Satellite Shan Staff is awesome I’m just not a fan of the etching but it may be that I need to see it in person

Great find Malik!

Looks good, will be interesting to see the Master in different finishes.

point on it's way.

Another beautiful Azure hilt coming...suddenly I felt a great disturbance, as if hundreds of dollars in my bank account suddenly cried out... :P

Interesting design, I immediately thought the name was a Yoda reference so was surprised to see something else. Really like how it tapers down to very thin at the pommel. Definitely a new look when it comes to a lightsaber.

I sincerely hope this pommel is going to be available as a separate purchase:

I immediately thought the name was a Yoda reference so was surprised to see something else.

Satele Shan, she's the leader of the Jedi Council in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Essentially, she's the Yoda of her time, though she's human.

Thanks for the clarity. TOR is a part of Star Wars still foreign to me.

So do I get the black version or the gold one? I have my Spectre and it kind of looks like it. I also don't have a gold saber as of yet. Black or Gold? What do you think?

First one, then the other. Don't forget a coupler to make a staff, unless you already have one. ;)

That thing looks nice! I can't justify another saber anytime soon, but wow! Ultrasabers never ceases to amaze.

EDIT: Just priced one out at $289. That's not bad at all.

I've actually known about this for a while XD Emory spilled when I was trying to figure out what to do for my diamond prize back a couple of months ago lol. Excited to see the final release!


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!

Another saber to add to the wishlist, all I need now is some money to buy it.


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: chalion on March 24, 2019, 02:53:47 PM
Note, the spring sound codes do work with this pre-sale. I just ordered a Grand Master LE with diamond and the 15SOUND code and rewards points from my last purchase knocked it down to $360. That's over $130 in savings.



Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: Therion Jinn on March 24, 2019, 03:02:18 PM
I'd like to see this in a silver only finish, actually.
It'd be truer to Master Satele's saber

Yeah, I’d like almost an antique silver finish to give some depth to the scrolling. I think weathering black is the closest right now. NGL though, the gold one is absolutely gorgeous! Looks more like a fancy wedding bouquet holder than a saber lol (and I mean that as a compliment).

Post by: Malik Thanewulf on March 24, 2019, 05:01:28 PM
Lady R, thanks for NOT sharing what you knew about this saber. It would have totally ruined the "WOW" factor for me. This might be my first staff saber. If I can get the money together.


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: Lord Sidious on March 24, 2019, 07:02:10 PM
Nice interpretation. Is the pommel MHS compatible? Good to see several different color options, that's something different.

Only with a few by special request ;) Can't go spoiling all the secrets or they lose their charm.

Pommel should me MHS compatible because the saber is compatible with MHS couplers.

Weathering the black finish is pretty close to what Satele actually wielded. It really wasn't a silver hilt.

Post by: Lady Revan on March 24, 2019, 08:24:26 PM

Yup! It was more of an antique steel grey color in the accents of the scrolling. I think this is one of the few sabers I may actually prefer weathered.


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: James Casey on March 24, 2019, 09:02:31 PM
This is a stunning hilt; I'm not usually a fan of the coloured hilts as I like plain silver in the main, but I could easily see myself wielding any of the blue, red or especially gold hilts. I don't think I'll jump on the pre-order, but I'll look forward to seeing photos in a few weeks to show how the different finishes come out!

It seems like US have had so many new 'sabres out recently I can barely keep up - I was only thinking of getting a Dark Graflex a couple of weeks ago, and I definitely want a Dorinian at some point. And the new v5 hilts have some beauties in there, too!

I was just thinking the same thing. I obviously haven't been here as long as you have, but I'm going on 3 years as a customer. During those first couple years, sure there were releases. Maybe one or two sabers a year, plus there was the Diamond launch, etc. But, they really stepped it up into overtime in 2018, and they haven't slowed down in 2019. Three months in and already a totally new release, plus the new dark version of the Graflex. And, that's only about a four months after the V5 launch. Ultrasabers is killing my wallet and willpower recently, as they're doing for a number of people, with all of these releases.

Malik: Get the gold one! I ordered the Crimson one. I love red and needed another red saber. I had to get this one! It will look good with my Sentinel Yellow LED!

I have been waiting on US to release this saber and it is better than I had hoped! I have seen other companies do this saber but their prices were ridiculous (as in expensive)! I was hoping US would release a more wallet friendly version, and so glad they did. I ordered the crimson one but may have to get the gold one too at some point!

Post by: StoryDtechtive on March 25, 2019, 05:03:20 PM
I’ve only been a customer for the past year and it seems US is always stepping up their game. I totally need to get my finances straightened out!!! As for the grand master...like many sabers, I am drawn to the gold, but really would like to branch out and get some other colors. Meantime, I have a lot of choices to think about :)


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: GreyRouge on March 25, 2019, 06:27:20 PM
Really nice new saber. Gonna be getting myself a crimson version in Bane's Heart to make myself a Pewdiepie saber and have v4 sound to make a cool soundfont for it. Also that pommel would look really nice on my azure reaper not gonna lie.

Oh man, crimson and yellow? You're talking my language now (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=17192.0).

Although I also love crimson and silver (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=12333.msg194741#msg194741) as well as gold with a purple blade, so who knows? Maybe a crimson/gold staff with silver/dark violet blades...

Never been a big fan of the red or blue anodized hilts. Just looks weird to me. I'll stick to the black.

If I were to get this, I think I might go blue and make it my Ravenclaw themed saber.

There’s a great deal to be said about the basic black and silver look. Probably my favorite color combo is something black and silver with touches of gold. Would really love to see US do a black and gold hilt. I suppose the Dark Graflex could cover that with gold buttons. But I’m also a fan of variety...and just making a saber my own in spite of movie hilt appearances. I have my sacred movie sabers I wouldn’t want to change, but I find as long as the traditional colors are available, I can grab them eventually if I so desire. And often choose some color that hits me at the time and just live in the moment of whatever makes me happy :)

I keep thinking the Azure version in SRD would look amazing, with obsidian lite and AS FOC to keep it budget friendly.  The 1.6" diameter keeps throwing me off though, so I want to see it in person first at a con because that is bordering on mantis type girth, for what I would want/consider a finesse looking saber.

That does sound amazing - the Azure with SRD combination. Something now for me to think about. I was also thinking Crimson with Pyrestone Orange but that might be too red. All excellent choices to consider.

Post by: Malik Thanewulf on March 31, 2019, 10:53:25 PM
I have  quite a few sabers that are silver or silver and black. This particular saber looks absolutely gorgeous in black and silver. But I have to admit, my favorite color is blue, so I was thinking maybe get a blue and silver one. I just can't seem to make up my mind. I think I'll hold off a bit and see what kind of sales happen, especially with may the 4th coming and possibly a summer raffle. Maybe then, I'd go in for 2 sabers.


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: Akacen on April 09, 2019, 11:26:57 AM
Must. Resist. Urge...

When I get this hilt, because I absolutely will, I'll be going for gold anodized, I think. I just like the fanceh of it. ;)


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: Edon Bluewolf on April 09, 2019, 06:19:52 PM
Malik, thanks for reminding me to about the May 4th sales that usually come out, checking my records the promotion has been 15% off all sabers the last 2 years.  So guess that would be good if getting a stunt otherwise it is the same as the current sale if getting with sound.  I'm thinking a raffle is coming up next, looking forward to finding out tomorrow.


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: Darth Tepes on April 12, 2019, 04:36:59 PM

Post by: Malik Thanewulf on April 13, 2019, 05:08:07 PM
Maybe, black and silver saber with GB blade and BR FOC.  Or the Azure version with AB blade and  VA FOC, for the Grey Jedi in me.

That's not really a colored hilt... it's chrome with some accents. I'm talking like the Reaper or Menace where the thing is fully anodized in red or blue.


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: Daniel1988 on April 19, 2019, 04:58:27 PM
I ended up switching the hilt to the LE (gold) hilt. That with my sentinel yellow MLS unit should be awesome! So excited! Can't wait for this to come!!!


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: TR-77477 on April 20, 2019, 12:40:11 PM

So I just got hands on a combat ready saber last week at the Salt Lake FanX, from a mystery box. I played with it for a few hours, and realized I needed to order myself a pair to dual wield and make a staff so I can do all my forms work with something besides wooden training swords, or things I can actually lose fingers to. When I read over the raffle and the codes available, and looked through everything, it seems that I found these at the perfect time and I had to pull the trigger on a pair of these. I'm super excited, but my wife just keeps shaking her head at me.

I'm back after the birth of my daughter and spending a couple weeks in NICU. I missed the spring raffle, but got in this morning on the May the 4th deal with:
Azure Grand Master in CG/foc AB. V4 sound. Used my 1082 points before they expired and the 15% off for a tremendous price on this gorgeous new hilt. Does anyone know if they're shipping yet?

Congrats on the birth of your daughter, I hope nothing is too serious since you were in NICU.

As far as I know, Grand Master has only begun to start to ship, I believe I read someone has received a shipping notification.

I am looking forward to my gold staff. When I went to order I was debating between the Black and Gold. Then I remembered that I requested a while back that US make a gold anodized hilt. My decision was made from that point. I may age and weather it a bit, I will have to wait until I see it in person.

I just got mine yesterday, and man this thing is sweet!

I got a diamond edition - so I am still playing with it as it's my first diamond saber. (First of three that I ordered in the same batch.)

Only problem I have had with it thus far is getting to the batteries / board to be able to plugin. Whomever assembled the saber originally -jammed- the board way high up into the hilt. I had to go thru my convertec clip hole and pry it out of the hilt. Once I did that, it's coming out like it should.

I'll post a review in a couple of days after I get to spend some time with it.

Cheers!

I can see why you suggested that. However the design is different. The Grand Master has curves/waves/circular patterns but the Spectre does not feature any curves. The Spectre has straight lines and angular cuts/turns.

Spectre and Reaper look more like circuitry lines, while the Grand Master looks more scroll like, almost flowerly.

Here you go guys and gals, in all it's glory. I present Satele's Reward. After getting this and holding it in my hand I think I will leave it shiny.  (I know, I know) I normally age or customize my sabers but this one looks and feels exceptional. The only concern I have is the length of the custom blade plug that comes with it. If you set it all the way onto the LED unit it sits below the blade retention screw. I may try to lengthen it somehow to get it to be the proper length.

All the 1" blade plugs will fit the length would be the only issue. I have placed mine so the retention screw just holds it. there is a small gap between it and the led unit.

It is nice.  I wanted something to go with my new haori for my steampunk outfit, and I thought a lightsaber would look good.  This one wasn't what I had in mind for metal material (was thinking copper/brass), but the sculpting looked the part.

They are gorgeous and so light and comfortable too, good call on getting one.


Title: Re: The GRAND MASTER IS COMING!!!
Post by: janx on May 14, 2019, 01:19:30 PM
I got the black one. It was on the top row on Sunday, around 2:45pm (I had a 3pm cosplay panel to attend, then race back to pick my completed saber up).

The one on the bottom right in your picture looks red, and that would have been double-awesome.

Originally, I was hoping to find more copper/brass (for steampunk), but what I got looks good.  What drew me in was the carved patterns and the side rods, giving it a more complex, assembled look.

That's gorgeous! How does sound escape for the staff configuration?

The coupler used for sounded sabers is hollow and has holes in it to let the sound out.  :-)   They do have a flush coupler that is not sound compatible, but using it with a sounded saber will shred the speaker.  :-/

I will have to come up with a way to get the sound to escape once I get to installing it. I don't want to ruin the flow of the staff by putting a spacer in the middle.

I'm tempted to put fine line black into the design, to replace the silver with darker tones, but I would need to soften the CAD drawing they used to do the etching.  It just looks too, I guess, choppy, to me.

I agree chal, the lines looked a lot smoother than they are, but still they kind of remind me cave drawings. I still love the saber as I think the emitter with the struts (even though it's not removable), is one of the sexiest in the entire US arsenal.
