- Thread starter SethS
- Start date
What about the prototype sabers?I’d save those for a future appendix.
Actually... one prototype did make it in...

I have a pic of the graflex tlj ending scene but fuzzy
Warning! Potential TLJ spoilers
Considering it's possible this is the end for the Graflex in the movies, I think yes. When I saw Rey holding the graflex in two pieces, I remember feeling almost as bad as when Kylo skewered Han.
And Seth, thanks so much for your work!

your pic will make it happen!
SO I lied-- Christmas did NOT come early... that's what happens when you gather new images up, discover a bunch of stuff, and a new movie happens. There's literally three big updates to old sabers happening at once...
Anyway, before I update the stickied post and hand it off to Roy to make public to the world, here is a soft-publish of the new version for deep RPFers. I plan to go public after New Year's so that gives you a few days to find any typos (there will be a lot, despite being a writer I am a horrid typist, and most of this was written after-hours), argue any thoeries (must have photo back up!), or otherwise send me back into a tailspin of rewrites.

This is INCREDIBLE!!!
Thank you for sharing this with us!
Is the V3 what Luke throws away after he chops off Vader’s hand?
Man I love this guide!

seth im so confused on this scene... i always thought he deactivated the v3, then scenes switched and he chucks a resin stunt..
but im now thinking hes throwing the actual v3. the circuit card looks too detailed for it to be painted on a resin stunt. i could be completely wrong
i find it hard to believe they would remove the blade from the v3, and throw the all metal prop... cut scene replace saber with resin and chuck... but there is no cut scene.. maybe there is a guy laying on the ground out of frame exchanging sabers? if so why even bother removing the blade, if the blade was already removed just chuck the v3?
i wonder if the sound we here of it hitting the floor is the real sound of the metal prop, or if it was dubbed over in editing..
if it is resin, they did a hell of a job painting that circuit card.
the rings look different then the v3's but the paint under the emitter looks to be the same.. the control box also looks funky, like they could have filled it with clay to void that area for silicone. this is what makes me believe its resin
another thing to mention, is the clamp color, and emitter is matching.. i would think it would be 2 different colors, being the brushed nickel, and raw aluminum.. shows signs of cold casting.
Matte finish of the metal, especially the clamp, makes me think this is a resin V3 all throughout the scene. They didn't need the dueling rod to rotoscope the effect at this point, at least, not when it's ignited for a short time. So it makes me think that Hamill's just holding a resin cast over Prowse, pretending to deactivate it, and then tosses it. We also know from the Wired image that they did bother painting the PCB on the cast (looked like all one gold color) but being that it's mostly all worn off at this point, who knows?
Again, they most likely didn't care all that much about props, so it very well could be the real V3.
