STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999) - Qui-Gon Jinn's (Liam Neeson) Dueling Lightsaber with Replica Blade - Qui-Gon Jinn's (Liam Neeson) dueling lightsaber from George Lucas' Star Wars: The Phantom Menace with a replica blade. The Jedi Master wielded his lightsaber throughout the film, including when he dueled with Sith apprentice Darth Maul (Ray Park) on Tatooine and in Naboo's Theed Palace. Qui-Gon's lightsaber was subsequently used by Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) to avenge his master.

Many variations of lightsabers were designed for the film by design director Doug Chiang, with each Jedi having a uniquely crafted lightsaber designed to reflect their personality. Liam Neeson personally picked this design for his character.

This lightsaber features a hilt constructed from resin for stunt fight purposes with ribbed detailing running from the blade emitter down to the base, a red static activator switch on one side, and a black and silver paint finish. A thin metal rod is cast into the projection plate and affixed with a green aluminum replica M8-style blade for display.

The hilt exhibits paint wear, light scratches and notable scuff marks down one side from production, while bubble marks from the casting process are still present and the metal rod exhibits discoloration from age. Dimensions: 50" x 2" x 2" (127 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm)

Estimate: $20,000 - 40,000
