There was one more gun prop replica I was waiting for from them, and that was the Stormtrooper rifle. However, when it came out I took a good look at one... and I must say I was rather disappointed. It just didn't seem to be the same kind of quality that my pistol was and wasn't as accurate as I thought it should be. I think the trigger was non-functioning and the gun was missing the folding stock that I was hoping for. So I actually opted not to get one. They've made some other cool-looking props since, but it seems that their overall quality went downhill a bit (which I've heard from other people as well). The Stormtrooper helmet they produced was a joke as far as accuracy or even appearance goes. So maybe it is time they bowed out and somebody else took their place.
Still, I was a little sad to see their association come to an end. I remember how exciting it was when they first got the license.

MR has had a good run with (mostly) good products, and lots of people are willing to pay the high prices. I'm sad to see that they lost the license. Lord knows what kind of crappy company will win the license next.
You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

Personally I would have liked a Dooku FX as that would have been a really nice FX saber.The problem being now,of course,is that some new company will get the license and just start rehashing all the same old pieces that everyone already has.

Those look nice. I had no idea there were so many different saber handles (mostly from the PT, I guess). I thought I'd be able to identify all of the OT sabers- but there are a few that look sort of similar (and of course the names don't give you any hints).If you want some cool lightsaber replicas, check out www.parksabers.com

Dude, I could totally power my house for the next 30 years with no problem, and that is with keeping the door open on the fridge, the air condition set on 50, all the doors and windows wide open, and the water heater set to third degree burns!

Where is that quote from? What is this in reference too? What did I miss?
EDIT:
Oh, never mind. That was from the stormtrooper gun. Got it now. That is funny. If the thing fired at all, accuratge or not I would order one in the next second.

There are many different Parks Sabers handles. There are not that many different OT lightsaber handles. DO NOT CONFUSE parksabers with LICENSED sabers. Parks Sabers are NOT licensed. There's a reason the saber handles look almost like what you'd find in the prequels and OT. They are his own designs. There's also a reason they're called Parks Sabers all over that site and not lightsabers. He can't use the term lightsabers.
Even at the conventions, when people tell you about their Parks Sabers, they'll use the term Parks Saber. They do that because Jeff Parks (as well as others) has continuously informed them that they are Parks Sabers, not Lightsabers.

Kind of sad that our world is so full of this crap, where you have to word yourself a certain way to avoid a group of lawyers showing up at your door. Especially something that is such a lexicon of our language now, regardless of who came up with and licensed it. Hell, even my Dad knows instantly what I mean when I say "lightsaber" and he is far from what I'd consider a Star Wars fan.
