2022 Kenobi Series Lightsaber Screen Caps SPOILERS

Also It’s kind of hard to see but another tell is that both ends of the control box are blocked so you can’t see under the faux “clamp”, classic Master Replicas!

From what I have actually handled after owning the MR EP3 OWK, the Roman's Inception Elite is a good alternative. I have heard that the 89Sabers OWK version is based directly off the MR saber although I have never held it. I personally stay away from 89Sabers though (the whole recast thing). I did hear that KR makes a great ECO version.
Wait 89sabers recasts?

Yeah, and very recently from runs here from some good guys. It's put a lot on edge in terms of sharing resources lately. As far as I know, 89's just a seller that gets stuff from China (where many of these suppliers get their wares) and manufacturers that are hired out from here to produce parts just use the info we send over and sell the stuff to those willing to buy it and sell it through their own sites, regardless if it was meant to or not. Then folks just sell it regardless if it was meant to or not, and at the expense of effort and work done by others here.

**** I had no idea. I always thought 89 was a saber designer like one replicas or something and sold their stuff through the likes of Korbanth and KR. Do we know which ones he recast? I have his MPP 2.5 and always figured I would pick up his obi-wan's but I wouldn't want to support recasts
 
Recasting is always situational: if you didn't know, you didn't know. But now you do know. I know of works by Anakin Starkiller and my boy BRRogers along with his partners were among the products lately, their Leia and Luke hilts respectively, I believe. If you want to know more, you should ask them, but I don't want to derail this thread.
 
In the fight scene in Ep3, pay close attention to the saber lockups. In the first one or two, you'll see a thin-neck stunt saber. Then in one shot, a thicker neck LOOONG hilt, which Ewan is holding in a reverse grip. I modeled the saber using some private reference, it looks like this:

I've been sitting on this model for quite a while. I made some 3D prints to test it out in person, it's very odd. Not sure if anyone would actually want this in person, probably made at Ewan's request to have more area to hold? Even the pommel is stretched out.
It looks like this version showed up a lot in episode 4. The way he swings the saber, very Samurai like, I really enjoy how he cuts with it like a katana.

Here's a little replica I whipped up. The emitter is just a Roman's metal one, although I believe the original prop I saw had a resin emitter. There were also a couple more set screws to keep things together on the neck and windvane parts, but otherwise this mockup is pretty close. Just something I banged together on a slow day :)

The out of focus background makes it look like CG lit with an HDRI. :lol:

Interesting. Weird. But interesting
 
How very "sequel" to just put a gold rectangle where the clamp box would be lol

I really like this. It reminds me of a Tachi
 
are these those Bulgin LEDs that we thought were from the phantom menace but were wrong?
