Luke ROTJ V2 lightsaber

[thd9791]

Solos Hold uploaded a video to Youtube with his new V2 saber.

I noticed the nipple was actually a structure inside the emitter and the emitter plate slips over it. Leaving a gap. Do folks think this was an FX decision or have we been thinking (specifically) V2 nipples wrong this whole time?

I don't believe this was an fx decision as the nipple is intended to be paired with the static emitter so Scott must've seen that gap detail when he held the actual prop.

 

[Halliwax]

the nipple was a FX decision, when assembled it looks exactly like the prop is today

Hmm, I was wondering if this was how the gap around the nipple was really done, and the emitter plate literally being a plate. I suppose that a solid emitter and a pieced emitter would have the same deep nipple though and leave a gap..

I'm hoping to explore both methods in my saber experiments.

PPP do these close ups help ?

Straight close up.

With both contrast & light boosted quite a bit.

Option called curves that allows each part of the colour/tone distribution curve to be enhanced/suppressed. I just fiddled to get the most distinct contrast for the alleged knob (magenta bit).

As I could isolate something from the hilt body means there's something to isolate but I know it's not ideal & certainly not 100% conclusive.

Excellent, Scott! Watching your video makes me want one of those V2s.

 

[canister]

Fantastic work, so tempted.

Is the circular machining mark on the pommel of the real prop raised or recessed?
From what I can tell, Solo's Hold V2 does not come with this machine mark

 

[Trooper_trent]

I believe that spot is much less pronounced in real life and isn't really raised or recessed. It's just where the bit stopped. I think it's one of those things that if the light hits it just right, it's visible, but not as big of a deal as what people have replicated. Probably want to ask scottjua .

That's what I was thinking as well.
I also don't think it'll be difficult to add-in the mark to SH V2

 

[Halliwax]

3/8-16 bolt, some heat, and a hammer and you got yourself a milling mark

Halliwax Can you do a tutorial of putting in a milling mark when doing a vid review of SHV2?
