The inside of the set screw hole in the nipple is white.
I tried using the flash at this point to see if that would help.
That’s it for that saber.
I have a bunch more for the other two. But I don’t want to spam the forum. So let me know what views might be most important. If the answer is “all”. I will do my best to triage and follow up later.
The Luke was I think all resin or something polymer-like. It was really, really well painted. Even in real life it was deceptive. And the join line on the emitter was practically invisible unless you looked at just the right angle. And closer that they wanted anyone to be to the display case. ;-)
The hangar looked to be metal, though. ;-)

What event was this? I went to the exhibit here in Florida at th museum in St.Pete. I have a boat load of photos I will share if you want. Did anyone get up close shots of boushh helmet details? I was able to get the right side however, the left had to much light hitting my camera

sorry. Nothing at all from TLJ. Prequels and the OT with bb8 Finn and Rey. Tons of pics from the first 7.I think these are from Amazing-Con in Wasghinton D.C. If you have pictures of the Luke saber we'll take them. I'm always curious to see how the color of an object looks different when taken with another camera.

Check out the top of the grenade section on the prodigal son..

it's also got the tall emitter section. and the skinny lower neck. and the thick rings. looks like it has a deep control box card area too
I’ve been comparing all afternoon, tom it’s scary how close these things look.. the SF pommel is a mess though...
Also if there is a metal version, and constructed like the SF, the tri ring could easily switch sides by not screwing it in all the way.
Dying to see what our boys here come up with
WHY???:confused would that copy the SaberForge?(if that's what they did) That saber is such a disgrace to the RotJ Luke Hero. It's so............so chunky:sick It makes me shudder
I will say with confidence, 100% it was either built with the parts from saberforge (minus the pommel, but I have another idea for that)
Or they got their hands on a prodigal son, and used it for all the measurements..
Look at the tri rings, 100% the same
The control box card, they painted the 90* rail covers on the end so it’s playing with our eyes
Prodigal son emitter and wind vane
Prodigal son grenade/rings
Redeemer body (control box) added hero black button, 2 screws, and custom arrows
This is where it gets funky... prodigal son and redeemers pommels are attached to the boosters
They could have made a whole custom job booster down... or
Used a prodigal son pommel, cut it off, kept the booster, then used the redeemer booster and shaved it down alittle to fit inside the prodigal son booster..

They could have possibly even used the booster from the redeemer and milled it down a few MM for the ring..
Lathe’d up a blade plug/nipple and done

Wow! I think you have hit the nail on the head! I didn't think to use some redeemer parts. But that pommel, I think that's what they may have done. So maybe there is an FX saber out there? That was built using more or less SaberForge parts?
