Had to share this gem-
Even though I own several actual Graflex 3-cell sabers and raw units, plus other replicas of Lukes ANH and ESB sabers, I still have an affection for this thing. Its an 80s-era replica made by Marco Ent with the original instructions and, allen wrench and belt clip. This thing is replete with inaccuracies and has a couple silly-looking momentary switches that activate sounds and lights, but I still love it. Its fully metal and not a bad attempt for the era in which there was no internet and little in the way of picture reference. I actually own two of these- the one pictured here as well as one I converted into a walking stick that I've taken on several hiking trips including remote parts of Colorado. The ultimate test of its 'close enough-ness' is that everyone on the trails who sees the walking stick still knows exactly what it is and gets a kick out of it.
