Obi-Wan's Revenge of the Sith lightsaber. How many variations are there?

Can we all 100% agree that we need a replica of this prop?

But yeah IMO it looks all metal.

I would absolutely love one

I have this one all drawn up already. But, what are the grenade and booster made out of? Is it anodized/painted/powder-coated aluminum or machined pom/delrin or cast resin?

PropStore had some production materials for sale a while back that listed the proposed material for each section of the Anakin, Vader, and Dooku hilts. I’m sure there was an Obi-wan version, but I’ve never seen it.

That Vader shroud and clamp were marked as 1 copy machined delrin and then 3 cast in polyurethane. I would assume the kenobi grip and booster were similar.

Well if this display hero had a Delrin machined grip and booster, I could definitely do it. Don't know if this steps on the toes of Bryan's run (I know that his design is for a different version of the saber). Maybe it would be better for the two not to compete. Or maybe, since they're two separate versions of the same prop, we could do comparisons of the two models, nail down all the discrepancies between them, and produce two separate runs that complement each other.

This is a rhetorical question, but one wonders how just many variants we need after the excellent General MacGregor and the various other releases from the likes of Roman, Korbanth, etc.

The Starkiller plate is always full of projects, that's for darn sure!


This also raises the usual question about which version represents the "real" saber. It starts getting pretty abstract, once you discover all of these variants, each with their own quirks.

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

It is the nature of the ROTS props. They made soooo many of them!

Yep.

All of them

Then again when he's seen with the lightsaber on his belt he's using the brass/copper variant so you could say that one is the "Hero"
