Screen used Vader saber ?

[moonwalker]

Okay, after searching for hours, I only found parts of answers, so... My question is simple, which flash handle was used in ANH and ESB for Vader's sabers ?

Several websites and people say it was a MPP, some say it's a Heiland... I never found a clear answer. So, which one is the real deal ? Is there a proof of it ?

Due to the look I would say it's the MPP, but I argued a few days ago with a fellow 501st member who told it was a Heiland.

So, saber experts, if you have answers...


(And excuse me if i made some mistakes; my english is a bit poor)

MPP for entire OT (aside from stunts). People assumed Heiland back in the day because no one knew about the MPP. I should say people assumed Heiland for SW, King Sol for ESB, and the stunt saber LFL mislabeled for exhibit tours for ROTJ....those were the dark days.

I thought the ROTJ Vader was from the Graflex (the shape of the emitter?)

That's a WHOLE other ball of wax there.

But deffinately MPP for the ANH and ESB. Many think the MAIN ROTJ saber was also made from an MPP.

But there have been 2 other sabers used in ROTJ Artwork, toys, and tech books. Not to mention on display as screen used ROTJ Vader sabers at various museums and conventions. One was made from a graflex and was used as the inspiration for the 90's hasbro toy saber. And one was known as the "barbican" saber. The barbican was obviously and randomly the main influence for the design of the ROTS saber.

There were two MPPs used in ANH as Vader's hero sabers.
1. MPP with silver side bars and gap between the grips and center clamp.
2. MPP with black side bars and no gap between the grips and center clamp.

In ESB, number 2. went on to become the single hero saber.
That same saber went on to become the single hero saber in ROTJ as well.

The saber in the following threads were used as a hero saber in all three OT films.
