Hasbro Star Wars The Black Series Reva (The Third Sister) Force FX Elite Lightsaber Haslab Campaign Launches

Jay Cochran - May 27, 2022
We saw it leak out the other day, but now the Hasbro Star Wars The Black Series Reva (The Third Sister) Force FX Elite Lightsaber Haslab campaign has officially launched. The cost is $499 and the campaign will need a minimum of 5k backers by July 11.

When we first see her, it’s a flash of a black uniform … a bright red blade … and a ruthless expression. This Force-sensitive villain is more than a match for the Jedi—and is an unforgettable new character in Star Wars entertainment.

Are you ready to help Inquisitor Reva on her mission?

For the first time in live-action entertainment, Inquisitor Reva and her double-bladed LIGHTSABER™ made their debut in the Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi™ streaming only on Disney+. And only HasLab can bring her iconic lightsaber from onscreen battle scenes right into your hands.

Inquisitor Reva—also known as The Third Sister—is calculating, ambitious, and will stop at nothing to bring down the Jedi. Inquisitors were tasked by Darth Vader™ with a mission to destroy all children of the Force—giving them access to the Empire’s latest technologies, including the double-bladed lightsaber. It features dual modes—single- and double-bladed—ideal for disorienting and incapacitating enemies.

Now’s your chance to join the Inquisitors’ ranks with a lightsaber built to destroy even the most skillful remaining members of the Jedi Order™. With this premium roleplay item, you can gear up like an Inquisitor and relive key moments and thrilling battle scenes from Obi-Wan Kenobi—imagine the storytelling possibilities!

Don’t miss out! This crowdfunded project will run from May 27th 2022 7:30PM ET to July 11th 11:59PM ET. If successful, the project will begin shipping Fall 2023.


Force-Powered Features

Coordinated attack technology: Combining advanced LEDs and entertainment-inspired sound effects that can be applied across two integrated blades, the Inquisitor Reva LIGHTSABER is the most dynamic Force FX lightsaber yet.

Unique form factor: This lightsaber features both half- and full-circle configuration—complete with lights and sound effects—based on the Inquisitors’ iconic lightsabers featured in the live-action Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi streaming on Disney+

Size: With both blades attached, this massive lightsaber measures over 6.5 feet long!

Detailing: Down to the smallest details, we’ve designed an official double-bladed lightsaber like the ones you’ve seen across Star Wars entertainment—from its bright red light effects to its beveled hilt.

Includes display stand: Proudly display this lightsaber on the included metallic grey stand.

Includes rechargeable battery—so you’ll have enough power to imagine thrilling adventures on the go.

Choose Your Battle Mode with Coordinated Attack Technology!

Imagine all the features you’ve come to love from The Black Series Force FX Elite LIGHTSABER—taken to the next level.

I figured this was going to happen, I didn't see much enthusiasm from people when it was first announced and the only atenttion it seemed to be getting wasn't the good kind. I think there were a number of factors that lead to its failure and yes I believe the controversy surrounding the character was probably one of them but I'm not going to get into that as quite frankly I'm tired of hearing about it. I feel that this didn't need to be a Haslab project, it could have been a Pulse/Disney shop exclusive or even a Galaxy's Edge exclusive. Of course in order for that to happen the blades had to be removable so they could fit better in the packaging. I don't collect FX lightsabers so I'm not up to date or very knowledgeable in them but I have heard from people that it's better to go the independent route as some companies make good quality products for a reasonable price and they can be more durable. As for a Black Series Haslab project, I would think an X-wing would be a good choice. Include a new X-wing pilot Luke, maybe a new R2-D2, have the tiers unlocks be pieces to recreate the Dagobah landing or a Rebel Alliance hangar, find a way to have the stripes on the wing interchangeable to make the X-wing be Red 5 or 3 or something which would encourage people to fund more than one.

BTW, I stumbled across a limited handmade independent run of this lightsaber on Instagram. The maker is also charging around $500, but the hilt is made of ALUMINUM, not plastic like this damn thing. Value is one of those things the other product teams seem to understand, while the Star Wars team seems to think that they can sell anything at any price, and collectors will buy it, because it's from Star Wars.

I couldnt agree more; it says a lot that one of the biggest franchises in history cant get funded twice in a row, but a freaking proton pack, Transformers Victory figures, and 2 GI Joe projects can.

I forgot about Ghostbusters. They also seem to have a pretty good idea what the fans want. A couple of the unlocks for the proton pack seemed like BS (especially the hose to connect it to the previously released particle thrower, since that should have just been included anyway), but adding the decals to backdate it to the '84 version was pretty damn smart. The display stand was a fairly nice touch, too.

Good. This needed to fail. I had hoped the Star Wars team would have learned from the Rancor failure, but it seems they considered that a fluke and stayed the course. It wasn't a fluke. Marvel, GI Joe, Fortnite, Transformers, Power Rangers...none of those other brands are as out of touch with the collectors in the fandom as the Star Wars team. I'm sure some of it is driven by Lucasfilm but that's definitely not the whole of it. I really hope this finally leads to positive change in the Star Wars brand and that the takeaway isn't "Black Series Haslabs are just destined to fail."

shelling out 500.00 for yet another giant lightsaber.

Let's not have a discussion about the controversy here, but I will say that while being connected to a character that fans didn't connect to the way Lucasfilm seemed to hope they would for whatever reason didn't help (personally, I just think Reva was kind of boring), I think price may have had more to do with it not being backed than anything else. It's the same light saber used by all the inquisitors. At $500 it should have come apart (more than this product was designed to do) or been motorized to spin. Those are the features it has in the show(s). Without those features it should have cost maybe $400 at the most. Like with the rancor, the value for this thing just wasn't there, and it seemed like the folks at Hasbro's Star Wars brand thought collectors would go for it just because it's a Star Wars item.

I can't help but feel like part of the problem is the controversy surrounding the character of Reva herself. I don't want to be one of those angry fan boys, and I'm not stating an opinion personally on the character one way or the other, I'm just thinking that controversy probably had to do with people not wanting to back the project. I know it didn't make memore excitedabout shelling out 500.00 for yet another giant lightsaber.
