Shadowfoil Props “Youngling Slayer” — Custom Brass Hybrid Chassis Install

This is the Youngling Slayer - Shadowfoil Props’ offering for a highly accurate Anakin hilt. For this commission, the goal was a fully custom hybrid reveal chassis, and I'm incredibly pleased with how it came together. Every chassis I design is an opportunity to refine my style and push my skills a little further. Looking back on this one, it feels like a significant step forward in my design work. The hilt itself presented some unique challenges due to the varying internal diameters throughout the body, but overcoming those constraints ultimately led to a solution I'm particularly proud of. The chassis is constructed from a combination of solid brass and MJF nylon. Rather than a removable battery solution, this build utilizes a fixed internal battery with USB-C charging and data access, paired with a high-amperage charging board for convenience and reliability. One of my favorite features is the plasma chamber, which conceals an acrylic tube surrounding a brass core. At its center is a blue Edison-style filament that gives the chamber a unique industrial energy source aesthetic while still feeling right at home inside Anakin’s iconic saber. For the finish, the customer chose to keep all of the brass components highly polished. Anakin’s lightsaber has always stood apart for its clean chrome-and-steel appearance, and the polished brass complements that aesthetic beautifully without feeling out of place. The result is a chassis that feels both mechanical and refined—fitting for the weapon of a Jedi Knight who was equal parts brilliant engineer and walking cautionary tale.
