Luke’s TLJ metal master saber on display!!

[kevin926]

This is mine I did a few years back after the better images after TLJ. Mine is weathered of course

Medical reasons, I’m doing fine now.

Glad you're better. Missed you around here.

That was always the question nagging at me. What happened to that Episode 7 Luke?

I am willing to bet there is at least 2 metal masters..

One with the TFA tri ring location and one with the TLJ tri ring location

Full steam ahead for me buddy, I don’t care what the doctors say, I’m living my life

Screw the doctors--what do they know . I'm in the same boat with the doctors restraints. I'm 50 not 80. Time goes too fast for me to care anymore.

Is that saber looking like gray paint to anyone else? This is bugging me.

Grey paint?!

What do you mean the buttons are huge? Looks similar to the film?

It varies shot to shot. The big buttons match the the OG hero a bit (though is one piece and not quite as tall), which i never liked. But in this shot it looks like a single much smoother button (which I replicated for my idealized version):

Finally seth after all these years we have an answer! Isn’t it great?

I know, but it looks different at the grooves and the handle looks lighter for some reason

are you sure the saber isn’t cg here? The glare doesn’t look natural to me. Either way I gotta find me a creepy uncle (that’s what she said?!). I’m more curious if the original prop was actually an fx prop, cause I can’t think of another reason to make the emitter deeper like that. Though maybe it’s all about anamorphic squeeze and lens FoV (which I’m pretty sure is also why the props blades are soooooo long but seem awful in actual use (well and the weight)).

They always said the blades were ~1m which is 39.37”, but i for one find 36” awkward even with like 2” removed for the holder. It just doesn’t make sense to me cause like a katana, the maximum length is like 31” Usually they are like 28-31”.

The emitter also looks to short in this photo to me. But who knows. I‘m also curious how this one compares to the BOBF/Mando prop. To me it looks like they swapped emitters and the clocking changed again.

BoBF is a totally different design

The saber has been glammed up with VFX in this shot, it's unlikely to be a 1:1 of the prop they filmed with
