My first thought was that it was like a bunny-ear TV antenna and that is the base, while the part that you can swivel to the sides was removed leaving the hole, or could be from an old motorola router.

I wish both his hands weren't covering it, I'm dying to see this thing by itself. Another idea that popped into my head was... And this may contain a spoiler so I'm going to tag it but I heard a rumor that the
if that is true maybe they modify it in the film? I seriously hope not, but seeing how this "stunt" is in the trailer and now pretty visible on advertisement, maybe the bottom of the saber is supposed to look different... Maybe it has a purpose and not just the stunt?
I could be be super over analyzing everything but this is what makes this hobby so much fun " what if what if "

graflex has a very big important and they open it up because they need something inside it

At least let us agree on that it is a real G R A F L E X flash being used as a stunt . . . shall we . . . as for the mcguffin part of the lightsaber . . . I'd assume after all these years having been kept by the maintenance crew of Bespin City and several Ugnaughts . . . fresh batterries were most definitely needed to be inserted :lol

My guess is to turn it on remotely, thats the only reason I have.

List he cable visible? I honestly don't know what I'm looking for, is it possible for someone to highlight/photoshop where the cable is

Is it real Chaim? I thought we thought it was a TCSS graflex top?

As far as I'm concerned the top is a real G R A F L E X with new guts perhaps and having seen those grips up close ... I would not be surprised if those were black painted and weathered plastic T-tracks from . . . GINO either :wacko

Yes, I know ... but why would they invest lots of money in 7 real flashguns ... if they could fiddle together a stuntsaber with parts from TCSS? Doesn't make sense ... you guys need to understand how props making for movies work ... they have access to all kinds of machines and workshops to make whatever they need from scratch or find laying around ... they most certainly won't purchase any parts that we from the fandom do ... it's not in their nature.

There is agerman saber show fight group that uses a wireless system to transfer the fx sound (humming and clash) to a sound system while fighting. So big audiences get a better show with better sound.
I don't think that Hollywood needs something like this. They could add the sound afterwards.
The thought just crossed my mind that they could use these antenna for anything.
Don't think it would be helpful for the actor when someone turns his/her lightsaber on/off and isn't ready with his mimic or playing for just this moment. I think it could complicate the actoring.

Oh ok I understand now, graflex shell, machined guts. All they need to do is see what the fan doers have and they can copy it with out a problem. But if we do find out the t tracks came from a fan prop builders, I wouldn't be surprised if they also grabbed inner guts from TCSS or graflex parts and reverse engineered they own guts

if it is a antenna I don't get why they would want to control it besides having the actor ignite it himself/herself... Hope we do find out what this is all about. But again I really enjoy reading the debating and thinking about what it is, it's my favorite part of this hobby

Anyone have a complete photo of this showing the entire graflex in 1 picture. I want to tonight highlight a few things in photo shop and compare them to the new forest scene. The forest scene shows the antenna almost dead center, I wonder if this is another stunt saber because this one is hanging to the left, I gotta compare where exactly the bunny ears are in both pictures

I have another theory: this isn't the movie prop we're looking at, but a new Hasbro force FX saber. It's a Hasbro promo picture in the end isn't it? That would explain the switch and perhaps some other features.
Another thought I have: since there's no D-ring at the bottom, that the 'plug' is some sort of magnetic attachment to a belt.

Good thought regarding Hasbro merchandise.
Wouldn't it be nice to fight a sith in the living room and here the clash and humming of the sabers via Bluetooth on your DolbySoround?[emoji2] [emoji106]

The bunny ears should be opposite the 'golden' set screw
Nice thoughts Roy ... however these are photoshoots especially done for movie promo memorabilia and merchandise with 'real props' on hand . . . remember the fold-up Darth Vader from ANH?
