Well, it looks like they made an updated version of Luke's ROTJ saber for TFA...

I'm not seeing that, definitely seeing a recess around the center...nipple/post/whatever
Looks to be a hole, or set screw hole on the side of the nub, down inside the recess. The recess also looks a bit deeper than you have it above.
And I'm pretty sure that activation box should be the same length on both sides, it wouldn't make sense to be asymmetrical and longer on one end, i think that's just an illusion from the angle.

The emitter looks a little like what Parks used to use about 15 years ago...

For around $100? Definitely count me in!

I´m in if it´s around 100.
Yep. Me too. But with so many folk jumping on board his run, it decreases the number who would be in on my run, and consequently raises my costs. Last time I did a Luke Hero run, I had a bunch of people committed, I ordered the parts, put up my own money, then when it came time to pay up. A bunch of people jumped ship and signed up for Rylo's run because it was a bit cheaper leaving me holding the bag. I don't want to put myself in a similar situation, and I also don't want to compete with Nicksdad and screw up his run.

Hey, your 3D models are looking good so far.
What 3D software are you using? I'm guessing the one with the blue/gray parts is Solid Works? What is the software in post 77?

For me the ROTJ sabers are only stocking stuffers, display pieces that will go in the glass cabinet and stay there - not like the sabers from real parts, which i like to take out and hold them. So they are in a much lower "league" for me, also for the acceptable price.
But when i say i´m in, then i am. And that means i am ready to pay when asked for, no "sorry, i can´t afford it now due to med bills", or whatever.

Nice catch! And I agree about the activation box. It actually looks like it might have been put on the body slightly wonky? But if anyone gives a crap about my vote, I vote symmetrical. There's no reason it wouldn't be.
The other one is Netfabb. I exported the model as a mesh and then sliced it up so that I can see how it looks in different colors

I don't see the hole, and if there is one where you're seeing it, it would greatly increase the price of the prop, so I'm not going to add it to the model. I think you probably are right about the recess depth. As to the box. The one on my model is defiantly to small. But, while I'm confused by the asymmetry, it is what I'm seeing, so that's what I'd go with.

You don't think the control box is just twisted a little? Like, not in line with the body?

Although these hilts are similar, they represent completely different spots in a collection. It think those expressing interest in both are most likely willing to jump on both projects.
I know I expressed no interest earlier but as this project has been going forward and pricing discussed, I am rethinking my original position.
If you are afraid of committers backing out, might I suggest a non-refundable deposit.

Here's the resized box.

Sorry. I was talking about two different projects. MCM was asking me if I was planning on doing a Luke ROTJ hero run in the near future. I said that that decision would depend on if there's still interest after Nicksdad's run.
As to doing a TFA saber, yes, they're two different projects.

Pics aren't showing for me. But anyway, there's a Luke figure with a saber? Might offer some clues? Is this out yet? http://www.theforceawakensblog.com/spoiler-alert-the-force-awakens-luke-skywalker-action-figure/

This is a bummer to hear. I'm a huge fan of your particular brand of accuracy, Dan! Maybe do a Shared Stunt run instead? Eh? Eh?
IIRC that was a fan made Luke doll, not company made.
