We can add another canon lightsaber hilt from TROS, question is who’s gonna make it?
I haven't seen the movie and honestly I do not care to see it either. I'm not paying to go to a movie theater to see what I personally consider and ( be surprised) others out there too, a disaster Trilogy. Does that make me a person without self respect and not a Star Wars fan? Of course not. I've chosen for myself to avoid these films at the theater, using my own decision making as a free thinking individual. If others like to pay to see it, that's fine, that's their choice and I don't think any less of them. I didn't know that in order to have pride and confidence in myself or behave with dignity or even be a "Star Wars Fan" meant having to see something I don't like. This name tagging used these days by some people towards others by putting them down if they don't like the same things they like isn’t a motive driven by reaction, it is a motive driven by the desire to have control over free thinking and individualism. I thought that, as a community of fans and collectors, every preference was accepted without resulting to name tagging. The signal this name tagging attitude sends out, same as in government, is that of a group of controllers and manipulators who feel entitled to treat others like they are above all. You are expected to jump through their hoops, as they push to convince you of your "lesser" values through the subtle message that something is "wrong" or "missing" with you, if you do not think like thy do. Personally, everything related to Episode IX can be talked about and shown.When are we free talk about the movie openly? Hasn't every self-respecting person who calls themselves a "Star Wars Fan" seen the new movie by now? I'll hide for now, but in addition to the Dark Rey double (which just doesn't warrant collecting consideration for me at this time) we have legitimately these new pieces to drool over....

Look, General Grievance, not everything is about you, but thanks for the reminder why so few people find it worthwhile to come around here anymore. I was merely attempting to share pixs and information about new props from the new movie. What are you contributing here?I haven't seen the movie and honestly I do not care to see it either.

Nothing is about me as you are trying to spin my comment. I simply spoke for myself and for others that feel the same way but are too afraid to say anything. But if you think it is all about me, then as someone in the medical field, you certainly have an issue and I would recommend you to visit a professional to help with your anger condition. I was not triggered by your comment but what it implies, how it is an attempt to put down those that do not subscribe to your way of thinking, and sir, that is not democratic at all.Look, General Grievance, not everything is about you, but thanks for the reminder why so few people find it worthwhile to come around here anymore.

My sentence wasn't meant as an indictment, a judgement, a fan litmus-test or to trigger you. If you dislike Disney's Star Wars and weren't gonna see this movie anyways, why would my comment even apply to you? And what are you even doing in this thread? To vent? To tell everyone how much you dislike a movie you have no plans on seeing? Is that how you're contributing to the community?
You've been around the board long enough to know better, and that's the saddest part. Now you've left me with no choice but to hit this newfangled "ignore" button concerning you. I encourage you to do the same to me, and hope you find peace within your "fandom" 'cause Disney Star Wars is not going away anytime soon.
I would be as well but at what price point would be a consideration as well to me Chris.If it would be confirmed that all sabers from the new Trilogy would be released I'd be in.
Chris
IMHO the Design is on point and you are 100% correct it should reflect the Jedi training and Jedi way and be similar to her brother's light saber. As to the color I think its more about royalty vs. sexist as I clearly stated above. However folks are free to draw their own conclusions. Regardless. Its a great looking saber that either a Prince or a Princess could wield if you think about it.Semantically, the design makes a lot of sense.. Since Luke was Leia's master, the obvious connections between Luke ROTJ and Leia lightsaber is justified. However, I think this is a funny choice of colour because it is very sexist! Lightsaber is a weapon not an iphone.. why would you have it in rose gold just because a woman is wielding it?![]()

doesn't make sense at all

we ALL are and delivering as well however, it may go the Disney store only route and at this point maybe it needs too. I am interested in the Chronicle Dark rey but the price is pretty high when its not a SE edition or electronic versionI am waiting for a 'miracle'. eFx losing the license to MR. Good old days!!!!!!!!!
Here Here! And it doesn't make anybody wrong. Simply go your own way.re: choosing not to see the new movie.
I grew up with Splinter of the Mind's eye and the original Marvel comics run -- back in 1978, everyone understood the difference between 'stories-by-George' and 'stories-by-NOT-George' -- the 'stories-by-George' were essential, and everything else was optional.
newsflash: George is not making SW anymore.... so, now EVERYTHING is 'stories-by-NOT-George'. (we used to call it "EU" but I understand most "fans" don't like than moniker, so I will try to avoid it).
and, yes, I know. Disney has sold us their new Trilogy as the "official continuation" of GL's life work ... but the simple fact remains: GL is no longer working; this Orwellian Double-Think, is technically impossible.
just imagine, if JJ's latest movie was sold to us as the "official continuation" of Alfred Hitchcock's life work (when Alfred Hithcock is no longer working); or Picasso's life work; or Leonardo DaVinci's FFS -- the very premise is absurd.
as "fans", we MUST accept the Sequel Trilogy for what it is (or it becomes impossible to enjoy it): we must accept it, in the SAME context as Splinter of the Mind's Eye, and the original Marvel Comics run. (which I enjoyed the hell out of, btw).
these materials "Expand Upon" GL's life work. they are all kinds of fun. for some, (myself included), they are an essential part of their SW experience .. for others, they are OPTIONAL.
a lot of people didn't bother to see the clone wars theatrical release... does this mean they are not SW fans!? (of course not). and by the same token, a lot of people didnt bother to see the new disney movie... does this mean they are not SW fans? (of course not).
these are "stories-by-NOT-George", and as such, they are "optional" -- they "Expand Upon" GL's life work -- they are all kinds of fun -- but they are NOT for everybody.
and that's OK.
I thought about that Chris but at that price point it should be there already. It might ALL go the Galaxy's Edge route.You can have a plaque made and get the signature directly from Daisy, that is what I am thinking to do. But I won't buy until these are delivered or in stock somewhere + we need all sabres from the new trilogy. Kylo, Leia, Luke repaired and Reys last one for sure. But since I am waiting for the Iron Man Direct Exclusive for (I forgot it already)... 7 years now I do not have any high hopes?
Chris
No but I saw one sell on Ebay a while back. It looked pretty good however, I will wait to see if Galaxy's edge will release it. It will look great next to my reforged Rey Skywalker saber and Ben solo saberAnyone have the version of Leia's saber made by Korbanth - ?
Is that considered to be the most accurate fan made version of the Ep9 Leia saber?Anyone have the version of Leia's saber made by Korbanth - ?
Which will make it tarnish over time...not sure how I feel about that. And is this belt clip/no D ring screen accurate?I am planning to pick up the one by Wondeful Sabers. That one actually in my honest opinion looks better than the Korbanth. It has a pearlized finish and the body is real copper.
Yes I have one - and I really like it, much more than I expected to. I also have one on order from KR Sabers which I anticipate will be more accurate - but the Korbanth is very nice. My plan is to get both, and display the more accurate one as a static prop and install the other one with a CFX that I have ready and waiting. I reckon the KR will be more accurate and will likely end up in the display case. The Korbanth is surprisingly nice in the hand - I was expecting the grips to feel a bit harsh, but they are perfectly rounded on the edges, and the saber has a pleasantly solid feel to it. I don't think I will miss the mother of pearl inlay on the grips if it ends up being the practical saber (the Korbanth has no mother of pearl grip inlay, the KR will - honestly though I don't miss it as much as I thought I would).Anyone have the version of Leia's saber made by Korbanth - ?
