Atom Sabers Gungi lightsaber has been unveiled. The custom saber, which takes inspiration from the Wookiee Jedi Gungi’s lightsaber, features a genuine wooden hilt with weathered brass accents in the emitter. Atom Sabers initially made the hilt available to buyers who had purchased other Youngling inspired sabers from the company and offered some remaining units for purchase on Facebook and Etsy.
The company launched the Gungi lightsaber, a limited run or empty hilts (for DIY), in late 2022. Although the initial hilt run is currently sold out, Atom Sabers stated in late May 2023 that they “hope to make more in next months”.
