Designed with cues from both the in game shots and the original concept art, and powered by the best lightsaber electronics in the world, this is the Starkiller by which all others will be judged by. What we ended up with was a run of 25 sabers designed from the bottom up to be a functional, accurate, and realistic piece of art. I sent him a rough Paint sketch of what I wanted and through many back and forth conversations, he brought forth his engineering prowess and CNC godliness to make it happen. He agreed to the monemental task of bending such sheer amount of metal to his will to make my vision a reality. It was at this time that I went to Erik of Orbital Machining and told him of my plight. It was also becoming apparent that our original vision of what we could handle on our own with manual machines was not going to be enough for the growing list of interested people. As time went on our interest list for our supposedly secret project was growing. Very thin layers of tubing glued togther and not very accurate to the game shots or concept art, we now we knew what NOT to do with our run. We were one of the lucky few to actually recieve ours from him. During this time MachinedFX (aka tatoosby5 on ebay) was well on his way to scamming hundreds of unsuspecting buyers out their money by not delivering his sub-par product. So we began the process of planning a small run. Needless to say, I immediately wanted this saber, but more than that I wanted to MAKE this saber, and I wanted to make the best one ever to be made. It also had something that at the time was relegated to photos in the visual dictionaries and comic books: an exposed crystal chamber.

It was dirty, used, and had elements from classic lightsabers seen in the original trilogy of movies. Thanks for reading.įrom Dream to Reality: The Ultimate Starkiller replica lightsaber.īack in 2008, when The Force Unleashed video game concept art and photos were shown, the first thing that caught my eye as a 'saber freak was of course Starkiller's lightsaber. This post will also make it's way over to the RPF to honor both Ace and Erv', as such, there is some basic explanations that I know you all know, so just bear with me. Hell just making this post took two hours With our exhaustive backlog, and the fact that I usually suck at making build logs and remembering to take photos, this took a while to do. I haven't posted the Starkiller here, cause I wanted to make the post complete, with a build log and everything.
