STAR WARS - Skeleton Crew props & costume

Got the KB torch today. Such a fun little prop. I don't think they did too many things to alter it except remove the top lit.

They erased the customized label. JOBOL, TOPKAY, etc. All manufactured under the same Chinese factory. Looks like a Sci-Fi tool for sure. They didn't arrive to Argentina, so I scored a pair on eBay. She actually has two at her utility belt.
 
Since there doesn’t seem to be a general animatronics thread/subforum, I’ll ask here…about this practical effects bts interview…

Curious what this could be. Principal filming was, what, like 2 or 3 years ago…but still, if Legacy Freakin’ Effects is saying “we’ve never had [this] before,” one would imagine it’s something pretty cutting edge.

I'm no expert on servos but I did a Huyang build not so long ago and the servo for the monocle was supposed to be silent, it was a Reef RAW 100, but since it was over $85 US not including shipping I decided to modify the mount and made an adapter so it would take a $3 SG90, sure there is some noise but I saved $82, not sure if they are what they are using though, there are a lot in the range and worth lots of $$$'s.

Yes she has two indeed. But the one she gives to Wim seems to be a little different from the one on her belt. It's still the same model but it has some more greeblies on it.
 
Anyone have a clear shot of Jude's belt buckle? He keeps covering it with the pistol.
Episode 7 has at least one scene with a clearer view of it (around 11:35), but once again there's the pistol in front of it most of the time. The mentioned timestamp has the best view of it that I remember, need to watch the episode again a second time.
 
Yes like I said, pretty sure the model is the same but the one she is giving to Wim seems to have some sort of belt clip attached to it. And there seems to be a little greeblie sticking out (with a hole in it) where the lid is attached to the body.
I'll try to get some pictures later when I get home.
Maybe this will explain a little what I'm saying

Looks like a deflector...or grill?
Ya, looks like a sleeve addition around the entire torch. Truthfully, it gives the vibe of the upper necking of Luke's ANH saber so maybe it even extends the design influence further down but we just can't see that section yet.

Thank you!! I have an expectation that it will be a design that, when fully exposed to the screen, will be in alignment with the character. Maybe just suspicions but I expect it will be something that would have pointed to being a pirate much sooner in the series. Either way, I will need to replicate it for my own..... my ..... my precious.... hehe. I am a bit too excited about this new cosplay opportunity.
 
I am not sure I trust most of you with something that can start fires.
It's like when someone sends you the video of the guy peacefully riding his bike and you know it is really one of the brutal accident videos or the ghost is going to jump out at the screen, so you just close your eyes and brace for impact. Like watching the crosswalk scene in Meet Joe Black.
