Interest Veracity Labs - "The Princess" (Leia lightsaber) hilt Interest Thread

The people making this are making two variants. An open main copper run and a more limited rose gold run. The rose gold run is already spoken for but there is a waiting list in case existing people later drop out.

As for the origin of the two variants, it's mainly audience perception. Many people interpreted the saber in the movie to appear rose gold, although that was apparently due to how fresh the copper still was during filming which made it appear that way. Very fresh copper can appear very similar to rose gold. So even though the actual prop was fresh copper, this saber is getting a limited run with the rose gold not only for that reason, but also because the premium rose gold just feels fitting for the princess' saber.
I appreciate the heads up. Thank you. I’m in for a copper one
 
First - thank you for the fantastic work to-date; you have proven your work and attention to detail as the work completed on the MoM is simply stellar. There is at least one seriously good alternative out there for those who want a Princess saber, but I feel like this will be THE version to have. Can we get an update? Thank you!
 
Hi guys, the interest list is still open and this is VERY much an active project.

Adam will be coming through to update this list ASAP.

Unfortunately our intended helper Shaun left us, and we come to find has also left us more work to do (correct) than we started with. The RotJ V2 was consuming a good bit of my bandwidth due to the amount of collaboration with the other known vendors involved (I personally feel the need to apologize there, as I am the primary for accuracy checks and was primarily engaged in that collaboration and verification) however that is essentially done and we (Adam and I) are now focused on eminently this… Fixing what Shaun left us with while verifying all aspects of accuracy. I’ll communicate that there ARE some updates that I feel will be worthwhile to see.

Our next step is: get this going straight through down accuracy lane and into production the way we want to see. Adam has a new and long list of my assessments o_O which he’ll be working through until we’re happy and ready to show.

Again I apologize for the lapse in progress and updates but we are picking up full force now

Thanks for this.
Yes basically, the rose gold is a luxury choice. At this point we know copper is accurate but I think every-one who opted onto that list likely felt along with us that rose gold is a fittingly royal tribute to our Princess Leia: Especially after Carrie’s passing.
It seems a precious kind of addition for her commemoration.
 
Now that you’re re-engaging on this, I’m hoping (selfishly) that the rose gold list can be extended to include the standbys too. :)
 
I'm SO glad to see an update on this! Thank you for taking the time to do so. I don't see my name - but please add me to the official interest list (copper) as I have been watching and waiting intently for this. I am ready!
 
All,

first, yes I will be making my way through and capturing all the names for the lists and updating.

second, yes we WILL be expanding the rose gold offering and everyone on standby will have the chance at a rose gold.

while we DO want that line to be exclusive and limited we DO want folks pre-launch to have a chance at them. We won't be doing additional batches of them unlike the copper so it's a one time chance so we want to make sure people can get in on them. As such we likely will increase that cap to 100.

i will be making a larger update to catch you all up on where we are, what is left and give a sense of what to expect. As Bryan mentioned already, his eyes were needed on this. I now have a litany of adjustments to make based on some of Bryan's observations and will be full steam making those.

on the plus side none of the changes are extensive or troublesome so we think we'll have this in fabrication very soon.

Awesome. You guys are doing such great work. Really looking forward to this.
 
I hate to ask because I know you guys have multiple projects going at once, but is there an ETA on when this project might start?
 
I would like to amend my order to my original request: One copper and One RoseGold. Thank you!!
