The Clone Warrior

The Clone Warrior is a replica of one of those mystery props from Hollywood urban legends. Like missing endings to your favorite films. Like alternate versions on 70mm, with different sound tracks. This prop replica is from an alternate reality, Space Fantasy, which was meant to be in 2003 but ended up on the cutting room floor. The story goes, in 2003 when George was planning on how to wrap his sequel trilogy, he initially planned to have a sub-plot in Revenge, where General McGregor loses his Phantom Clones lightsaber and replaces it by building his New Hope saber on screen. When I initially heard this—before Revenge was released—I was incredibly excited to see a lightsaber-building scene. I imagined it so many times in anticipation of the film's release. Alas, it was not to be. The subplot was dropped, and that's why you never saw the Phantom and Clones saber on screen in Revenge. However, we do have some BTS images showing this style of saber on set, and we know about the prop used in these scenes from the recent Nick Gillard prop auctions on Propstore and from the sabers that have toured with the traveling exhibits in recent years. So, a few years back, with the help of some friends on the RPF, I set out to design and produce this mystery prop (which fans call the salt shaker due to its idiosyncratic emitter design) and offer it up in a very limited run to the RPF community.

Thanks so much for all the help of the board. I especially want to thank Dewy for doing his amazing overlays and photo analysis for me. Finally, after a couple of years of development and production, we're ready to go. Check out the video breakdown I did with my buddy Halliwax.

The hilt will come as a kit, machined from aluminum, brass, and copper. It is fully installable with hidden holes for blade retention. It is a 100% accurate replica of the Revenge prop. But if you are more partial to how this style saber looked when it appeared in Clones, I'm also including a conversion kit (consisting of an alternate emitter, an alternate pommel cap, an alternate female knurl red button, and alternate LED bezels), which will allow you to display your hilt in Clones configuration.
 
It's fully cnc'd from 6061 aluminum, copper, and brass buttons, found parts steel chrome led bezels and new production old tooling Covertec belt wheels. There are four different emitter caps and three different pommels for fx-ing, sound venting, and alternate accurate configurations. It will require some basic hobby skills for assembly.
