See the interesting thing about this interview is the dig he has at Norman Harrison who is the "UK prop builder" referred to in this quote:
"Being candid, how the hell would a UK prop builder know anything about what we shot when, where, or how in the USA, and how would they know if any footage was ever lost?"
Some here may have seen the shot in Jambe's Returning to Jedi where the Harrisons produce their so-called screen-used original saber they "made" for this scene.It has been proved fairly recently that as I,and several others,always knew that the saber the Harrisons have and flaunt in RTJ is in fact a replica that they commissioned from an outside machinist and then attempted to sell as a screen original for five figure sums on numerous occasions through both their Elstree Props guise and on other auction venues.It is interesting to note the complete disdain Howard has for them.
Anyway as this is related to the topic at hand I thought you might all be interested as both this saber,and other fakes being sold by the Harrions relating to SW and Indy,have been of much note in the prop community of late.I've been saying it for years,particularly regarding the Luke reveal construction saber, but there you go.
