FINAL STOCK BLOWOUT!:
So I have a few of these left, but only a VERY small amount of electronics kits left to install them.
So here's what I'm going to do.
I am going to offer the remainder to blow them out at two price groups. Static, and Kit.
1. The static prop, I will do all machine work and finish them out, but they will NOT have the light up feature. You're on your own to do that and figure it out. I will not be sourcing parts for that or pointing people in the right direction etc. BUT it will still come with a card and bag.
price will be $240 shipped in the USA
2. Kit. I will provide all of the metal parts as they come to me from Solo's Hold, plus fasteners, card, and bag. It will be up to you to join the parts, machine or file the joins, and make it your own. This is for the machinists or people who want to save money and have at it with files, etc.
Price will be $150.
I will make a video showing the process of machining for those who go this route.

NOTE: Tapatalk users... view this post in a real browser to see the ENTIRE post with payment info.
Here it is. Since making a one-off earlier this year and then subsequently finding what I believe to be the found part for the original prop’s light (with the help of a friend on theRPF)… and lots and lots of inquiries to do a run… here it is.
What it is:
A 1:1 as accurate as we can work it out to be replica of the lamp Yoda steals… I mean BARTERS…from Luke Skywalker on Dagobah.
There are very few pictures known of the original prop, and very little is publicly known about it. Recently I believe I found the original light that the prop was based on, as the light I found has an exact scale and physical look match to the screen used prop. You can see very clearly the top lens of the light, in the movie and compare that to the bulb shape, the shapes and scales of the internal plastics and outward dimensions, and I think I have a match.
Now based on that measurement we scaled the rest of the prop’s dimensions as best we can with the photos and film reference. It came out much smaller than previous amazing interpretations people have made of this prop.
There’s always room for error, but I’m pretty confident we got it right.
The replica will come completely assembled and ready to display, and will light up. The prototype picture below has a much cooler LED light than what the original lamp was, but the final product will have a more screen accurate warm white led.
We’re only making up to 100 of these worldwide, so if you’ve always wanted one… NOW is the time.
How much is it?: $325 shipped in the USA (International is plus shipping to your destination)
Like most things with machining, the more you make of something the more the cost to make it is spread out. This is the same. With this being nearly all CNC machined (It WILL have some hand fitting, assembly and final machining), the setup and machine time costs are higher with the fewer we do.
So pricing is going to be tiered and the price will reduce for everyone based on how many people commit with a paid deposit.
This run will ONLY happen if we meet the minimum of 30 deposits. If we don’t meet that, I will call the run off and refund all payments made. After that the price per unit drops per paid/people on the run reduces the price until we meet the limit of 100 lamps total. So tell your wife, tell your friends… get everyone in on it so we get these made for less.
The deposits are otherwise non-refundable if the run goes through to start. You can sell your spot to someone, but I will need to have a PM from the original signup name to confirm.
Please do NOT sign up unless you are ready to pay and order.

There’s NO NEED to send me a “payment sent” PM. I will do updates daily unless it’s a weekend to the list on theRPF forum. If you don’t see your name up there are the daily or Monday update… THEN send me a PM to make sure I got it.
Prices are SHIPPED in the USA and include PayPal fees. International friends… shipping won’t be included, but we will calculate a final balance for your location when your lamp is ready to ship.
1-30 will be $340
31-40: $325 (this is where pre-orders landed for the run price)
41-40: $315
51-50: $300
61-60: $285
71-70: $275
81-80: $265
91-100: $255
What’s included. An accurate 1:1 replica of Yoda’s lamp CNC and hand machined and fitted, fully assembled, with working LED light and a user replaceable battery. A numbered and signed COA. Shipping to you in the USA.
All materials have been machined and are in my hands, ready to build. The run is now fulfilled and names are added as I fulfill the overrun. At some point I will discontinue the list and fulfill as I get orders.
When your lamp is done and ready to go I will let you know that final payment is due. IF I get no reply or payment within 72 hours from your notice of completion I will mail yours to the next person and you get bumped to the back of the list. IF by the time the run completes and I STILL haven’t heard from you in any way, shape, or form, I will simply put your lamp up for sale and your deposit will not be refunded. By sending a deposit and signing up you agree to these terms.

Also, here is the original part. I was pointed to this by thd9791, as he spotted this on eBay and alerted me. It's a vintage Ever Ready pen torch (or flash light in the USA). I saw it and right away thought he was right. The timeline works, the place those were most common, so I bought it. When it came I saw immediately on getting it to work, that the light plays, reflects, and looks EXACTLY like the original prop's top. It also made perfect sense form the standpoint of being a form factor that's nearly identical to what the original prop was, as a pen flashlight. I started scaling the image based on known R2D2 claw scales, and it all matched up. Based on that I started measuring my hand made guess work scratch built one, and found that my dimensions were super close. So I did some adjustments and it brought us to where this run and prototype are in scale.
Finally, to compared the scale to the RPF run from a few years ago, you can see ours is much smaller based on the found pen light part.
Interestingly the proportions are very similar, except my reference doesn't show the tapers in the sections like the previous run interpretations. From what I can see in the images I have access to, the sections are just straight cuts. So we went that direction.
So there's the part/story and the prototype. Hope you guys like it!
Oh... production LEDs will be warm white to match the screen used reference.
They're ready!!!!
First batch of 10 are ready to go out the door. Payment request PMs have been sent to the first ten people. I only have this week, I might be able to get more ready, but if I don’t get a payment from you by Wednesday, I’ll move down the list until I get these out. No worries, you’ll still get yours, but I want to get them out while I can, so first come first served on payments I guess. I know some people don’t log in every day or check their subs.
This is the production dome… it mimics the internal bulbs shape of the original. Not seen until now. ^_^
And this is how your lamp will come. It will also come with an allen wrench (not shown) so you can replace the battery eventually. I don’t think you’ll need to for a long time unless you try to use it as a flash light all the time, or leave it on by accident.
