Adam Savage just had a seriously cool Star Wars moment as he got his hands on one of the original Darth Vader lightsaber props used in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

This is one of the actual hilts wielded by the Sith Lord himself during filming. In a new episode of Tested, Brandon Alinger from Propstore guides Savage through the intricate build of this iconic piece, pointing out what makes it stand apart from the other saber hilts used throughout the original trilogy.

The deep dive into its construction and the differences between various versions offers a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes craftsmanship that helped define Star Wars movie magic.
