bsu legato, on rebelscum MRAmy announced (after much harassment about the subject) that MR does plan on doing a CE of the boba fett blaster. BUT, the plan could still change and be cancelled. AND, it won't come out 2006.

It's big. It's something like 32" long.

Found this on another site I visit. Best fan made lightsaber flick I have ever seen.

OBviously corny but extremely well done! They had moves in there that were better than what was in the movies!

It's actually funny but there are several moves from this fanfilm that are in the Obi/Anakin fight in EP III.

This film has been circulating for ages. I noticed that ecrapsworld picked it up recently too.

Oh, that's cool. Still not a fan of the ROTJ version, but cool nonetheless.

[Uxi]

The EE-3 looks pretty cool!

[fansubs2000]

Hey Port,

Cool pics of your wife with the lightsaber!

It's good to see women Star Wars fans.

Now if only there were a lot of women Macross fans

I'll attach some pics to share as well.

What it's out already!?!?

SWEET!!

I'm gonna go check out TSV right now.

Thanks for the heads up!

I saw the Maul dual at Frank & Sons today. I'm thinking I'll wait... it will probably $150 and less for the dual pack in a couple months...

Besides, I finally found a Hikaru VF-1S for a reasonable price (and we're talking 2002 prices here). Box was dinged up but I'm opening and stickering up anyways and gonna toss the box (maybe keep the front flap).

Somone put it up at YouTube, pretty amazing fan work!

[Sumdumgai]

So has anyone ordered and received the Qui-gon Jinn LE lightsaber? There's pics up on rebelscum and that thing looks good.

Nope, but the pics do look good. I'm still hoping I can scrape together the cash to buy one of the last Obi Wan sabers, before they go out of production, but its not looking good. If that doesn't happen, I'll probably buy the replica parts to make an ANH version.

Still need to get the circuit board, d-ring, and that sharp cone shaped knob.

[Sumdumgai]

Ooooh nice and weathered looking.

i've got one on order that i'm having a luxeon conversion on.

after i get it, i plan on cutting each blade down, probably 4" off each end if i'm guessing right. it'll make it easier to wield.

what is the length of each blade and the length of the combined sabers w/o blades?

i want to cut it down to the same size as my bo.

[Hikuro]

I was thinking if I were to get the maul staff, I'd have ot get it half now half later.....no way I can spend 200 bucks in one shot.

[Macross73]

i was wondering if any body ever made a saber from a Graflex flash handle or from scratch ?

I'm considering getting a Graflex handle and doing this.

I've googled the heck out of this and it seems fairly straight forward.

Is it worth it? What i really want is a removeable blade.

I thought about buying a modified Master Replicas FX.

There some I thnk look nice and may buy.

[AC Starscream]

I have a Darth Vader FX lightsaber. I always wanted to get one and so I decided to put out the $$$ during Christmas when Borders had a 35% sale on everything. I would like to get the Darth Maul double Lightsaber. And they just came out with an pre order for a new Obi Wan FX...ALways thought that one looked pretty cool.

There are kits you can buy of replica graflex camera flashes with all the parts necessary to add to make your own Luke ANH or ESB lightsaber replica. If you don't want a static handle, and you want one that has an electroluminescent blade or LED blade made of polycarbonate, then I think there's some kits too and some places that make and sell them.

If you're thinking of doing a replica of the Obi-wan Kenobi ANH lightsaber you might want to check out Roman's Empire for getting your parts (in particular the emitter, which is innaccurate on the Master Replicas piece, since the part was identified only recently):Roman's Empire

Roman has a good reputation on the replica prop forum.

I unfortunately can't recall any trustworthy places to get graflex replicas. There is Parks, but he's got a questionable reputation and I've heard a lot of horror stories about him which include long wait time for products, poor customer service, and a bad attitude. I have heard good things as well, but to get a better idea if you're thinking of getting a graflex from him (either a replica camera flash to turn into a lightsaber, or an EL lightsaber) read up on him on the replica prop forum.

[Macross73]

thanks

I've heard the same things about Parks. I'm looking through other shops for the Graflex handle. its not easy to come by.

I'll be sure to chekc out Roman's though.

thanks

[Stamen0083]

So what is that part that the Obi-Wan emitter is made of?

Too bad Parks is the only one offering replica flash guns. I've wanted a Graflex and an MPP for so long, but I can't find a good one besides Parks.

[Sumdumgai]

The emitter is a "Rolls Royce derwent engine balance pipe" or something like that. A part of a jet engine or something, I forgot what era it's from, but suffice to say you won't be getting ahold of an original.

The "gear" the part that rests between the graflex clamp and the armitage shanks faucet handle, is a Browning ANM2 machinegun booster.

Yeah it's too bad that Parks seems so be the only one offering replica flash guns. I searched to see if Larbel was still doing replica graflex flash guns, but his site is down and it looks like it's been down for quite a while.

Well, Macross73, maybe you can pick up a Parks graflex replica from an ebay dealer, that way you get it right away and you're not giving money to Parks.

[Macross73]

what i'm really hoping to do is find one at an antique shop but who knows

I'm really temptated to just use ebay and get it now.

edit : i just looked up parks website and saw 12 - 14 weeks for delivery!

for those that are interested prices start about $150

I think i'll take my chances on ebay right now.

I still have an ObiWan TPM Larbel I'm trying to sell

over at fx-sabers, they have some places where they talk about getting stuff and making them.

Nope - I don't own one.

[Hikuro]

Lil lacking in detail, pretty simplistic design but I reallyc an't complain on it since it can be used to mess around with. Wish I could do just make my freakin own like I knew what I was doin.

[Chowser]
