How did these things end up at auction?? I thought Lucasfilm had all this stuff in the archives? (aside from a lot of the stuff from SW which ended up stolen).
More Gary Kurtz pieces being sold with his certificate of authenticity and not that of LFL or George Lucas.
I have no way in knowing if these props are real screen used or are replicas.
Some forum said a lot of the design details don't match up.
One of the stolen darth vader sabers ended up in a museum someplace. Who knows if any others will show up.
Supposed the sabers elstree sold where not even screen used and were less than authentic. I don't know how this was determined since they were made by one of the prop makers who worked on return of the jedi.
The guy profiled on Unsung Heroes.
My favorite one is the one that comes apart and has a nifty green crystal inside, you know the debunked non screen used saber featured in Returning to Jedi.
“Always loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin’s ghost. What a fucking shame.” -Simon Pegg.
I still want to know how they could possibly ever lose the original Death Star model! The guy who now has it is probably the luckiest fan on Earth!
When was the "take apart saber" debunked?
Where were you in '77?
