TXQ Luke BOBF Pommel Upgrade
Last year, after Luke showed up on the BOBF, I sat down and deisgned a replica of the laser sword that he uses as he trains his new aprentice. This saber was inspired by his Return hilt, but differed in many subtle ways from the hero design. I gave these designs to TXQ sabers, who went on to produce a number of fantastic fx runs of this prop. Since then, I've seen the hilt appear in various outlets being resold through a number of different dealerships across the world. Although TXQ did a great job machining these hilts, their enginners made some changes to the pommel, which differed from my original design and from the original prop. In particular, they rounded off the recesses in between the pommel cubes, and--depending on which version you bought--added sound venting to the bottom with might not too conspicuous for your taste.
So, I've decided to produce a limited number of pommel replacements, which will fit on all the TXQ BOBF Luke sabers and allow you to replicate the original design as it was intended. These pommels come in three parts and when screwed together feature a solid pommel cap and also clockable pommel cubes--allowing you to position the tri-ring in whichever position you choose.
The pommels are machined from 6061 aluminum and will come with a new accurate tri-ring--that builders will have to install.
