Yeah...someone else noticed that photo with Finn and the lightsaber....that's actually why the photo was posted here in the Graflex thread.
But the discussion got side-tracked to Solo's uniform.
Funny thing...I have been tracking the Han Solo blaster thread as well and that also got side-tracked by Solo's uniform! LOL!!
Makes sense...a lot of new pics showed up...everyone is getting excited and commenting on all the new stuff....
All you people do is bitch.
My main beef is people LOOOVE to bash everything about the prequels, bashing the difference of the Anakin hilt but give the differences between the ANH hilt and ESB hilts a free pass because those movies have built in immunity from criticism. That's my main beef. I still think the ROTS Anakin saber hilt looks enough like the ones seen in the OT to be considered the same one. You can't excuse the differences in ESB with ANH. Then bash ROTS for it.

Just sayin'.....Word....:lol:lol Good as explanation as any.:thumbsup
I get that people are very anal and OCD about every minutia of props here, (as that's what it's about here) in ways probably 95 percent or more of the public, or even most SW fans aren't. But they did make an attempt for the ROTS saber to look like the ANH one, the design didn't happen to accidently look a lot like it. I am just stating that there are differences between all 3 props. (Or more than 3). They should have used designs with Grevious there that we'd never seen before. I guess the animators got lazy or figured most people wouldn't care anyway. (Of course, they don't realize how OCD a small percentage of the fanbase can be or care.) And I doubt most people can tell the difference in the thickness of the body of the Anakin ROTS saber with the ANH one unless they have the props in hand or side by side.
Your last line is really sheer hyperbole. How about the ANH version. That's an ESB version at the top there.

It is to illustrate the difference between the base bodies. The ANH and ESB differences are minor in comparison, cus they're the same base with the accoutrements altered. Have no time to dig up an ANH ROTS comparison.
It isn't hyperbole, I could think of a few uses for it :devil
You do the same uses with the other one just as easily.

I can't remember the point we are arguing lol. Jokes aside, the ROTS is the black sheep of Anakin's saber depictions only because they chose to remake it, which is sad because it is the one you see Anakin actually use.
If it were 100% the same as ANH it would have connected the two trilogies in a way that would give me shivers (a better kind than the sex toy saber). Just like how the TFA saber is doing now (which is why we're being tough on the minor differences. They stop it from reaching sublime levels of nerdgasm)
Anyway, I am glad they used a real graflex for TFA and am looking forward to seeing how the they explain it's re-emergence after the long drop on Bespin.
Audiences are more sophisticated these days, so I can see details like the clamp tape and phillips screws not passing inspection this time round.
Yeah, there are differences which are really annoying, unless you can rationalise them away with in story reasons. You're right about the ROTS, it served the purpose on screen. Here they are next to each other for comparison's sake! (its an ROTS + ESB)

unrelated, but now looking at it the ROTS reminds me of some kind of luxury sex toy :lol
