There are three sabers I’ve been looking at and I need some help from some owners. So I am about to purchase either a guardian, consular, or lost gray. Now I have seen the lost gray looks HUGE and I have average size hands but I identify as a grey Jedi . I also love the guardian and consular as they are from my two favorite jedis. Whatever I buy it will be with premium v4 sound and flash on clash. Also I’m thinking it in guardian blue with silver flash on clash. Does that seem like a good mix? Just want to make it right as I will prolly not buy another saber of this quality or price for a long time. Tia for the help.

Guardian feels great in the hand, it would look real good and canon with what you are planning, it is a heavier hilt but with all the detail on it, definitely worth it in my opinion. If you want something simpler and lighter then go consular. The lost gray is not as huge as the fulcrum. Any of the 3 are excellent choices.

I would go Guardian or Consular just because of the detail on both of them. They are great looking sabers. The Consular is and feels slightly smaller then the Guardian. The Lost Grey is also an inch shorter then the Guardian.
Hope that helps LOL

The guardian was my first actual purchase. It is in Guardian blue and I absolutely love it. Little on the larger side, but absolutely worth it. You won't be disappointed in any of the three chosen, but in my opinion, I start with the guardian.

I've always loved the Guardian as well. Of those three, that would be my choice.
I would consider Arctic Blue vs Guardian Blue. The lighter blue on this hilt is amazing, and the blade itself is brighter and more photogenic. But Guardian Blue looks great as well. :-) Both will look amazing with silver FoC.
I would also upgrade the switch to an AV. The lit AV switch in blue looks amazing in this hilt. :-)

The ports I've seen on the Guardian on the "back" of the saber, opposite the on/off switch. I had one with a recharge port briefly (had financial trouble and had to part with it. A very sad day...). It was well placed and not in the way.

The Consular was my first saber purchase, and i got it with an Emerald setup. I love how it feels in the hands, though the shroud lends it a bit of bulk. That said, the shroud is also removable for a totally different feeling saber. It spins better minus the shroud, but it handles beautifully in combat form with it. I also favor a 32” blade with it😁🤙🏻
After having purchased a few more since then, i still come back to it to wield(though not as often as my V2’s or my Dark Catalyst)or to wear.

All three you've picked have shrouds and are therefore of bulky diameter. I'm not sure, but I think they'll be about the same thickness.
The guardian is Obi Wan's from the prequels. It's blue.
The consular is Qui Gon's from the prequels. It's green.
The lost grey is Ahsoka's from the Clone Wars cartoon. It is referred to as grey, not because it is for grey jedi, but because she left the Jedi and is therefore considered grey by some fans. In many ways, I feel she is more pure, as she left because the Jedi had gone too far in the war. I view it that the Jedi counsel fell as manipulated by Palpatine. She could not trust them, as they did not trust her, though she was innocent. She came to see the Jedi as guilty in the war. Her white saber is perhaps more pure, not just unaffiliated.
No matter which, ya gotta do you.

Selfish passion is unquenching. What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions? What power without strength of character? To self centered rage, you will be chained. The dark side is no victory.
The long path to peace is through balanced emotions. The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance. Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction. Find harmony by understanding chaos. Become one with the force, which will never die.

The shroud on the Consular is nowhere near as bulky as the one on the Guardian. Myself, I'd likely go with the Consular again, or maybe the Lost Grey. Guardian is too big for my tastes

The Consular is a very nice saber. I have an old one from when they were first released, I don't imagine it's changed significantly since then. It's not a massive hilt, so good for average/smaller hands, and seems to look good in any color.
As for the color choice, mine is actually in guardian blue, looks better IMO than green. And silver flash is the safest bet for flash, as it goes well with any color.

What catches my eye is that the consular is modular, MHS emitter and pommel, plus another 1 inch just below the emitter is also removable. So that would make it easy to customize to your own style.
I would offer this: Check you tube for reviews of each saber. Some of those reviews can be quite informative.
Plus, what options are you considering? Really depends on how much you're willing to spend, but with the smugglers deals that are out till June 16th, you can get some massive discounts which you may not be thinking of right now.

So I really am looking at getting premium sound with v4 cars, flash on clash, the rechargeable batteries and maaaabye the recharge port. I will prolly only get the recharge port if it hits the flash sale or deal of the day. Definitely gonna but it during the smugglers run promo. I really only have 300 to spend with tax included.

I will point out that the Guardian is also a large hilt. Are you looking more toward looks like a shelf queen, or to actully spin and duel with? Also, your height and size should be taken into account, the lost Grey and Guardian are too big for me (5'6 and thin.)
