BTW, I am not even sure that the ROTJ prop has a groove. It could be a gap. It is as least as deep as half the thickness of the buttons.
I agree with everyone. Thicker rings, ISYHCANL style box, but the rails are thicker than ROTJ, enough to leave a bit of shadow.
The copper/brass neck seems to be thin still, I noticed Dan your 3D file looks a bit thick up there. Also, we still have the AS handwheel style cubes, asymmetrical!

(Apparently this didn’t go threw before, see if the picture still works)
Seth dating back to you statement about the rings looking fatter. To me they sure look like the rings on starkiller’s 1st run
Now looking... looks like they are even fatter then starkiller’s first run

Yeah, definitely! So the way our system works is completely digital. (Without getting myself into trouble I'll speak generally....) Essentially how it works for digital systems is there's a server where all the hard drive copies of the movies ("DCP's") are loaded (those hard drives are HEFTY). This then feeds into a playlist system where each projector connects to, and then plays the relevant files for each screening. For example, lighting cues for dimming the house lights, gate control (moving black flats.. I guess you'd call them? That's what I'm used to from Theatre/Stage Productions.. so it fits the content properly without having a weird half illuminated wall), adverts and trailers and then the film itself. Usually, each project has the ability to play/pause a playlist, skip ahead - just like a conventional media player. So long answer short - yes I could technically pause the film at the relevant time and take a picture of the movie screen.
And to answer your second question anyway, yes - that's how most film/digital conversions are done with super expensive scanners, essentially. I don't think many cinemas here in New Zealand even use film still, at least for modern mainstream movies. Alty/small cinemas might, since the changeover to digital was a massive cost that actually shut down a cinema in my town.. sadness. Anyway, I digress - yeah, you could technically grab a (IMAX would be best - that quality holy moly) film reel and take a scan of the right frame(s), but you'd wanna be super careful not to over expose it to too much light, as to not damage the film and to get a good scan, obviously.
Sorry for the long winded explanation. haha.
Ah it's alright, I've just been working too long under old rules of no pictures in theatres, and distributers like Disney who are super controlling and want us to continue to enforce it; however I do love me a good quality picture of something for reference I'd like to work on, such as Ben Solo's lightsaber. I'm happy to talk about how things work!
I mean, I'm there enough lately to actually be both people, early and late hahah. Just need to find a time when no one is seeing TLJ...HA! I'm just asking questions about how the system works.
I'm definitely not telling him to be the first person into the movie house in the morning and the last person out late at night...with a suitcase full of a Photoshop laden laptop and a flatbed scanner with everything plugged into a powerstrip and ready to be plugged into a wall to make some scans or download images into from the projector's computer.
Elusive. Hidden. Dangerous the Dark Side is. And the reward is well, more wealth than you can imagine.
No body has anything to say about my new model???
I know it's early days and the references we have a pretty poor so far. But, if anyone wants to play around with my saber in 3d and give me feedback, feel free

I think it looks great!
Would you mind sharing the overall length of your model, just so I have something to compare the “ring section” I modelled earlier today with?

I could, but like Seth mentioned, the picture, the one I took at least, was rather deformed (because I sat pretty far in front
). In Photoshop I tried to form it back (de-deformed?) but it's not that straight. But I can give it a try!
You might be right
The thickness of the rings could be an optical illusion-- but they definitely look even, whatever size they may be. The big difference between it and your TFA model (which I'm holding in my hands comparing to this image) is the emitter-- which, to be fair, on the TFA had to involve some guess work.
If you do a TLJ run You'll have me for that one on top of the new V2.
I've got portions of my paychecks direct depositing to Roy and Roman already, so I can cut you in too. My kid can get a job if he wants to eat.

my opinion doesnt count, everything you make i fall in love with
Haha. The 3d model I posted is a complete redesign from the body on my TFA saber. So, work off that
The first thing I thought when I saw the film was "man those grip ridges took huge." Then I had to remind myself to pay attention to the story

I had the same feeling each time the Graflex was prominently in view!
