Luke's Lightsaber Mando series finale.

[James Kenobi 1138]

Five years and Luke hasn't gotten his hand fixed yet?

He never gets his hand fixed, that’s why it’s a bare-metal robot hand in TROS.

2 fun facts:

1) I guess they didn’t want to pay to CGI Luke’s robot hand in TROS because he never uses his right hand and you never actually see his right hand (he keeps it down between his robes and cloak the entire time).

2) Mark Hamill is actually left handed, so it makes sense that he catches his lightsaber and raises his x-wing with his left hand.

God I love the RPF!!!

Agreed if it's a current prop it's been modified. Do we have a good shot of the TROS stunt to compare? SethS that's what I'm hoping is that they focus on Luke for part of episode 16 for the Gallery. Guess we'll find out then unless we get higher res shots before then. It'll still be fun to discuss until then.

But if Anakin was restored as a Force ghost, shouldn't Luke get his hand back? Hahahaha...

And you're right, it's robotic in the TFA flashback. Post Jedi it's at least still partly fleshy. Maybe he kept it the way it was as that constant reminder of the mistakes his father made?

And you KNOW those jerks will wait until the last episode to do it!

 

[Goodie2325]

Sadly that's exactly right. We'll all be waiting for the final episode to air to hopefully get a peek at the hilt.

 

[Halliwax]

I have no info this go around either... one can only pray we get a good shot

 

[Sundowner]

Three pages already and it officially has a name?! I’m shocked there isn’t already an interest list at this speed!

This has always bothered the hell out of me in any EU stuff where he's still kept his hand as it was in RotJ. Did everyone forget it was covered in a Terminator-like flesh that registered pain like it was his real hand? Keeping it would be utter misery; it would never heal and it would be like having a permanent open wound. I imagine that if you stripped it off it would be like peeling flesh off your own hand down to the bone.

Wouldn't the scar where the prosthesis on his wrist or a patch on the back of his hand be a reminder enough of what he's been through rather than a gaping, perpetual gangrenous flesh wound?

 

[Joek3rr]

Oh yes a new version of Luke's lightsaber!

 

[Joek3rr]

The emitter seems really long, reminds me of the Creepy Uncle in that aspect.

here we can see if it was a off the shelf replica, this is where the control box would mount. no holes there... hmmmm

Fill em up!

 

[Mr Mold Maker]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that the Gallery thing for season 2 is going to be a one hour event thing. Not multiple episodes like the first one. I don’t have high hopes they’ll get into the nitty gritty with the costumes and props.

We may have to just wait for the Visual Dictionary and hope it’s in there.

Def. looks Elstree inspired... early analysis (and obvious diversions) indicates the Mando production made it ala-cart via referencing the available online digital assets... as it is slightly differently detailed.

to me it looks like
1. A control box-less practical lighting FX stunt combat hilt with blade and CU depth emitter ala the prequel stunts

2. Followed by an (lucky for the recently re-sold Norank) Elstree inspired static belt-hanger. Their late-game pieces might have a legitimate reason to be desirable now due to their heavy influence.

Suffice to say between grenade ring sizing, control box variance, emitter cup depth, and tri ring location I don’t think it’s an actual Norank but a uniquely inspired MandoLukian saber.

I actually really did forget about that. Oof. Now I’m thinking about how painful that would be.

So glad to see Luke get to be a bada$$ with the green lightsaber again!!! That's what was missing from the sequel trilogy...

Which is exactly why they did it. The same way CW and Rebels “fixed” the PT, these post ROTJ shows will give us what we actually wanted out of the ST. Bad-ass Luke was the top of that list for most everyone.

Couldn't agree more! This was Favreau and Filoni's way of giving us a Luke Skywalker scene after ROTJ that we've all been wanting to see. I love how these two are such fans of the franchise and it shows.

Seems spot on. Belt hanger shares many of the features seen in these photos of the Norank shared a while ago here by steven giunta

Control box seems especially inspired by this one, down to the more central placement of the switches.

Here are photos posted a few years ago,someone was selling a production made saber made by Norank. To me it looks like an early replica,some parts look good but others like the fat rings just don’t seem correct.
