Unless it's the buckle on the sleeve that I'm seeing?
I didn't realize the sleeves had buckles on them..
Idk, the more pictures I see of promo stuff and officially released art, the more I'm thinking that this is what the Graflex turns into in the movie.
The piece is in every picture, every promo and its in the instagram teaser, something tells me its not just a matter of what happened to be on hand during the promo shoots.

That is what i was referring to as what you were seeing as a cable, the buckles. And it actually is not in every picture, the one Agent RayBans posted seems to be the Hero, I see golden Trace Circuit Board and SILVER Rivets, against the black Hex Head Screws from the Store Promo. Found a Higher Quality Pic. So it seems they went with the MR ESB version with those Rivets.

I'm late to the party! I took some photos of the displays on Force Friday, but I guess there's no point posting them now. There's no question it's a bladed stunt version in the photos. As you guys have pointed out, there appears to be some sort of electronic things in the base of the hilt. I don't think anyone has mentioned how shallow the charge/flash sync cable sockets look at the emitter. This would be to accommodate a blade I'm sure. I'm going with the assumption this is a lit blade to cast light on the actors.

It's too bad we're already seeing discrepancies in the details (rusty black hex screws vs. shiny metal rivets). I don't know why prop makers don't make the details on the different versions as similar as possible, even if only 1% will notice. I'm sure time and immediately available resources are a factor. I just hope the details on the hero prop start showing up, we're ready to get this build going.

Heh, I figured I wouldn't be the only one that noticed the black attachment at the base of the saber and the cable seemingly running into the sleeve.
Is it safe to say the hero has a replica clamp with no textured or mirrored tape based on that picture up there?

If the production team was dead set on using only found parts, is there any chance this could be saberfreak t-track?

Maybe he uses the on/off Switch at the bottom to keep it from turning on accidently, like a gun safety switch

Indeed ... however they have the proper width too ... and since Roy did not send out an invoice to the props department ... and GINO is being awfully quiet . . . there are several options ... 1) the real stuff is used or castings of as in the OT , 2) these are GINO's T-tracks ... or 3) perhaps it's T-track from saberfreak, since we do know that Roger received a whole role of the saberfreak's T-tracks quite some time ago as he revealed in an interview online and since he's back 'in the picture' with his new book coming out, it's quite possible that whoever is in charge of weapons and lightsaber props for VII could have contacted him for any assistance in regards to T-tracks :wacko
