Hey guys,

This last semester has been a killer. But, it's about to wrap. January will be a big month. I will be doing a run of Maul sabers, followed by Luke hero ROTJ, then Obi-wan TPM. The sign ups will come quickly starting around X-mas.

 

[juajn7fernandez]

are there any updates to the Hero or exactly as it's last run?

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

A couple small tweeks. The emitter diameter will change. That's one mistake I know. But, I also plan to run it through the wannawanga scaling machine to make sure everything is dead on. We have a bunch more references compared to 2007

So excited for this

You probably have a LOT more reference than I do, but let me know if I could be of any assistance, I have a pull from that run done over ten years ago where the rear half of the control box sank a little. So, 2nd Gen, technically?

Hi Dan,

Have you decided if it will be an FX hilt or a solid stunt? Thanks.

Thanks for the update Dan! I'll be looking out for the sign ups.

I've been waiting on the Hero run, great to know it's getting close. Didn't know you were doing a Maul and Obi TPM... not sure I can resist those.

Double post, sorry. Just read through the thread. Was it confirmed if this was an fx run or static?

I'm an fx man myself but agree with Halliwax's comments a while back about wanting an accurate uneven ringed hilt with an unsightly blade plug line being an odd choice. Maybe a work around like RPK V2 swappable emitter for a solid emitter or a dueling one for best of both worlds. Although there are now other options out there now for an uneven FX hero.

No FX!! We got a ton of Fx options, I prey this doesn’t have a chopper neck either

I agree. Plus FX functionality would probably add to the production cost. I’d like this to be as close to the prop as possible.

You and me are in the same boat! I personally would love something different and see a control box with “smooth sides” instead of the cave scene control box...

Why n

Why not have options for both?

 

[teecrooz]

Because making a hero an FX would make it less accurate.

Of all the sabers, Luke's ROTJ Yuma/Hero sabers were distinctly lathed metal and it would be really great to have that heft and accuracy

Second that, solid as a rock!

I meant options for both control boxes—cave and Vader close-up.

Alright... only asking lol. Ha yeah I was thinking about it last night, a nice weighty hilt would be really cool.
