Well, it looks like they made an updated version of Luke's ROTJ saber for TFA...

I was just about to post the same caps, lol. This may be as clear as we get. There is a behind-the-scenes shot of the ESPN special showing one of the producers holding a ROTJ-style saber, but the saber isn't clear, and I don't see a nipple...

Strange triangular D-ring :/
I can't even see a control box.
Well, we don't know if that was the TFA prop that Mark had in the special. It looks like it from the small blurry shot we can see at the middle of the video. But, the graflex is an ESB replica, so who knows where they got these from

Count me in for small run of this new TFA/ROTJ Luke if you do it. Also I'd still be in if you did the ISYHCANL run!!!
Ok. I'm waiting back to hear quotes from 2 shops. Hopefully on Monday or Tuesday I'll be able to determine the feasibility of this.

I'm a poly-whatever they call it. I'm on for both runs can't ever have too many quality built awesome lightsabers (or blasters)!

I love how from the side it's got a familiar profile but looking down the emitter gives you something new. Also, I'm assuming these renders are with the camera in a parallel projection mode. It makes the one side of the activation box look longer than the other. I wonder if it's a similar lens-distortion effect that makes the box look a little wonky in the screen caps.
Also, is it just me, or do the black boxes on the control box looks like they might be a little lower than on the ROTJ hero?
Actually the control box is asymmetrical on my model
I think the shape of the control box is symmetrical, as well as its placement on the body of the saber. I even think the rails are. True the left one looks thinner at the front, but if you look at the back the width is the same. I think the light is washing out the left one a bit and making it appear thinner, and other optical effects are in play to suggest the other possible asymmetries.
dan count me in! that model looks beautiful!

oh man I'm like a kid in a candy store, this is all new to me! I'm alittle late, i love the ever so slightly weathering on the control box...
I'd prefer an electronics ready version, so if this is a static, as nice as it may be I'll have to pass.
Hoping we'll be able to come up with one that we can do a full install on and get the full effect of the control box lights etc.

I'm going to keep thinking about the box. You guys miight be right. No electronics on this one. And the box will be solid, since this one isn't meant to be a copy of the ROTJ hero
