The amount of detail on these hilts is incredible and even more so if they're actually made of metal. That must have taken some serious design time plus CNC.
Looks like they took inspiration from the graflex 2.0 clamp card
The brass greeblies below it are pretty
Like I said before, just the small details in these things like the cut outs and brass details.. all 4/5 axis Cnc work.. these suckers were expensive to fabricate…
I can only imagine the tooling setup… that inquisitor saber is pretty intense.. and I’m not a fan of the character or design, but have the up most respect for the person who designed it, and the machinist who actually produced it..
Wicked crazy amount of work..

Third and fourth photos illustrate the graflex brass rod protruding from each emitter end. Second shows some sort of die cast. Unclear if plastic or painted metal. Second photo, unclear if this triangular ridged section was metal or resin. Most of saber is aluminum or tempered steel. The protruding shark fins are multi chamfered. Nice workmanship overall on all sabers.

Haha I'm on the same boat I'm getting obsessed with the amount of details and still can't get over the fact that's it's most or all metal. That's insane. Each hilt must have cost a few grand to make easily... Wonder why they would do that though, but it's great for the community!
So I was looking back at the photos take by the Jedi Temple Archives at last year’s Celebration and found the EFX prototype of the Ahsoka Mando sabers. Comparing them to the props at SDCC. I see a lot of similarities. The SDCC prop has a little more weathering and nicks and dings in the grip section but I don’t see much difference that the EFX prototype got wrong. Any chance they are the same? I don’t think so because the emitter looks a little different but the body looks like efx hit the mark for a prototype.
Just throwing it out there. Tried to get similar angles but I’m no photographer. Lol
The photos taken by JTA aren’t in the same lighting or as good a quality but let’s see!

These photos are all from the exhibit. In comparison, Efx’s prototype saber appeared to be very consistent with the exhibit version, except for the wear. Even the bilateral seam matched between the original and eFx prototype. Note that Efx’s final version will be gloss coated, use hex screws, and be composed of die cast metal like the original hero hilt.
