ESB E11

Recommended Posts

I've been informed some folk think the snowtrooper resin stunt (promo E11 not seen in the film) isn't used by any TK in ESB

 

Well here's 2 shots that show that it was

There are loads of TKs in the chamber scene that are holding one

 

The one pointing an E11 at Leia when they lower Han in.

The one who walks behind Chewie as they enter the chamber.

The one to the right innscreen behind Vader as he says 'He's all yours'

 

Im not sure why some think they weren't used by normal TK....

Anything sticking up of the E11 scope rail, is the stunt.

So let's discuss :)

 

PS: the best lit shot is the one walking with Lando and Jeremy is the easiest to see (just before he grabs Leia)

*NB it is missing the 3 dots but does have the scope rail add ons

There's no denying that guy behind Landon has greeblies on his scope rail. On my screen I just can't make anything out on the trooper next to Vader. This blaster issue is never gonna be solved! Damn you George Lucas why couldn't you have a kept a closer eye on prop consistency!

But yes, the one behind Lando plain as day has a greeblied up scope rail :)

Agreed!

But, do you also know that's Jeremy Bulloch walking next to Lando! Hmmm... did ya? Hmmmm?

Yes I knew that was Mr B. Think I mention it above so you'd know where to look.

Proves I don't actually read any of this. :P hahaha

Very different to the E11 above...kind of :)

Very cool E11! What/who's version is this?

And yes, very different... sort of...

Yes, all sci-fire are urethane/foam.

I was asking about the one John posted a pic of. B)

 

Side Note (i.e., derailing): Benji, the word "Its" in your signature image needs an apostrophe. It should be "It's". That is if you want to be correct. B)

Ah, but maybe I was wrong? Lol

I dont categorically know that scifire don't make resin stuff :)

Well, as far as that goes, I could be too... but I think they only make urethane.

ESB blasters with those greeblies are actually resin plastic toys on the set of the film.

 

so having a resin blaster of the ESB type is completely screen accurate.

 

the sci fire is ROTJ. it's foam over a carbon rod.

 

you can clearly see the ESB greeblie stunt in ESB, and they all were resin props.

 

as far as "prop consistency" and "poor old george" actually what sets STAR WARS and all the films

 

apart from each other is the subtle changes made, which illustrate the passage of time and the progress

 

of weapons and armor in the empire.

 

it's all these changes that make the hobby fun for me!

Or this one thats in the promo but thought only to be in the hands of TS

My point of this post is TKs clearly hold them too

Watch this scene and click pause just before this frame

TK clearly has the greeblie ESB resin stunt version

I love the greeblies. Not sure about the solid scope rail.

 

On another note: is that scope on the sci fire gun accurate? Even for ROTJ? It looks weird...

john's thread here is a perfect example of the greeblie ESB stunt blaster. every single detail is perfect.

 

the design was taken from an actual screen used replica that was originally offered by "pugman"

 

Tango 'd fett has the parts available for making them.

 

Sci-Fire weapons, while close to accurate, are not the best representation of the accuracy of the prop that john is showcasing here.

 

The Sci- Fire ROTJ could be a tad bit better...
