The Ultimate Guide to Lightsabers eBook

Page 84
Second paragraph, 'recent' is misspelled 'recvent'.

Third paragraph, 'This makers' should probably be 'These makers'.

:)
 
Glad to see the new version!
On page 29, second paragraph. “State” should be “stated”, but I think the info has gotten out of order anyway. The paragraph that mentions KR Sabers blade plugs is at the end of that same page, not on a previous page.
Page 68, the last sentence about Rey’s saber. Misspelled “adapted”.
 
Great addittions Seth!

One thing though: are we sure that Kylo's saber has the same paint job in TROS as it did in TFA? I've poured over the Han reunion scene and it looks more matte-black with quillion weathering only (ala TLJ). Thoughts?

The pic I have on p 68 bottom right is the TROS prop from the VD. It does look a little different from the still above it-- but the wire placement matches, and we can tell it isn't a stunt. I think we can chalk it up to the fact that there was probably more than one and there could be variations in the paint.
 
The stage hand standing in for Vader with Luke's lightsaber is Harold Cole - I feel like he should get credit seeing as how many times we play that clip over and over..its like we're obsessed :D
 
Only thing I'd add to the book is the revelation of TLJ Graflex hero being a 1928 Shiny Folmer Top. That's why it's so polished looking with its unique glass eye. Just a thought to add that!!

Is that a proven fact with accompanying evidence?
 
I also think the bottom half deserves some scrutiny. There's no way the gap between grips and clamp is 3.5 mm:

Compare with the CG model, or any shots from TFA:

Or my build with 3.5 mm gaps (excuse the lack of rivets):

PrinceZip has been saying for a while now that the TLJ hero grips are 90mm long, though I don't know his source on that.
