If you’re a Star Wars fan, it would be unlikely not to have a lightsaber collection. It becomes a must-to-do thing after watching the movie. You might even be considered sacred in the fandom once you have it in your possession.
And if you have it, you should not put it away in a cupboard. That will not be fair to the lightsabers, and if the Jedi found out about this, that would not be so good now, will it? It will be just as bad as saying, “A bunch of teddy bears defeated the great Galactic Empire”.
Show it off, people! Display it uniquely, in your drawing room, in the living room, in your hallway, anywhere you like.
And if you are looking for some ways to display your lightsabers, but can’t find any. Then, my friend, you’re absolutely at the right place. So, let me introduce you to the incredible lightsaber display ideas.
Having a full collection of lightsabers is the biggest flex. When you have them, you never want to keep them in some hidden place. Rather, you would want to display them, to show them off to everyone.
And for that, you would need a perfectly exceptional idea to display them in a way that would look unique and compel others to take a good look at them.

1. Stormtrooper Display
So, the best way will be to become a bit of a rebel. Pun intended, obviously. Didn’t get what we mean? It’s simple, place a life-size stormtrooper figure where you want to display the lightsaber and arrange it like the stormtrooper itself is holding it.
Wouldn’t it look cool? It will!
A die-hard movie fan might not like this idea, but you can guarantee that in-depth lore hunters will get the reference.
And when you have it in your drawing room or at the entrance. Everyone will notice it and get attracted to it; that is how unique an idea it is.
And it will only make you feel great to hear great things about your lovely lightsabers, that you did not just hide away, instead, displayed them. A great decision on your behalf, even if you say so yourself.
2. Lightsaber Stand
If you are looking for something less controversial, this can be a good idea for you. The simplest way of displaying your lightsaber would be to fit it in a stand. That stand should be unique and iconic, looking attractive, and goes perfectly with the Star Wars theme.
Even though some dealers produce stands made of iron, wood, or other materials, most lightsaber stands are constructed of acrylic or 3D-printed plastic.
The stand’s composition, appearance, and size vary. Although some manufacturers create excellent lit stands with LED illumination for the hilt on display, the majority of the stands aren’t illuminated.
The stand will give out a simple but elegant look, as it will make a combination of a lavish lightsaber with a simple stand. Place your stand on the showcase in your hallway, or you can put it anywhere on display where people could see it.
It is your choice, either place it vertically or horizontally. The stands come in both designs. So, you will be able to line up your whole collection of lightsabers on some tabletop in your hallway or living room showcase; just imagine, wouldn’t it look so amazing?
The horizontal lightsaber stands are small in size as compared to the vertical ones. You can put them horizontally on the table, they will be a few inches up from the surface. But you won’t be able to put more than a few of them on a single table as they will occupy more space.
The vertical stands are also there for you; they display the light hilt facing upward. However, horizontal stands are more preferred among the people who collect lightsabers.
A vertical stand fits great as compared to a horizontal stand for showcasing the hilts that have a different shape like a Dooku style curved hilt or the one like that of Kylo Ren crossguard hilt.
Hence, you can display them in any position you want to; they will look so great that everyone passing by would ask about them, or less, comment on them.
3. Lightsaber Wall Mount
The wall mount is an accessory that is used to fix the lightsaber on the wall. It is like a stand that fits the hilt in it, and you can place your lightsabers in a line.
They can also be placed in both vertical and horizontal directions, any way you like them. They look really attractive as they stand out parallel to the wall.
It will be a simple but great idea, as it will get everyone’s attention, and look great to everyone who will pay a single glance at them. Lightsabers are already eye-catching, but the display, how you put them, the creativity you put out in showcasing them is what gives them a better shape.
Some of the wall mounts are illuminated at the end, but others are not. It depends on their manufacturers, as some of them make the wall mounts illuminated with illuminated hilts at the end. This gives a whole different lit bright aura to the whole lightsaber from top to bottom.
They come in different materials, and the most common material used for them is acrylic, but they are also composed of metal and plastic.
It is up to you how you will display them; you have quite a lot of choice. Not only in the position but material, design, etc.
You can choose whatever style you want according to your taste. And place them anywhere, on the staircase wall or in the hallways; it will look amazing anywhere they will be displayed.
4. Lightsaber Display Box
The display box not only encompasses but also displays a lightsaber inside the storage box. It also had a doubling layer which helps in the protection of the lightsaber storage box.
In addition to all the aforementioned features, a lightsaber comes with a lid used as a shield and is used to open or close it easily.
The display boxes are unique, and they are crafted with such perfection that they appeal to peoples’ eyes.
The lightsaber display boxes come in various designs and the most liked among them is the wooden-styled display box. The wooden box comes with a hinged lid and has a latch in front of the box. They are often based on wine bottle designs.
In addition to the wooden box, there is also a plastic display box. The box has a clear shelf and a base. The shelf covers the base as well as the hilt. Few of the plastic boxes are lit with LED lights, while some of them are not.
5. Lightsaber Naked Display
The naked lightsaber displays come without a stand or mount at all. Additionally, some of these display boxes do not require any additional display accessories at all.
To prevent the lightsaber from rolling off a shelf or falling down the hilt comes with a belt attachment or some other design. In this way, the lightsaber can stand on its own on a shelf or a flat surface without the fear of it falling.
6. Lightsaber Wall cross Display
Lightsabers can be displayed on the wall as a sign of a cross to make your room look more aesthetic and beautiful. This also gives a nice touch to your wall while increasing the beauty of the room simultaneously.
To hold the lightsaber on the wall firmly you can use a pack of 2 C-Cell Maglite. The basic purpose of this Maglite is different, but it keeps the lightsaber very firmly on the wall.
They are snug but you should keep in mind not to squeeze them too hard. Squeezing can make the lightsaber damaged, and it will not light for a long time or maybe at all.
Taking the right measurements, you will be able to place them perfectly on the wall. The hilts help keep the lightsaber intact.
7. Lightsaber Glass Display
One final idea, equally as aesthetically pleasing as the other ones, is to put your lightsabers inside a glass display. As it is already a light beam, when put in a glass, its lights will reflect more, giving an aesthetic look to the room.
A showcase with a front glass wall, or even a full glass showcase, will be best for this purpose. And when you use the glass with patterns embedded in it, the lightsabers will reflect more, making different patterns with light, giving the room a beautiful and attractive look.
A beautiful lightsaber display in the corner of a room would be enough to catch the eye of anyone passing by. An exceptional display of your love for Star Wars, what else could you ask for?
