Can We Build It?

[Jedi_Knight_Zekk]

I just thought I'd put this out there. Can we build this TOR saber? It's the one used by Master Orgus.

I know, I've been noodling with some plans for something similar down the road. I'm wondering about some MHS equivalents too

[mrknify]

the wood, can be done on chokes.... out of wood, or leather. Now the leather would need to be cuir-boille, unless you know how to do it.. don't but it looks awesome.
the plates, you could make a cast for them, or scribe some steel. again not that hard to do (easier if you have a rotating engraving machine.) for the most part the handle and parts have mhs equavalents(i can spell really.)

The picture has SlothFurnace's logo in the bottom corner, so I would assume that he built it. There's quite possibly already a build log posted here by Sloth for this saber.

He didn't; that one was gifted to him by someone from BioWare IIRC. The picture has since turned up everywhere, including on sabers being sold on Ebay.

[DarkarNights]

Cool, so I'm guessing the saber is just a static prop "statue" saber that Bioware had made and has no electronics? This would be a pretty epic build to produce a functional one that looks identical to the original.

I think that's what Sloth said about it, yeah... the question did come up though as to whether it might be convertible and whether or not Sloth might want to do so but I'm not sure where that stands.

[Vlad Doon]

I guess he will convert (or is currently converting) this static. In one of its graflex stock, you can see this hilt standing on the left standing out of its display stand next to spare parts ???????

[Jedi_Knight_Zekk]

Well, I know very little of what Sloth is up to right now/ doing with his sabers as I've been gone for quite some time, but... I would very much like to see this become a functional saber with sound, LED, etc. I may even go as far as buying it should one of the better saber smiths get ahold of this for a project. I think the one thing we can say for certain is that this is a very cool looking saber, and would be a fine addition to anyone's collection. If anyone has any more information, please feel free to post it.

No, that can't be possible. One person is only allowed so much frickin' COOL in their lifetimes, and he's already a master electrician AND craftsman. I suppose you're going to tell me Ferrari race drivers consult with him for driving tips too, when he's not busy making all the ladies swoon, scream, and faint?

...seriously, I'm not jealous or anything. :p

[Lawrs1]

Put this way in The Old Republic when you first create your saber, that is Sloth's Crystal Chamber setup that is used.

[Sunrider]

People have been selling those on Ebay, so get one and convert it. ;)

Errrr I do now... I mean yes of course I knew that.

[DarkarNights]

At the current prices of $2,500 to $3,500 it would be cheaper to build it from scratch.

[Vlad Doon]

Unfortunatly, these sabers are limited series and are not for sale. I believe they were gifts for SWTOR crew (??).

Oups...Someone already mentionned it... :oops:

[DarkarNights]

I'm actually amazed anyone who worked on the game and got one of those sabers would sell it, if I had a saber that rare and that beautiful it's staying with me till the grave lol.

[xl97]

I believe he mentioned he got 2?

one was his.. and another one.. (maybe was slightly damaged or something IIRC) was from another employee.

I'll admit it; I am...
