Vader doesn’t look too bad

Vader doesn’t look too bad

Yeah he looks good. Looks like they maybe went with the ROTS chest armor? And the belt boxes are in the correct orientation. Don't know what was up in the trailer.

I spy with my little eye "bunny ears"...... Probably just re-using a prop to practice with. But nonetheless cool to Hayden holding it.

Is it just me or is there a "Greeblie" on the wrong side of the clamp/switch box area? I've never seen that before

The way Obi-Wan's blade is animated on the final cover looks amazing. Plus Vader looks totally bad ass.

They digitize the hell out of these pictures. Doesn't anyone know how to utilize light anymore?

Notice I wasn't complimentary of the cast photo itself. I don't care for Annie's style of photography. I think her portraiture looks unflattering.

This is a prop discussion thread so I won't go on a rant about it lol but yeah, I never cared for her style either.

The wind vane looks much taller on Obi's saber than we've seen before. It's almost as big as the emitter (minus the flange).

That groove in the copper section is a nice step toward the ANH!

The neck of the fx saber looks larger in diameter too, understandably, though I wonder why the shorter blade? Perhaps for cutting sequences to prevent making contact?

definitely...different brass section, different emitter...almost saberforgesque (created a new word...lol) and the pommel cubes "appear" to look HHUUUGGGE!

They've all had a groove. At least the "hero" props.

Master Replicas for reference.

It is a "stunt" saber, so I imagine the neck has to beefed up. Particularly now they are using FX blades. You're right it does have Saberforge vibe.

Thanks, but that’s not new information to me. I just might know thing or two about sabers. Even own a few if you can believe it.

The dueling stunts with the weird necks bother the crap out of me. I guess I should have said it’s nice to see a more accurate stunt saber with ”just the groove”.
