Star Wars Complete Saga - Bluray Prop Discoveries

He also isn't gloved in the first shot, so perhaps, they slide down later off-camera.

I never noticed that .

Also philips head screws on the Hoth/Wampa cave saber grips.

ESB Luke at Landos just before Lea yells it's a trap.

Philip head screws on your saber grips.

I was hoping for this thread to materialize. I can't wait to see what blaster discoveries come from the new blu-rays.

I'm watching the ANH Obi death scene and will have screencaps soon. Looks like both transistors are NOT on the saber

You mean washers, don't you?

These are fantastic shots thank you so much! The shots of Luke's stunt saber are spectacular, it's funny how that saw the most screen time. I always wondered, Graflex clamps are hollow. How did the prop dept. make a solid prop out of Obi Wan's parts (in line: grenade, clamp, booster) and does anyone know what was inside the emitter to make it so reflective?

He was really choking up on that saber, wasn't he? :lol

If you are referring to Alec G. in ANH I noticed that too. It looks like he felt really comfortable holding it with his right hand on top, pointer finger poised just between the windvane and the emitter. His left hand holding the saber around the graflex clamp. I have to agree, as awkward as the OT sabers felt with that clunky control box, it fits best in my hands that way. :cool

I got a very old-fashioned vibe from watching him hold his saber. Almost like classic sword technique/dueling. Most others had a very powerful but clumsy two handed baseball bat grip

These shots are definitely not hi-def, but it's still a decent look at the hero prop:

I'm watching the ANH Obi death scene and will have screencaps soon. Looks like both transistor washers are NOT on the saber (I think we already knew this, but it's nice to have the improved resolution).

Looks to me like the washer is on the transistor closer to the pommel.

There's an entire thread on this:
http://www.therpf.com/f9/2-obi-anh-sabers-onscreen-when-45491/

Can you add the hi-res images to that thread? That way we can keep the discussion focused.

I thought it would be good to open this up for other screencaps/prop discussion...
