Thanks for the interesting posts fella's, I'm always amazed at how you work the details with the same diligence as a CSI investigator
I have to agree with your point @
Mara Jade's Father regarding people and the details. I have worked for Lucasfilm for over a quarter of a century and from experience I know that most fans do not micro-analize the details and the vast majority of them wouldn't notice if the blaster was different in these small details.
On this forum though its fair to say that a lot of folk WOULD care but even here, tiny details are often overlooked by members and although I am pretty fussy about my props, its safe to say that often I fall into that category as well..
Cheers,
