How much money are you willing to spend on a lightsaber blade plug? Functionally, lightsaber blade plugs are meant to be installed in the lightsaber when you’ve removed the blade in order to block out most of the bright LED light so it doesn’t shine in someone’s eyes. But many lightsaber enthusiasts look for blade plugs that add style and flare to their lightsaber as well.
