Luke Skywalker’s Return of the Jedi lightsabers (a primer)

[LOM]

I'm glad that you're still going to update this thread, it comes up in a lot of searches, so it's definitely worth keeping up to date!

Regarding the resin Hero - I don't think there's much more than what is in the folder I posted awhile back. I spent a lot of time looking for those because I was trying to figure out how to paint my casting - and I left it raw in the end lol. There might be an RPFer or two that has some locked away from the exhibition perhaps. Nor are there anymore for the R2 Resin than the shots we got from the movie, the WIRED pic...

Well I just remembered this one actually:

From here:

For the Yuma I've got:

(I know there are a few other decent shots of it - unfortunately I saved them with the photobucket watermarks and I can't find 'em now *facepalm*)

I'll attach some of the better BTS images (from all 3) I've got too. At this point I have probably a couple hundred pics saved and loosely organized. It's a mix between RPF and I believe mostly from off site searches so I couldn't properly give credits either... (So PM me to remove and/or credit if it is yours please) I've got loads more ANH and RotJ BTS images, mostly from a distance though so I'm not sure how useful those would be in a visual reference like this.

Hope everyone's having a great Christmas/holiday time!

-Some of these images are from the Rinzler books I believe.

Those are great! Thank you very much for the help. I’ll try to keep the first post concise, adding the pics with the most impact.

I’m away from my computer for Xmas, but will hook you up when I get home.

 

[scarf man]

I’m knackered, just spent a few hours editing and revising the first post, re-uploading all the pics, adding links, etc.. I’ll work on the second post after the holiday. Cheers SethS, thanks for responding.

Bump for a friend.

Bump for a friend.

no complaints here

I’m looking for pics of the V3/ shared stunt circa filming of ANH, barge climbing saber pics and discussion, and anything else that you all think may add clarity to the first post.
thanks

I think the wired cast is an R2 firing stunt. Has no nipple. Barge climbing saber does somehow lol

Yeah I agree that there is a discrepancy, that’s why I had hoped that further discussion would give us some kind of consensus.
Can the Wired picture be matched to the table picture saber? If so, I’ll move the wired picture to the R2 saber section.

HMMM

Ive only been able to see the graflex clamp in the big photo, seeing the clamp insert (card or bubbles) or any of the countersunk holes in the clamp might help

 

[scarf man]

Bump for no particular reason.

 

[scarf man]

I changed the title of this thread to reflect what it’s become.
Thanks again to everyone who helped and enjoyed the thread thus far.

 

[scarf man]

Wistful bump.

 

[scarf man]

New and improved nothing new for 2023 bump!

 

[thd9791]

Yeah, nothing really is new, crap hahaha

When it comes to this saber as of 2023 I'm still waiting on reference of the Luke ROTJ cast R2D2 saber. I have this theory that the clamp came from the Luke/Vader stunt saber and only have very blurry proof.
