The Prop Den just uploaded a bunch of pictures onto their Facebook page and I noticed the V2 in this shot... what do you guys think the holes are? Where the cone known and mystery chunk normally go? Why would they have been removed?

I believe that saber is actually the shared stunt/V3. No nipple on the emitter and the holes on the booster and pommel don't quite line up with the V2. However, to answer your question, those holes do correspond with the cone knob and mystery chunk on the V2. EDIT: the one home on the booster looks like a set screw. Man, I hate using a phone for internetting.
that's NOT the V2
V3 then? I stand corrected...

Lol. Scottjua I assume you're not a fan of the V3.

I believe the hero is Lucas' first attempt at a kind of "Special Editions" move. It appears that he went back after the fact and inserted a 'clean' look on top of what had already been filmed. It's probably just whoever was nearby at the time hoping into a Vader suit and holding the new shiny for that shot.when i was researching for my first v2 i noticed the saber changes through out the bridge scene. the imperial officer that hands vader the saber "he was armed only with this" hands him the V2
they walk down the bridge, luke pleads to vader, vader looks at the V2
V2 then changes in to the "Hero"
the picture you posted i believe is a different angle from this scene. i have seen other pictures with vader holding the V3 upside down shaking it at luke "he is your new master". that looks like its a different angle from this scene below. of course lukes shoulder is in the way...
then when they bring luke up to the shuttle the V2 is back in Vader's left hand

Like all the other special editions add ins that came later: it seems to cause as many problems as it solves.
