PIH Selling Another "Original" Luke ANH Hilt

How embarrassing—and deservedly so.
I doubt it.. he found his little loop hole to make money and I can guarantee he does this again next year.. hence way he said he has 5 or so...
If someone started a Facebook campaign to expose this dude then maybe he would think twice about doing this again..
..This may be a great excuse for Halliwax to finally sign up with Facebook...

Crazy part is... I'm sure he could have been quite comfortable making replica sabers, and selling them as replicas that were made by the original maker! Sure, not as lucrative as $250k+, but personally, I would have paid a premium to have a lightsaber assembled by Roger, even with some replica parts. Now though, that door is kinda slammed shut.
I just watched Jason De Bord's videos. I'm not generally a fan of videos, as I prefer to read articles, but he did a really great job of presenting the information! I also imagine it's a lot faster then writing, so he was able to get the videos out faster. He did a good job of distilling a lot of the conversations down. One thing I noticed while he was talking about the clamp rivet is that the ends of the bubble strip are also cut differently on each saber. Also, with a VERY generous reading of the LOA, one could interpret Roger referencing the "saber pictured below" as the older cropped "toe" photograph, and not the replica. Which, if that was the intent, is sketchy as all get out.

EXACTLY!! why not grab flashes and assemble them himself! You know I would have seriously wanted one of them knowing it was made by the father of the lightsaber
Now I have zero respect for this man, total scumbag move
My friend just sent me this

Hamill confirming the rumour that TIm Burton is the new set decorator for episode IX
Is the rivet on the bunny ears right? Looks much bigger then the one on my flash.
Meh let him, and he will be exposed for the fraud he is again.
Looks like we have a new AA

Looks like Profiles listened to folks like us, as they have pulled the saber from the auction. They cite multiple inconsistencies as the reason for doing so:
Lightsaber sale pulled over origin doubts
Lightsaber sale pulled over origin doubts

Do you guys remember when he did a reddit AMA and spoke about the saber? We had a thread here with some pretty obscure theories on where parts came from etc, like the t-tracks being draught excluders from a car etc, and moments after members posted ideas, he would reply to questions on his AMA with information suspiciously close to the theories in our concurrent thread from here. Always seemed not quite on the level after that.
Oh I distinctly remember that day..
Thing is back then I thought he just had a weak memory.. now I think he just makes stuff up on the spot.. the radio interview kinda proves that to me..
Chronic lair... my cousin is the same way, story after story lie after lie, it all catches up in the end
I’m glad profiles pulled it, but this isn’t going to spot roger. He’ll try and figure some other way to unload this thing
Stuff like this really upsets me because I’m a honest person in real life. I hate people who take advantage of others..
Glad profiles listened because even they took a loss because I can only imagine the commission they would make on the sale
The power of therpf at its finest, good job to everyone who emailed and voiced their concern

Yeah. My personal theory is that Roger simply doesn't remember anything about how he built these things and everything he says is BS. But that's just my theory.
My perhaps naive head wants still believe there is good in him...
It probably all stated with no real malicious intent but without knowing the sheer magnitude of the knowledge base here on the RPF, he got deeper and deeper into something that was obviously incorrect or just wrong, but something he lost control of and perhaps even started to believe himself.
Falsehoods, whether intended or not, do have a habit of gaining an uncontrollable momentum.

Probably just got replaced at some point, assuming it is a vintage. I've got a vintage in similar condition
