Hard to believe it's been almost 3 years since I first started this thread. Now that the final product is in hand, I want to thank everyone who took part in this run! In particular I want to thank BRRogers, during the design phase he gave us some feedback related to the intricacies of the pommel that really helped out.
I of course also want to express my extreme gratitude to Anakin Starkiller for all of his hard work. This project was a real struggle, and at times fabrication obstacles seemed seriously insurmountable. Starkiller's pursuit of accuracy, knowledge of fabrication methods, and relationship with suppliers are what made this run possible. I am so incredibly happy with how these sabers turned out. Short of having the hero prop in my hands for reference, I really don't know how we could get any more accurate.
