Saber Hilts in the ESPN Documentary

[thd9791]

I found some really good shots of those replicas in the ESPN Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel documentary. I've been on the forums since 2010, so I've seen a lot of replicas, though I don't know as much as people who have been here longer of course. These hilts puzzle me.

Note the:
Silver tape on clamp
two red buttons
light colored PCB with gold leads
round-ish D ring - rather new idea in 2015, we have Roy to thank for that


Obi Wan/Luke

Click on that photo, it's freaking huge

The reason the last one puzzles me so is that

1) we did not know of the split-neck color in 2015 - so that replica (assuming it is) must have been made by someone with inside knowledge?
2) The neck is gold which doesn't need a split neck.
3) The gold was not a popular replica choice until recently either, and it's a good accurate color that we still struggle to get
4) There is a silver windvane ring lip like the ROTJ Hero
4) The emitter and booster both look dark or blackened. That rules out a lot of ROTJ Hero sabers, and makes this a stunt style hilt
5) Is there a nipple? The only saber we knew of in 2015 that lacked a nipple was the V3. What is this a replica of??

I was always curious of that V3 stunt… who originally made it..
