Wait 89sabers recasts?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?
**** 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 recastsYeah, 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.
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.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.
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 dayIt looks like this version showed up a lot in episode 4.

I just find it funny they extended the clamp section to double the correct length, but did not extend the gold strip with itHow very "sequel" to just put a gold rectangle where the clamp box would be lol
I really like this. It reminds me of a TachiHere'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.

Very much, I couldn't take my eyes off of them during those scenes hahaAnyone else bummed we didn't get any good shots of captured Lightsabers in the fortress?
Where was that?!?! I must have missed it. Please enlightenAnyone else bummed we didn't get any good shots of captured Lightsabers in the fortress?
In the Inquisitor's Chambers, there's a red, lighted shelf that goes all around the room. There are lots of lightsabers that surround the room, kinda like trophies.Where was that?!?! I must have missed it. Please enlighten
Pretty sure that’s cg and not actual LEDs. At least how I felt when I saw it.are these those Bulgin LEDs that we thought were from the phantom menace but were wrong?
