Hello,

Sorry if this has been covered but I'm finally ready to finish my OBI saber and I can't seem to find a definitive photo on how many washers there are.

The top Transistor seems to be missing it's washer in some shots.

Or is it just me???

Either way is accurate depending on which version you want to make.

During much of production (i.e. in Tunisia as seen in the top photo in Scarf's post), 2 washers.

After much abuse (including one documented drop to the ground in Tunisia), by the end of filming (i.e. as seen in screen caps of when the saber is dropped on Obi's cloak), 1 washer, as seen in the 2nd photo in Scarf's post, which is presumed to have been taken as documentation after filming.

There was possibly more than one prop as well, in which case there is no evidence of the 'Chronicles' saber (the one in the 2nd picture) as having ever had two washers. The saber in the first picture has some anomalies vs. the 'Chronicles' saber. Some argue that it may simply have been rebuilt after being damaged.

Thanks guys!

I'm going to go with 2. It looks like that is how it was intended before the "battle damage"
