The first Ezra Bridger lightsaber from Star Wars Rebels was both a lightsaber and a blaster. It was as unconventional as Ezra’s journey to becoming a Jedi was.

Most of the pieces on this lightsaber are easy to draw freehand, or I do have a template list above for some of the difficult shaped pieces. You may need to adjust their size depending on the diameter of your cardboard tube. (My tube was 1.5 inches in diameter).

The “gold” strip that I put at the top of the saber, was actually copper on the Ezra Bridger lightsaber, but I chose to make it gold on mine, since I already had a lot of scraps of gold foil. If you want more authenticity, use copper foil. You can also just use copper paint as an alternative.

The copper wire I used came from inside an old phone cord I had saved a few years ago. Have I mentioned I save everything for future propmaking? 😉
