A cast of the (maybe) Shared Stunt that seems to be hollow with a sawed off pommel end( seen in the photo below, notice hole in pommel)

One of the Shared Stunt castings that was most likely part of the onres shot out of R2 showed up in a wired article and I'm not sure if "Star Wars" Disney owns it or not.

Everything else is in a private collection or lost I think. How'd I do?

heres the vader saber owned today by stephen lane, also known here as the casino saber, or hard rock cafe saber

What’s the Vader saber on the left in the Christian photo?

i honestly cant tell ya seth. it looks like the ROTJ vader saber, but has a MPP clamp and circuit card. i have seen this saber before on display at celebrations (ive never attended, ive only seen other peoples photos) and i figured it was a replica

you can see it far right, looks like it has the nail as a lever, is this the original clamp from the ANH saber?

Wow! I never noticed how small Palpatines saber hilt actually was.

Talking about stepping up, way to go Danny! :thumbsup

The guy I do a lot of work for, he brought over his MR sidious . It’s a baby compared to every other saber.

That's the Barbican saber. First seen at the location it's named for. Seems to be a promo saber, or a take on a stunt saber very late in SW. not seen on film. The energizer saber, graflex slave sabers all seem to get their design from this.

i was wondering if it was related to the energizer saber because it looked similar
 
odd looking hilt. Looks too shaped to be machined. Is this made from found parts. To me, it kind of looks like a big fishing lure

probably sculpted, cast in aluminum and then clean dup by hand. i thought the same thing when he brought it over, trying to figure out its construction. figured its cast in metal and cleaned by hand. its very very heavy, and i mean romans ANH obi wan heavy! i was afraid to touch it because it leaves fingerprints everywhere

That' pretty heavy. Does anyone have background info on this? The reason I went went a lure is because it looks like an eye on the top near the emitter. Also, the emitter looks like a cap sitting on the hilt section. The rear has the screw looking part that could have been where the hooks attached

I think it's completely hand sculpted, & then cast & painted. Don't think there's any "real world" anything in it. I own it (I'm being exceedingly lazy, being buried under blankets & a cat right now, don't wanna get up & take photos), & completely agree about the finger print comment. If you don't wear gloves to handle it, you'll have to polish it before putting away. The paint on is beautiful. It is hefty, but I don't know if it's Romans ANH Obi-Wan hefty. Although, it's been a while since I've even touched it.

I saw this at The Magic of Myth tour

ive held them side by side, they are pretty close, what ever you do DONT disturb that cat!! it would be real nice to get a picture of the saber and the cat together, only saying! ;)
