so uh, you really think its the original?

comments, thoughts?

 

Hmmmm. ;) Perhaps. I would think Lucasfilm made more then one of these props for the filming. It could be one of the originals. Although, how hard is it these days to pick up a MR and drag it behind a car a bit to "weather" it.......

LFL says its an original so that's enough for me.

Yeah Ed, I don't think LFL would send an MR into space <_<

I think it is way cool awesome. I would have to think that if they say it's one of the actual props then I have little doubt that it is.

Yea, I believe it's an original. I think it's pretty cool too, to send an original lightsaber into space.

Sure is. In August, we escorted the saber through Hobby Airport here in Houston after it's arrival

Here's me holding the saber in its case during the press conference:

Here is a look at the saber in it's case that day:

And here it is on display at Space Center- shiny!:

SCH had a Star Wars day on Dec 8th and had us out. We were a hit- SCH said their usual gate on a good Saturday is about 1800 people and with us there (they even featured us in a series of TV spots), their attendance was over 4000! Needless to say they were very appreciative and are already scheduling more events and working with LFL on a full exhibit of SW artifacts.
