Beautiful work.
Dewy and Anakin Starkiller's Accurate Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 1 Lightsaber Design
- Thread starter Dewy
- Start date
Just occurred to me.. I wonder if qui gon’s saber is lighter. We see the metal in between the Obi wan grip rings.. and qui gons core just looks to be solid resin
Here are the masses from Solidworks. While I don't think the numbers are super accurate to reality, the relative difference between the two is probably reasonable.
Not sure why the QGJ looks so much longer than the Obi-Wan, just perspective I guess.
I think it's because the pommel is rounded and not flat. Bit of an illusion
Meant the Obi-Wan
. I think the rounded pommel compared to the relatively flatter pommel of the Qui-Gon makes it look shorter than it is.
In case anyone is wondering. I'm waiting to hear back on quotes from a couple of shops. Once I have the numbers, I'll start a sign-up thread in the Junkyard and start taking numbers. (This will be an old style run, where you commit to buy and then play the waiting game with all of us)
Then we move on to prototyping!... That's where the fun begins

In, in, in. Can’t wait.
We just want to make *really* sure we don’t miss outI like where he says "I'll start a signup" and people start treating this as the sign up
I mean the last Orbital Machining / Ace Rocket run became practically a holy grail of collectors items. Can’t be missing something that’s better than that, now can we
It means a lot to see so many people as passionate about this project as Anakin Starkiller and I are! I am really excited to see the results of the hours and hours and hours spent staring at reference photos, doing tedious perspective matching, and iterating the model again and again come to fruition! I know we still have a long road ahead with manufacturing, but I wanted to personally thank this community!
Yep. Just to be clear, this is not a sign-up thread here. Everyone will have to wait for the formal sign-up thread, which should come in a week or two.
I appreciate the enthusiasm though!!
