"A Star Wars fan from birth, I have always shown a deep admiration for the striking and impressive nature of the Jedi's weapon - a weapon for a more civilized age - the lightsaber. From the original props and replicas therof, to the epic duelling and fight choreography, it is my journey to learn and share all there is to know about these unmistakable pieces of sci-fi history."

KEAN
"My passion for Star Wars came from my father, who took me to see The Phantom Menace when I was young. Ever since, the galaxy far far away has became close to home and has inspired me to embody the passion of the Jedi and the power of the Sith. I wish to give fans what we have craved since childhood, and can now enjoy even as adults."
THE GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY MADE EVER CLOSER TO HOME
A long time ago...
COMIC CON AFRICA
Ilum Relix debuted in full force at Comic Con Africa 2024 with our first-of-its-kind saber building experience, as well as saber training sessions and high-end collector's edition replica sabers. We were monumentally well-received and have since created this for all you fans: South Africa's only online store that offers the choice to build your own saber!
In a galaxy not so far away...
COMIC CON CAPE TOWN
To celebrate May 4th, Ilum Relix hosted an interactive and completely free saber training workshop at Comic Con Cape Town 2025. Not only did we teach the various forms of saber duelling to all you eager learners, but we brought along some of our most exquisate replicas and offered fun, memorable and hands-on photo opportunities with them.
The journey continues...
COMIC CON AFRICA
Making it's much-anticipated return, our saber building experience was shifted into hyperdrive at Comic Con Africa 2025. We overhauled our entire workbench system, offering more choice and full customization allowing almost 25,000 possible parts combinations. Not only this, but we officially released our new Eco series of replica-inspired sabers, and we of course showcased some duel choreography and some iconic replicas that you all know and love.
For the fans, by the fans
OUR AMBASSADORS
We endeavour to nuture an ever-growing community of affiliated geeks and cosplayers. Seek them out at our events or on social media to ask for their opinions and experiences. Plus, watch their spaces for exclusive discounts, offers, as well as epic meet-and-greets and photo-ops. Remember: cosplay is not consent! Be respectful when approaching these awesome people.
Bad guys doing good
