Luke V2 question

[J.Max]

I haven’t been around in a long, long time…but…I’m looking for a Luke V2, and I’ve missed out on all of the recent Starkiller runs, including the Black Friday one from yesterday. Of the available ones, does anyone have any input on what is the most accurate to the screen used prop? I’m looking for a static prop without electronics that is similar to the actual prop rather than an idealized one. Most of the hilts I see are made for installs, and I’m not looking for a toy/weapon this time. This is for a display piece to show what the actual prop was like. I hope this isn’t considered a WTB question…I’m looking for reviews…thanks!

DS2V2 by Anakin Starkiller & Halliwax is what I would search for.
If money were of no concern, I would search out one of PoopaPapaPalps lineage cast replicas.
Both are out of production, but each are the pinnacle of their respective niches.
You never know what may pop up in the junkyard during the holiday season.

PPP is doing a mini run:

Deprecated - MINI-RUN: Foundry Cast Lineage/"Hybrid" Kenobi Stunt Casts (V2/V3/ANH STUNT FX)

After finishing my Lineage and my Original '76 run, I'd thought I would open this up to see if there were any interest in any of these since I have a little time open. Like my other runs, depending on who's committed, turnaround time is about a month, or a month and a half. It wasn't until the...

I also believe DaveP might be doing a run in 2024. Just to give you some in production or upcoming run options.

I hate patting myself on the back, but if you're wanting the closest to the actual filming props, it would be mine far and above other options. It's made from a restored lineage pattern, sand cast in metal (alu or original alloy, depending on if I have enough) as per the originals, and machined to spec as close as I can get based on the surviving materials and what my own research turned up.

The only downside to them is I can't get them perfect to the original hilts. The process to make them as they originally were really make it impossible. However, the end results will be birthed under virtually the same conditions that the screen-used hilts came from.

Right here.

I also want to backpedal a little. You're new, (or at least haven't been around in a while) and want the most accurate thing but... There are important questions

1) Do you know what kind of accuracy you're thinking of?
2) Do you know the prop a bunch or just the general shape and look?
3) If not, why do you want accuracy without knowing what to look for?

I recommend learning about the prop first, and we (I) love answering questions! Any replica you get, other than things like korbanth/custom saber looking things, will be 'accurate' enough and be downright stunning and beautiful. Everyone here is an amazing maker, it doesn't matter if you pick up a roman steel v2, a PPP cast or an older starkiller run, we are miles from where we were 10 years ago and everything is pretty darned close to the average fan.

4) What will make you happy in a saber replica?

He’s a 20 year man, I trust him to know what he wants, just a little out of touch as to what’s available now a days.

No shame Tom, just don’t miss little details like that on a prop, or we’ll fillet you alive. Lol
