Lightsaber hilts come in a range of shapes and sizes. The smallest diameter lightsaber hilt is typically around 1.25 inches in diameter–some Vader’s Vault lightsabers are that size. Ultrasabers Intiate V2 hilts are 1.375 inches in diameter, which is also considered a small diameter for a lightsaber hilt. Smaller diameter lightsaber hilts work well with kids and people with smaller hands.
