    Luke lightsaber on display at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not… anyone know anything?

    I remember the images were floating around here for some time; I believe it was a Gary Kurtz saber (Which basically means that from images thus far; is not screen used)

    Accident on the set of Rust.

    State v. Weber State v. Johnston R v. Lamb R v. Ball In more serious issues; more precedents have darker histories that aren't disclosed to the general public because it involves children under the age of 16. Thus why there is an emphasis on modern gun safety to drill into kids that you...

    Is this graflex real or fake

    This screams parks gen 1 to me... Even so, finding a 1st gen park is a neat find on its own.

    Possible original trilogy chip board casting

    The size of those PCB boards remind me of those tall wooden arcade games and sound mixers. Those boards were massive. Now that I think about it, those "Coin slots" on R2-D2 and Darth vader look like those volume slider pcb shrouds on sound mixers. Helps that alot of the aforementioned have...

    No worries! The theatrical cut isn't one take, it's multiple, sometimes he touches it, sometimes he doesn't. We don't know in which order which shot was taken and which one was chosen for the theatrical release. I was simply speculating if it did break in filming, that would explain guiness...

    Having delt with cast aluminium aswell in tubing specific applications, the aluminium cools down in rings as it is poured from my understanding which creates varying hardness across the entire tube, probably why it is split in a ring like area, as for Brandons comment, Im confused by the...

    I don't think we're cherry-picking information, most of us are in agreement... I think there's just some who are in denial. Dave is currently speaking to people involved in the prop, we can't brush that aside. In my over decade witnessing/lurking of TheRPF, I've noticed that people put...

    I just noticed another thing; I've noticed some forums members get upset at the uneven angles of the grenade section on some replicas, but I don't recall the "wooden buck" ever being machined perfectly in the grenade sections. Now that you mention the seam line in the neck part, it's quite...

    Indiana Jones 5 officially announced

    I'm all good, as long as he uses his revolver or wits more than his fists. I'm not going to believe a late 70's Indiana Jones packing a punch that can knock people out :lol:

    It would explain the crooked cut line in the v3's neck. If a saw was used to cut it, a much more visible cut line would show as the thickness of the saw would have some effect. It wouldn't have made any sense for the emitter to be separated in the first place unless during machining it snapped...

    I really can't be bothered doing the F=ma formula but essentially: The hilt is solid thus has little elastic energy (Edited to be more specific) The dueling rods flex therefore can withstand heaps of kinetic energy. (More elastic) When a shaft is inserted into the blade, most of the kinetic...

    I feel like we're going backwards. All the oldman stuff- we do young. The young stuff, we do old.

    Why do you have a 351 Windsor camshaft, and why would you break it you monster :lol:

    The only way to test this theory... Is by quite literally, breaking a cast aluminium lightsaber... If only we had a member on here who would do blasphemy...

    Could you elaborate who you're referring to? *Edit* Thanks
