The real one is approximately 11.25 inches or thereabouts.
Im guessing 11 on the nose. Roy's scaling came out to 278mm. That's a little under 11". Now if this was an older prop that had been cast a bunch I'd upscale it to 11.25 as you say. But since the exhibit sabet was 1st generation, and since modern resins shrink so much less than the ones that were being used in 1983, I'm thinking thay the shrinkage we're seeing is relatively minimal.

Sorry Dan, I was talking about the RotJ Hero being 11.25, after halliwax asked.
When it comes to the TLJ prop, I have no problem believing your calculations are pretty spot on.
^ My point as well. But I guess supporters of static have a cost factor, that a cheaper item is preferred.
I'm shocked people still make statics, anymore. What with the advent of clever sound venting or separate soundvented pieces to switch out when on display... FX hilts these days are indistinguishable from static with the exception of a silly grub retention screw.
This is a TLJ Luke thin neck run, so whatever it takes to achieve that accuracy for FX is my preference. That's the TLJ as seen in that flashback scene.
Just to state my position: I prefer an FX version but I am happy to support a static run if that is where the demand is. Either way, I like what Daniel does, so I am pleased to support this. (His Luke V2 run just completed was amazing).
Dan you can always look into having green and red resin arrows made, and then the installers can put white LEDs behind the resin arrows
