bright silver details. The original Toysit account pairs that striking outline with electronic light and sound. This is also an identification page: the small archive image and Episode II heading do not establish which battery-compartment revision is pictured.
Before using an old green lightsaber
Keep an unidentified old unit unpowered until its model and recall status are established. CPSC recall 99-129, dated June 24, 1999, covers the Qui-Gon Jinn green-bladed and Darth Maul double-red-bladed toys. A battery-compartment spring can become displaced, causing overheating or rupture and burns.
The recalled green model has a roughly three-foot retractable blade and uses two C batteries—details that overlap this archive’s description. The notice excludes packages carrying the sticker “Now with battery protector.” A photograph or an Episode II title alone cannot settle that distinction.
For an affected toy, CPSC instructs owners to stop use and contact Hasbro. Its notice describes the repair kit offered in 1999; present availability has not been confirmed. Use Hasbro Consumer Care for current identification and remedy enquiries. The paper activity below leaves the old electronic mechanism out of play.
Try it: green-blade sound comic
A pencil, a green crayon and your voice can supply a complete miniature space adventure. Draw a prop beside four empty story panels, then decide what its owner hopes to accomplish.
- Arrival. Draw the traveler reaching a strange doorway. Invent a short voice-made sound that announces the arrival.
- Discovery. Show a clue beyond the doorway—a constellation, a message or a missing map. Give the discovery its own sound.
- A pause. Leave a generous patch of empty space in the panel. Let the traveler listen and ask a question. A moment of silence can be part of the soundtrack.
- A peaceful ending. Draw the doorway open and the travelers sharing the answer. Repeat the first sound more softly to close the story.
One person can point to the panels while another supplies the sounds. Swap roles and change only the third panel: does a different question lead to a different ending?
Make the hilt part of the drawing
Look at the alternating bands in the original image. In a drawing, a few dark stripes can suggest a grip, while a bright oval can become an invented control. Add a name beside your design and a note about its traveler. These choices belong to your paper character; the old toy’s construction stays a separate identification question.
