....a very NICE Mer Sonn?

Your replica is coming along nicely by the way!

Thank you very much!

Yep, it's showing up in Star Wars Battlefront via the Rogue One: Scarif DLC (source):

They actually moved the scope to the other side of the blaster, since Krennic's apparently left-handed in the movie, but right-handed in the game (not sure if moving the scope makes more or less sense, though).

Thank you for sharing! I´ve seen it this morning for the first time. Such a beauty, but curious why they changed it from left- to right-handed...

Odds are a programming issue - if all the models in the game shoot Right handed, they had to "fix" Krennic to shoot "correctly"

Aaaahh... that makes sense! Thank you for the info!

Also, it would probably look weird for people playing in first person to have the blaster suddenly switch sides, plus the HUD's designed for right-handed blaster use (source):



It still seems a little odd they'd bother moving the scope, though; it actually makes more sense for it to be on the other side, because now how he can only use the scope by turning the blaster sideways.

Nice hi-res shot of that Battlefront render:

Krennic's blaster, at least in Battlefront, is a six shot revolver type blaster.

Ben Mendelsohn's got an original prop sitting on his lap at 4:26 and 6:35 (no close-ups, unfortunately):

Here's Mendelsohn demonstrating the functions of the prop (skip to 5:19):

These may be of some help Ben Mendelsohn giving a demonstration from this week's episode of the Star Wars Show!

Hoooo boy do I love details like that. So who's gonna make this version?

I'm surprised the grip is so flat, you'd think they'd round it a bit to make it comfortable to hold.

I've made a start on a kit of this. The goal is dead-on accuracy with working trigger, barrel break and ammo clip.

My friend Matt (who designed the original) just posted this pic:


It has some differences but it's still cool to see how it evolved.
