this is a sith lightsaber, from the war. I keep it on a shelf right next to my stormtrooper armor and imperial officer’s uniform. I’ve even got a verified chunk of the death star from yavin. I’m just a collector. I just think the history is interesting. no, I don’t have any rebel stuff

Mine was at a hotel where none of the uniforms fitted... not one... so I immediately got very concerned about the housekeeping.
I was right to be concerned.
