Oh I pre ordered the EFX version but I think the as/dewy is more accurate
I pre ordered the EFX version but I think the as/dewy is more accurateIt's nothing like the Static TPM run. It's based primarily on the Saltshaker although it has optional parts to make it more in line with the TPM version it is still a entirely different model of prop base and this version is FX capable unlike the TPM static run.
Few comments back you will see pictures side by side provided by a few members who own the Static TPM and the Saltshaker and written differences, it's tiny details in the modelling differences I.E cuts in most forms, placement of the Emitter cuts, Asymmentrical cuts, The Angled with steel fenderwasher and bolt sanded down Emitter VS SaltShaker Emitter. Dan has his overlay images and we have quite a bit of refernce in this thread it's all worth checking out if you haven't. The saber is still 100 percent worth getting.
I wouldn't hesitate but it's primarily Salt Shaker based which has different modelling, Yes you can use the provided parts to have it more in line with the TPM. But it's still not that wonderful TPM Static. Primarily cause this run was mainly for the lovers of the SaltShaker variant.
Some are dressing theirs as a AOTC variant based on the image of Ewan wearing it on his belt in a promotional image. While it's speculated that it's the TPM hero polished and redressed, The saltshaker dressed in that variation (If it is the TPM hero) still wouldn't be 100 percent correct to it as the saltshaker changes alot on modelling.
Plus also the fact it's a promotional image and on screen we've speculted it to be a chromed resin copy of the TPM hero then stunts etc. Then there's the Behind the scenes image that was posted at the start of this thread looking like the redressed TPM may have been used for production/filming and not just the Promotional image so it's all debatable It's great to have those options none the less as I find this is still a definitve replica regardless especially for people who missed the Static Run. I really wouldn't hesitate on this run especially with the low stock.
Exactly.
Perfect way to put it!

Sorry for going a little off topic, but now I’m wondering what it would take to get the static Dewy/AS TPM hero to match its appearance in AOTC. Anything more than a hell of a lot of polishing?
DJTedMoney, Dewy did resin casts of the TMP hero... if you got those chrome plated they are the AOTC version. The shrinkage from the molding and casting is why they are slightly different in size. A lot of people believe there was no Aluminum hero for AOTC. I'm not sure.

Right, I understand what was mostly seen on screen on AOTC was a chrome-plated resin cast. I’m asking about the saber we see in the promo shots that’s believed to be the redressed TPM hero.
It appears that the metal AOTC hero has some or most of the purple anodizing worn off of the rivet in the brass knob. And it looks like a new aluminum cap was machined to slip over or replace the steel emitter washer.
I believe Dewy and Dan mentioned the other thing might have been the fender washer it's in this thread in believe (Where the overlays started being posted) Where it's alluded the fender might have been replaced, I think it was protruding out less or more and due to the nature of them rusting also.
The comment is here only a few pages back but then there's the debate on the rivet losing its colour but from one Promotional shot it is hard to tell what else besides polish. I think Dan mentioned he was going with simply a polish. That Promotional image itself even in the best resolution posted doesn't give the greatest look.
That's why I see the Saltshaker in that config to be a great choice! Dewy done such a great job with his overlays showing the differences he could with that image as best as possible. But yeah I may be lucky enough to own the TPM static but I wish I had gotten Dewys Casts when he was doing them I'd totally go that route for the Chrome AOTC variant. Cough cough nudge nudge future run maybe Anakin Starkiller Dewy resin printed and plated or casted can never have enough OWK variants aha
Thinner sheet?
Two promo shots, actually.
And the emitter endcap that comes with this SS kit is specifically in the AOTC style, not TPM. The raised step below the "washer" is thicker on the AOTC, which lends credence to the idea that it was a cap made to replace the TPM washer.
The one from the DRESSING A GALAXY book, and this one. There are other photos from the same session, with just Ewan (as seen in the AOTC VISUAL DICTIONARY), but nothing high-res.
Ohh the group shot my bad aha I always just went by the full saber shot as opposed to two thirds of it covered I was just going through the thread (can't believe it's been since 2021) and was trying to find the photo of the still from a documentary of AOTC I'm trying to find that video on YouTube at the moment it's Ewan and Nick I believe sitting on the speeder from the chase scene where his holding what may be the hilt.
The problem with that is that the webisode is (as far as I know) only available in standard-def, having been released just on DVD and online, back in the day.
But you CAN glimpse the o-ring, pommel cube holes, etc. Seems likely that it's a (or THE) metal hero. The pommel cube holes are the big giveaway, since the resin castings necessarily omitted them during the molding process.
I have a sneaking suspicion that, even if the metal AOTC hero seen in the photos is a redressed TPM hero, that they still produced other/backup metal heroes, which--with tweaks--served as the basis for the ROTS saltshaker.
That, or the TPM/AOTC hero went missing after the second film, and so they machined a duplicate--with tweaks--to present to Lucas for use in ROTS, before he decided to skip it and go with the MK1-inspired design.
