Beauty!!! I feel so lucky to have this before expected. I have managed to assemble it and now it's ready to be painted tomorrow. Sadly the original Graflex clamp and lever are waiting in the U.S., and there are still three and a half weeks left to move there. I was deciding on which one to keep, whether the MR or the Starkiller. After holding both and comparing them with the reference pics, Starkiller is the winner. So I will let the MR go soon.
I specially like two things about the Starkiller:
- The weight. It has the weight a lightsaber is supposed to have. "A light weapon", not those heavy solid things. Yet it is very solid.
- The sound it makes when you grab it. That sound of metal you hear in the movie, the same you hear when you grab this thing since the pommel and the emitter are separate pieces. None of the previous solid versions did that!
Dan has done an excellent work here. Congrats pal! And thank you for giving us all the chance for having this.
