Question about Master Replicas Lightsabers

[JediJak]

I was looking into buying a Qui-gon Jinn lightsaber and noticed that Master Replicas produced 2 versions, a LE and a CE version. Can anybody tell be what the difference between the two versions are? Also, comparison pictures would be great if someone has them available.

Thanks in advance,
JAK

I don't own either but the CE was a resin body with metal accents I believe. I'm surprised the CE line didn't do better than it did. Though they only released 1 hilt and it arguably wasn't a really popular one so maybe they just picked the wrong character.

The CE felt like cast metal to me. It's actually much heavier than the LE. I had both, and they were all but identical. Slightly softer detail on the CE, but barely. I prefer the metal finish on the LE, but it's a negligible difference. If you don't need the fancy display case, the CE is lovely.

Yeah I think the CE was supposed to be a resin body with a metal sleeve and then late in the stage they actually end up going with cast metal instead of resin.
