Hey everyone I'm wondering who here has taken a saber staff or spear to a convention and if they found it to be very troublesome in transport or just walking around in general. I'm leaning towards taking a spear and just using it like a walking stick and I will have something to sling it over one shoulder if I need to

Not really, my wife's got a staff she carries around and it's never really an issue.  She mostly carries it on her shoulder like Rey.

Nope.



I found the trick to be carrying it vertically and keeping it close to your side. However, I speced this staff to accommodate my height (6'1"). I use 32" blades, and I carry it just below the coupler, so my blade doesn't hit the floor

I actually have a harder time just not running into people because my mask and hood wreck my peripheral vision, and with so much to see + ADHD I cannot sense them through the Force. Wink

That Sentinel staff looks badass.  I wish I had the funds to snag one of those.  Also, am I crazy or does that Vader have incredibly small hands?

His hands don't look that much smaller than mine

Also, Project:BOOYA! might be copied, but will not be recreated by its makers. Too much of a pain. Tongue Although if you don't mind sanding/buffing, you might be able to doctor a Dark Sentinel to get the same result. Drahc recommended the SE and painting to save cost.

That is an excellent costume logos. I have some short blades I can use for a staff but I'm still trying to decide. If I do the spear I can just walk with it really easily but we'll see. I do like wearing a single saber on my back because it forces people to give me a little bit of a white birth

I carried this at Comicpalooza.  Although most of the time I carried as two sabers on my belt and then would couple together during photo ops and the saber walk/parade.  I used 24" blades so that they would not drag on the ground when hanging on my belt.



I agree with DL, masks obscuring vision and robes causing a tripping hazard were more of a troublesome issue than the sabers.

Funny. I did just the opposite. I carried the staff, then split it for photo ops.
