Exactly.
That saber is a Kobold fused with the top of a Graflex (no clamp or grips).
I think resin or rubber would have been smart, but it looks very reflective (could be chrome tape).
Vader's TRUE ROTJ saber (re-examined)!!

Actually, I think a better explination is that that's the end that just happened to be facing the catwalk when the sparks went off, so that's the end that they had to rotoscope the blade into.
Also, it makes sense that they would have used an old beat up modified Graflex to throw into steel pipes instead of the Hero saber.

Doesn't that shot above of Anderson and ...jeez, I forget his name...Peter Diamond? But that doesn't that show what's his name wielding what looks like the Obi-ANH stunt? And, if so, isn't it thought that the saber (V2) sitting on the arm of the Emperor's throne, behind them, was made from the Obi-ANH stunt? Was there more than one Obi-ANH stunt? I'm so confused.

Interesting photo. At first glance it looks like the saber Bob Anderson is holding has some sort of blunt ended emitter like I've never seen before... but could it be that the angled emitter is "facing" the camera, and we're catching a reflection off of the inside of it?

There are at least 2 Obi ANH stunts that we know about.
1. The "shared stunt" which Luke also uses in ROTJ (probably the one Peter Diamond is holding)
2. The Luke ROTJ V2 which is the one sitting on the throne. It was formerly a bladed Obi stunt in ANH.

Interesting finds. Thanks for sharing.
Probably worth posting this again.

Does anyone have a better resolution/larger version of this pic?
thanks!
Here is detail from a screen grab from a HD broadcast of ROTJ, the original image seen below. If that is not an MPP shroud, then I don't know what it is. Notice the mounting hole for the flash reflector and the curved outline near it - neither the Barbican, the "Severed hand saber" nor the "Vader ROTJ" saber have these features.
For me this one definitely looks like a MPP,shape of the shroud,with rounded corners and holes for reflector,and th D ring placement..
Maybe the weel-know "ROTJ" saber that was pictured on the forum,the one with colored wires,and the exactra board under glazed bubbles?
It looks similar but is not the one. Here is a small pic of the actual saber/hand from the rotj as well as a screen cap of it.
And here definitely a graflex for me.
proof that there was several different sabers,once again...
good eyes buddy!
