Excellent work there buddy!! Love the stunt nicknames.

I love the picture with the practical porgs!

So........On the hero, does the brass on the glass eye continue over on to the front edge?

It also looks painted. That's not the shine of metal.

I guess the avoidance of metal mirroring green taped fingers

I don’t believe so

 

[SethS]

I’d bet they shot several, hero for the close up and resin for the wide and toss shot.

100% this. We see plenty of shots that's an undeniable vintage in the close up, this is right before he chucks it. Totally resin.

Sooooo missing rivets, peeling PCB card, maybe a not brass eye, and according to some extra Long bunny ears...

Anyone want to postulate what's going on here?

I'm guessing one of the vintage-based stunt sabers minus it's blade? Not sure why the PCB is shedding.

Something looks off to me in these shots, it COULD just be because it's out of focus... But do you think this could be the resin stunt?

From the documentary; this cuts to a shot of Rian, then back to Mark tossing it off the cliff

This shot is slowly panning up on Mark, and when it cuts back to him tossing it the shot is focusing on his head and his arms are just out of the shot, so it seems to match up


At around 12 minutes in the documentary

it would appear this casting has short grips, like the Maz box saber?

Pretty sure that's just the bottom and kobold you're seeing

 

[Halliwax]

Yeah this is a long grip saber

This reminds me of a OT saber, thrown together real quick and crappy looking

oh my god guys i found the short grip saber



In a deleted scene (Caretaker village), so it doesnt count, but STILL

whyyyyyyyyy

Few more pictures

Hero


Bottom end on the last 2 pictures there... Stamping? Weirdly small cover plate? D-ring reflection?
First pic is pretty similar to what we got from a behind the scenes video in July, minus the color correction


Awfully blurry shots of the resin stunt



Not posting this to my gallery but I love this picture lol

It's SOOO minimal-- I think it's the angle. Kind of like the hero in the first set.

Not sure about the bottom-- that COULD be some words...

 

[SethS]

Looks like either a smaller or misaligned endcap.

The edge we see here gives the illusion of short grips. I think this is what is happening in the cut scene photo.

What's with the double notched grip, there? Anyone else see that?

I don't think anything's happening with the PCB, it's just a shadow from his finger.

I would guess, that it being a stunt saber of some sort, it's probably picked up some damage

It looks to me like it's an intentional notch, exactly like the ones made for the rivets to sit in.

So many inconsistencies, I give up
