**SPOILERS** New RoS prop image **SPOILERS**

I actually kind of like this saber in primer grey.
But I still stand by my opinion when it’s all Rose good and chrome. Blech.

Ahem ... COPPER and ALUMINIUM.

 

[Halliwax]

Looks great!

Agreed. I was thinking the same thing earlier today

Since someone has access to some screen grabs, anyone have a good shot of Palpatine's Guards? I got the Visual Dictionary and was quite disappointed in this one. As someone said earlier, they seemed to want to make it more of a rehash of this trilogy with a few known tidbits for good measure.

 

[VitalNonsense]

What is going on with the activation? I see green light, then blue, then gold?

Indeed! A cool little touch, flashes of other colors before it goes gold.

I like to think that it was attuning to Rey's jedi path.

I’ll say the only difference to the staff parts I see is the section just below the cloth wrapping. It looks a bit longer and more flat instead of rounded.

I think you're right about that part being a little longer and more flat edged. Also, if you'll notice, right beneath the emitter is an extra section between two existing pieces.
(The metal in general also appears to be much smoother than on her staff)

I've highlighted these added bits in red in my below mockup:

(again the teeth are not placed accurately they're placeholders for now)

 

[natalieweed98]

Yes indeed. On both sides.

I found an a image from a 3D esty model that clearly shows the lightsaber Rey makes including the turn switch.

I'll throw in that I found out copper and aluminum react with one another when fitted together. The Nicksdad sabers sometimes locked together because the windvane.. oxidized? or something? on the surface pressed against the aluminum. I clear coated the copper neck to fix this.

Yup, never mix your metals

Here is someone on Thingiverse who made a in progress model.

Rey's Completed Yellow Lightsaber - The Rise of Skywalker by nataliegroman

Changelog: To be coming: I'm going to overhaul some of the parts so that they slot together and also will become compatible with a custom LED rig that I am designing. That should be coming in the next week or two. Updated 1/11 - I added an alternate tsuka file to be more rounded instead of...

Depends.

It never occurred to me that this could be the first time she activated her saber

Or your metaphors.

Or your metaphors.

Can I point something out to you that I noticed? OUTSTANDING job BTW, just something that stood out.
The profile of these struts seem to have a swoop / curve to them.

and also the emitter rings appear to be either rounded or beveled on the top edges (right edges in this photo)

Fantastic job so far. It looks amazing!

Lol spelling is not my strong part half the crap I post is spelt wrong

Yup. You’re right. Also I started my own thread ROS *Spoiler* Saber design

Since I used to sell Rey staffs on Etsy, I already had most of what I needed to create Rey's new saber. Was excited to work on the mechanical opening but starting to sound like most people want a blade to fit more than they want the end to open.

Most of my sabers don't have electronics or blades, so if I could have one that just opened I'd be totally stoked on that.

Neat. Personally I'm more interested in a hilt that is accurate and functional for display than I am interested in installing it with a blade. One with functional "teeth" sounds awesome.
