Send me you address I have about 100 LED holders here will send some to you post haste. Have two vinatge Light bright stems here... inserted them into the LED holders..... damn too thick! Plus the are tear drop sharped lots of milling to get to work. Orange arcylic 5mm rod would do the trick.. I also remember them saying they flashed the lights on the TIE to give roto scopers a reference point for the TIE laser bolts.

On the TIE page in 'Sculpting a Galaxy', it says they were lit in sequence as they fire, to provide a point of reference for the optical department.

Yeah, they did that, but then stopped as it was easier for the animators to "pick" when the TIE (or X) would fire rather than having it dictated by the stage guys.
