Darth Vader's Rogue One Lightsaber

Oy, why did they put rust on it...that only happened to the prop during years in storage. And certainly never on the midband, which is plastic.

The mid band on an authentic MPP is metal.

ah... memory tainted by repros

The MR ESB V1 has an accurate clamp build with a metal band....One repo that is not plastic, you can thank the v2 version of the fake style clamp and plastic mid band.

I'm not sure how it happened, Treadwell, but that's the prop, any way you slice it. You can see it clearly in the photos. I like the look - makes it appear battle worn.

I was able to secure a Galaxy's Edge Vader lightsaber recently. It doesn't have any of the 'rust' details and has a pristine look. So based off the available knowledge, I'm displaying this in my collection as the Vader's Rogue One lightsaber.

I still would like to hear from one of the prop dept/ prop master on what was used.

It was a genuine MPP camera flash that was built to resemble what the ESB prop looks like now with the screws in the grips etc.
