I have a separate thread running for my video interviews with fellow RPF'ers, but I wanted to give this particular entry special attention as it focuses on a prop that is in my opinion at the core of what the RPF is all about.
The Obi-Wan ANH saber.
The reason I think it's such an important pieces is two fold.
First, it shows how far a prop can come during the life of the forum. When I first started coming here, the only thing anyone knew was that it had a graflex clamp on it, and that there was a motorcycle grip involved. These were the "facts" at the time. lol.
Since then, the ENTIRE saber has been identified, and people have even been dedicated enough to build an entire saber from the correct found parts.
Second, it shows how far the forum and it's members have come in producing immensely high quality parts and products for us. Once the parts were identified and measured, members cranked out precision parts that allowed users to build near-perfect replicas of what was seen on screen. ZERO guesswork went into these.
I find that just amazing, and I'm so thrilled to have had a chance not only to see E-Wan's saber, but also to film it and discuss it with him.
Please take a few minutes to check out this video and let me know what you think. In my mind, this video is PERFECTLY targeted toward the RPF, and I hope you'll enjoy it.
