No. The Saber Smugglers program includes complete step-by-step training, video tutorials, and troubleshooting support. Even if you've never built anything before, we'll teach you everything—from electronics to finishing. Your first saber will be completed in approximately 3 weeks.

Results vary. Income depends on execution, skill growth, market demand, and follow-through. What we do provide is the kit, training, marketplace infrastructure, templates, and community to help you produce real outputs.

Common retail value approximately $400-$800 per saber. Build cost ranges from $120-$180, and sabers sell for $400-$800 depending on the electronics package (baselit RGB, XRGB3 soundboard, or premium Xeno 3.0 Neopixel). Profit margins range from 70-85%. Your first sale typically covers your entire monthly kit cost.

3 weeks to build, 30 days to first sale. Most Founding Rebels build their first saber within 3 weeks and make their first $808 within 30 days using the provided marketplace, listing templates, and marketing support.

Each tier includes:

Builder Bounty Kit ($297/month): 4 hilts, 2 XRGB3 soundboards, 2 baselit RGB kits, 4 blades, case, tools, accessories

Pro Bounty Kit ($347/month): 4 hilts, 4 XRGB3 soundboards (upgraded), 6 blades, coupler, group coaching

Master Bounty Kit ($397/month): 4 hilts, 3 XRGB3 + 1 Xeno 3.0 premium kit, Neopixel blade, 1-on-1 coaching

All tiers include training library access, Rebel HQ community (Sabernet), and Rebel Broadcast.

We provide a private marketplace where you list your completed sabers. The platform handles marketing, payment processing, and buyer connections. You build, ship, and keep 70-85% profit after marketplace fees. We also provide listing templates and pricing guides.

No pressure to sell immediately. You can stockpile inventory, sell at your own pace, or focus on quality over speed. Many members build collections before listing. The monthly kits are designed to provide ongoing inventory—not create pressure.

No contracts, cancel anytime. All three membership tiers are month-to-month subscriptions. You can cancel anytime and retain access through the end of your billing period.

There are No refunds, but there is unlimited support. We'll coach you until you hit your first $808. No time limit. No excuses. All sales final, but your success isn't.

However, Founding 100 benefits (FR badge, 15% profit-share, summit access, Wall of Honor) are only available to the first 100 members and cannot be obtained after the founding period closes.

The first 100 members receive lifetime perks that will never be available again:

Permanent "FR" Badge – Visible founder status forever

15% Profit-Share – Earn 15% referral commission (vs 10% standard)

Lifetime Rank Advantage – Priority placement on Bounty Board (always at the top)

Founding Summit Access – Annual in-person summit with the original 100

Wall of Honor – Permanent listing on the Founding 100 legacy page

Pioneer Status – Your name could be #1 on the Bounty Board

After the first 100 spots fill, these benefits are permanently closed.

Yes. You can upgrade from Rookie → Hustler → Boss at any time to access premium soundboards, Neopixel kits, and advanced coaching. Downgrades are also allowed (e.g., Boss → Hustler) if you want to adjust your monthly kit size. All tiers include Founding 100 benefits if you join during the founding period.

The LSTA Rebellion has 4 distinct paths:

Saber Smugglers (this path) – Build sabers, flip for profit ($400-$800 per saber)

Shadow Warriors – Train at home with AI-guided lightsaber combat (15 min/day, stress reduction focus)

Temple Warriors – Train in-person at certified LSTA academies (earn ranks, join a tribe)

Academy Commanders – Open your own LSTA-certified academy (franchise-style business ownership)

Take the 60-second Path Quiz to find your best fit.

Yes, it's legal. You're building and selling custom light swords (generic term), not "Lightsabers™" (trademarked by Lucasfilm/Disney). The LSTA program and marketplace operate independently and are not associated with Disney, Lucasfilm Ltd., or any Star Wars franchise. You own the sabers you build and can sell them as custom props.

No. All necessary tools are included in your monthly kit (screwdrivers, Allen keys, etc.). You can build sabers on a kitchen table or desk—no garage or workshop required. The kits are designed for home builders with limited space.

We've got you covered. The Rebel HQ community (Sabernet) includes troubleshooting support, build guides, and live help from experienced builders. If you damage a component during your first build, contact support—we offer first-time builder grace (replacement parts at cost).

We provide shipping guidelines. Sabers ship via standard carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) in padded boxes. You're responsible for packaging and shipping, but we provide templates, recommended carriers, and insurance tips. Most sabers ship for $10-$20 domestically.

Absolutely. Many members build personal collections or gift sabers to friends/family. The marketplace is optional—you're never required to sell. Some Founding Rebels focus on building mastery first, then transition to sales once they've perfected their craft.

The Bounty Board is a public leaderboard tracking:

Total sabers built

Total revenue earned

Fastest build times

Rank progression (Rookie → Hustler → Boss → Legend)

Founding Rebels get priority placement (always at the top), and the #1 spot is still unclaimed. Your name could be the first Legend the Rebellion ever sees.

Rookie – Join + build first saber (unlock: Rebel HQ, Broadcast, Starter Kit)

The LSTA was built by 4 legendary instructors with 30+ years combined experience:

Sijo Nathan Young – 2x World Champion, 2004 Olympics Performer, Creator of 9-Form Combat System

Sifu Edward Armstrong – Academy Builder, Largest US Light Sword Academy (6 months), Entrepreneur of the Year

Sifu Julliana Armstrong – Military Contractor (Langley AFB, Fort Eustis), 3x National Escrima/Kali Champion, First American Light Sword Referee (Milan, Italy)

Sifu Nick Benseman – Hollywood Stunt Director/Choreographer (Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Tenet, The 5th Wave)

No. This is a build-and-sell business model requiring consistent effort. Average members build 3-4 sabers per month and earn $808-$3,200/month depending on tier and sales volume. Success depends on your commitment to learning, building quality, and listing consistently. This is not passive income—it's an active side hustle that rewards execution.

30+ years of combined proven results. The Light Sword Training Academy has trained 1,500+ students, operated multiple physical academies, and built a global reputation in the combat sports and prop-building communities. Sifu Edward Armstrong built the largest US Light Sword Academy in 6 months and won Entrepreneur of the Year. This isn't a bedroom scheme—it's a proven system backed by world-class instructors.
