Hi all. I've been collecting screen used prequel lightsabers since the films came out. There are a ton of legit prequel pieces in private hands. There are also a ton that look "right" that have zero provenance and no way to ever know. There are also quite a few that do not look right, and most...

I felt great when I bought the piece and feel even better now being able to place this piece on camera. I own an original Ghostbusters 2 ghost trap that can be screen-matched! I was even lucky enough to have the amazing team at Propstore get the electronics working again. The repair work to the...

I’m just seeing this post but I actually am that props owner and had no clue about matching it up. Very excited to take a much closer look having a lead on a screen match! Thanks so much for sharing this! Regards, Troika

Happy to help if I can. I have handled and own quite a few screen used prequel sabers from all three films. As to how many were made - for Attack of the Clones the answer is A LOT. A lot of stunt bladed sabers like this we’re created. I’m only aware of a handful of Ep.2 Obi-Wans like this in...

A the owner of the collection offered at Juliens earlier this month, I wanted to chime in. Kit is correct in that Peter Jackson's production company, Wingnut has an official stance that there is nothing screen used in private hands. Obviously this is not the case as there are a great deal of...

Yeah, I definitely saw that auction. I have handled 3 different Qui-Gon sabers and I currently still own one with blade. From what I could tell, it looked good. The hilt was very, very clean, but that doesnt always mean it wasn't used. That said, there were a lot of finished hilts that weren't...

Hi, I've owned a number of screen used sabers from all three films and researched these props extensively. Still have a couple sabers and a pair of my old ones that I sold through Profiles are now back in their upcoming auction. The sabers and blades were made the same for Ep.1 & 2. Threaded...

Aside from this board, this auction has been discussed elsewhere. I don't think outing this auction here is going to affect the bidding. The price will go high, but not incredibly high as despite this coming from Elstree, there are still some question marks, and ultimately eBay is not the...

I believe the cased ones are the machined "trick" sabers that they have that were used for the deleted saber creation scene. I think he listed those photos to show what the custom case will look like.

That is true, both Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis were gifted rings by Peter Jackson when they wrapped shooting. Elijah was given his first and I remember reading a hilarious (but apparently true article) talking about how upset Wood was when he heard PJ gave Serkis a ring also after he finished...

If anyone has contact info for her or her husband Rick I'd appreciate a PM as I have been wanting to contact them for the last couple years and my old info isn't current. (Or they're just not responding..?) As far as I know, the suit is not viewable, their collection is private but certainly...

That's rough news for the owner of Bies painted Vader as if I remember it went for over $70,000. Yikes. I had thought it was original and originally Lucasfilm either auctioned it for charity or gave it way for some charity something or other and at the time they had Bies "touch it up," then...

There is a complete suit that can be seen at ToysRGus both in Sansweets collection as well as one owned by a collector named Amy White. I was told that the suit Amy White has is made up from various suits and that one or two parts on it are replica to complete it. Jason Joiner (Kurtz Archive)...

Not really, but....email sent. :rolleyes

Was it you I saw on a TV program here in the UK (something like antiques roadshow - but probably not that exact program) showing that off a while back? I remember catching it completely by accident and them saying that they'd bought it from someone in the US who'd won it for a fairly large...
