Darth Maul lightsaber versions.

[parfaitelumiere]

Hi Folks, I was wondering who made what regarding Darth maul lightsabers…
of course, the original one, one of them...




The accurate duelling hero version EFX:




The MR LE:



And fx version:



The Romans Empire version:



This picture is the one made by Darthwhitey, actually sellin his romans maul saber in junkyard.

The Korbanth:



I saw another made by RPF member Sock2K here:

But...what else?
What was the best produced, and best compromise between accuracy and full metal costruction?!

There is a weathered metal version on eBay now, I think it's a Roman's. That one looks not as idealized as the MR, but still too shiny on my perspective. I've owned the MR, seen the FX MR, and now I bought the eFX. Of all, eFX is by far the best. Very accurate to the movie prop. It's worth the chance to get it.

I know that ozwepaie from Australia makes some stunning Darth Maul sabers ... I hope to one day be able to order one from him I might have some pictures ... somewhere.

The one on eBay is jedi135's (Tim Pienta - sp?) I think that seller is actually Tim.

Just a clarification, Oz is here in the US, not from Australia. And yes, both his full Maul staff and his BD Maul are OUTSTANDING, I own more than a few Oz Sabers and all of them are fantastic pieces of art

Orbital Machining made a 99% accurate size one too. All FX version of course. Comparing to the EFX, the only difference was a slight difference in the emitter ribs gaps. Very slight.

Didn't Darth Hez make one also?

Yes, but... Darth Hez (Paul) worked together with Jedi135 (Tim) on the Maul back around 2000/2001? So I guess it would be classified a Jedi135/Darth Hez Maul.

I remember seeing an early Kropserkel Maul saber, too. The fins were very inaccurate, but this was early 2000s.

Re: Dart Maul lightsaber versions.

you have some pics of these versions, would be interesting to see photos of them, to get better appreciation.

Ok so I found the OZ one:



And the orbital one:

the one ob blue background is a oz saber.

Actually no metal replica would have correct accurate grey buttons.

Question, what is the kind of small knob or button we cas see near the led cone?
Looks like a small allen bolt with strange head and larger washer, but it's difficult to make idea because all original props are cast resin.

Here is what I saw about this saber details.

About replicas, some use a alen bolt near the led cone, other (orbital machining) made a special profile piece instead of.
After looking at original prop photosand thinking about how they did for red and grey button, I think it's a bolt, with large washer.

I know I'm bumping an old thread, but wow! I've never seen this image showing the sparking/splitting gag lightsaber so clearly. Do you recall where you found it?

There are a couple of frames in TPM right before Obi-wan slices it that show that rectangular lever very clearly. Was this meant to trigger the squib or the lightsaber half release?

I think this is really cool too! I'm trying to scan the image for springs or levers. I wonder if the charge went in the hole?
