It’s unfortunate, to say the least. China’s currently not in any global IP treaties, so businesses there don’t have any immediate legal repercussions from abusing someone else’s IP rights. Hopefully, that will change soon, ironically, because the country will want to protect its own IP rights. Right now, the country’s legal system is basically the Wild West. It’s just sad that, literally, anything cool or worthwhile has to be copied so blatantly, like what’s happening to AS by 89sabers or everyone else cheating to make money.

Crazy to just now be realizing some of these things.
Btw, have you seen this: Star Wars: The Lightsaber Collection Book | shopDisney
Wonder if it's worth having...
I've flipped through that book in my local Barnes and Noble. All the images are artist renderings and not very accurate for the film used hilts. Unless you're looking for lore, it's not worth the buy in my opinion. I really hope Brandon Alinger does a Star Wars Props: The Original Trilogy, as a sister volume to his incredible costume book!

That's disappointing, but thanks for saving me the $$$.
Not worth it to me, Seth’s book is where it’s at!
Long story short.. Disney sucks and doesn’t want anything to do with the OT.. that’s the facts

I keep hoping for a canon revision of the Jedi Path / Book Of Sith handbooks.
I like how I purchased a 2" x 1ft round stock thinking this would be a quick project. But no..... after looking through this whole thread, I'm still left confused about what dimensions to go with. I've seen 278, 278, 287 & 290.4mm thrown around.
Disney just canonized the v2 being modeled after Obi wan’s lightsaber
Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber (Green Blade)
After losing his father’s lightsaber on Cloud City, Luke Skywalker constructed a replacement with a green plasma blade, its hilt similar to that of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s weapon. Luke hid his lightsaber inside R2-D2’s dome during his mission to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, and surrendered the...

Luke's lightsaber being modeled after Obi-Wan had been a part of the lore for a long time. I remember that being said in the first Visual Dictionary.View attachment 1703496

And they've used an image of the V2 since 2016.
Ha! I never knew that!
So it's about we call this the hero prop!
But I'm afraid it is far too late for that and this lightsaber will be forever known in our community as the "version 2".

I would take what is seen on screen versus what is in the databank. I mean they use the Episode III "salt shaker" lightsaber for Obi-Wan's Episode II lightsaber.
The "official" Luke lightsaber is still the "Hero" version.
The v1 got the dedicated close up shot. That is the definition of a hero prop.
Whoa whoa whoa. Those are fighting words Mr Han, luke catching the v2 was a pretty good close up
