Hey guys, What references do we have for the hilts on the light-up lightsabers used in TFA? Specifically, I'm hoping to find good shots of the graflex hilt on the light up sabers.
Thanks
Dan

These are the only ones that I know of, but I haven't done much digging.
Yes. I believe the Hyperdyne system used on set allowed control of the intensity, flicker and flash on clash. That and it used a variation of the bluetooth module so that all sounds could be recorded and later edited in post, and also could be played over a sound system on set - however that idea was scrapped.
Take what I say with a grain of salt, I'm trying to remember what was said in the Graflex Research TFA thread.
@Anakin Starkiller You could try maybe getting in contact with the Hyperdyne guy? I can't remember his username, but he visited to let us know that he had been approached etc.. Might be able to help you out. I would dare say more reference shots are just going to be short snippets from the DVD.

I'm trying to see if they actually used Graflex's for the fighting sabers, or if they made some sort of graflex copy
They made their own Graflex for the dueling sabers. You can see the solid body stunts on the workbench in the photo above.
Yes, I read an article in American Cinematographer that goes into a little detail about doing just that.
They didn't mention a name for the system used however so I'm not sure on that count.
