With the release of the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+, we thought it would be a good time to visit our friends at SaberMach - www.sabermach.com
They had on hand an Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber which was painstakingly recreated from all the various parts seen in the original 1977 movie (Star Wars: A New Hope). Assembling the Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber was not an easy task as it features many hard-to-acquire parts.
Apart from the Obi-Wan Kenobi saber, we had a chance to experience the SaberMach premises and check out what they are up to!

I’m sorry but he’s incorrect, there are way more than 10. That all real parts Obi-Wan lightsaber consists of a female balance pipe. There have been 5 jet engines found with the correct balance pipe and a handful of NOS pipes found. Each engine consists of nine female balance pipes. The female balance pipe is by far the most expensive hard to acquire part. So that makes 45 total possible Obi-wan real parts lightsaber if the rest of the parts are found and I’m betting most of those people have the rest of the parts because I know most of them including myself. If you want more info I’d suggest joining the RPF or Replica Prop Forum. There is a huge thread about the subject by some very educated people.

I wonder if we'll see Obi Wan change the ignition switches to the bubble switches on his own and Anakin's. I know, it's a small detail that I've been over thinking LOL.

All those parts were researched and ID by the RPF forums people more than 15 years years ago. It would be nice and respectful to mention the sources, as they did all the job. Many RPF's had replicas as good as this one. Of course, they researched and spent good money them for years before finding the correct pieces.

WW 1 was from a time well before my era. It's rather confusing to see so many claims of using original parts. Historical images of the MK British rifle grenade samples I have been able to find are all made from brass between the wind vane and the emitter, yet there are so many claims of being "Original Replicas" when a lot of them are obviously made of copper and the brass windvane is stamped with a company logo " The Cotton Powder Company, LTD " ?

No, you can not fight with Neopixel-blades! The LEDs will start to die and with a price of 100 to 150 Dollar, that would be a pretty expensive fight.

Well Sabermach does have a saber team that duels and battles regularly and they seem to hold up

@hidicproductions4849 Жыл бұрын

@@GeekCulture Seems like an false advertisement to me. I am in the German saber community and everyone says, that Neopixel will never survive a duel. Look at the blade in the video. There are several dark spots. These are the parts, where the LEDs die down. Neopixel is not for fighting, if you do, you will regret it.

With all these original parts put together this is what we were told. I would tend to agree with Jay as he is pretty invested into this and it took him years to find all the necessary parts, working with collectors and on a number of forums

@afriayub1374 2 жыл бұрын

There are many in the world. But not as many with the complete 100% found parts, with accurate alignments for every detail.

@Backtothehat 5 ай бұрын

Ok, so it’s not the actual prop used in the movie. This dude tracked down all the original parts used to make the prop and put it together himself. Sort of like building a Lego set by tracking down the parts instead of buying the actual set arranged, packaged and sold by Lego. I get the original parts are rare finds, and putting it together is really cool. But I would not call any of these items “the holy grail”. They are not the actual movie props.

@_Synt4x3rr0r Жыл бұрын

Omg this video makes me soo angry. Why you had to do this? 1:20 less than 10? Like yours? Come on...Also I am pretty sure his washers are not accurate because we still did not identify where they came from. Also the transistors are not supposed to be DAT11, you CANNOT see the DAT on the reference photos! They are supposed to be MAxx, most probably MA09 which was found in another calculator. So this lightsaber is NOT the holy grail, NOT 100% accurate. I won't even watch the whole video, to listen more bullshit because this is just false.

@-007-2 Жыл бұрын

Yeah I wouldn't call it the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail would be the screen used hero prop.

This video is BS. There are a lot more than 10 in the world. The parts are rare and not that easy to come by, but not impossible. I’ve made three of them in the last five years.
