For those who were interested in the lightsaber's i was selling a while back, I figured i would post some pictures for those who are interested, had comments or questions or simply just wanted to drool over what i have displayed in my room (lol)

These are some pictures of the final product. Luke's ROTJ lightsaber (no it does not come with a blade and it does not make any sound effects. Simply a prop replica)

The design was taken from the real life replica which is shown in detail in the book "From Star Wars to Indiana Jones - The Best of the Lucasfilm Archives"

for comparison to the real prop

I was going to post the picture of me in full Jedi outfit striking down Darth Lucas... but thats a whole other thread...

After I get all of my Indy gear, I think I'm going to start working on a lightsaber replica.

I thought about getting my Graflex handle from here (the website Dayv gave me like ten minutes ago) http://parksabers.com/graflex.html
(Are there any cheaper ones?)

And getting this conversion kit: http://www.blast-tech.com/products_packagedKits_GX-1.asp

How do you think that will turn out?

Solid Aluminum (milled and then polished), he's still charging $150 CAN for materials and labour (not sure what that is US, you yanks gotta figure that out ), he wont do anything about a blade for now (it is a future plan) but if its yours im sure you can experiment.... and finally i dont know lol
