Rogue One - Lyra Erso Blaster

[AnthonyD2199]

I haven't seen much reference or fan makes of this Blaster from Rogue One, It's the Blaster that Lyra has in the Opening Scene, it's never really seen clearly but thanks to Phil Szostak who posted Concept Art of it on Twitter it's an Oversized version of the EC-17 Blaster used by Scout Troopers in ROTJ. looking at screencaps it looks like it was essentially unchanged from concept to prop except for the front barrel and maybe the part where the handguard connects to the main body.

Is there anyone who has made this or plans to in the future?

That concept art is great, thanks for posting it!

This blaster was also used in Solo by Val and the Patrol Troopers, but there’s barely any info on it. The only clear photo I’ve seen is from the databank entry in the last post here:

Val & Lyra Erso's Scout Blaster? (Rogue One & Solo ASWS)

Have any behind-the-scenes photos of Lyra Erso's blaster surfaced? It looks to be a larger scale version of the ROTJ biker scout blasters - note how all four fingers fit in the handguard, versus the ROTJ where this would be very difficult if not impossible, even for a smaller hand. I can't tell...

Here are the best images I could find and close ups of pictures already found.

I mean, it kinda looks like the same scale as the OG Kenner version, but with better grip frame. I almost wonder if the prop started as a scan of the toy and was modded along the way.

It may have served as some inspiration, the shapes aren't that complex I don't think it'd be hard to replicate the main problem is that there's just no good reference for the left side of the blaster!, the scope may be good for getting the scale.

The nozzle/emitter/barrel looks like a nerf to my eye. Maybe not quite as wide, and I don’t know if it was released before or after the movie

The nerf is certainly closer to this version than it is the the scout blaster
