That is awesome! I've been wanting to do one of these myself, but more ANH style. The only thing holding me back is the measurement of the notches for the two halves/clamp. I can't get them to line up right...

Would you be willing to pass on that information?

I'm in awe.... that's just incredible! very well done! I love the Graflex saber anyway, and that's inspiring! 'Cause it's nearly impossible to get a graflex flash (replica or not) for under a hundred bucks! :(

Anyway Great job!!

Seeing as this has been ressurrected, how was the blade holder done, using the existing one?

My question exactly.^ I have wanted to do a sink tube vader ep3. the problem I have found is the blade holde and the tabs. Yours looks BA. Good job man.

i'm not sure what you're asking, the blade holder was an older 3/4" graflexshop blade holder that i cut the bottom off of and drilled out an opening big enough for the optic, then i screwed one of the TCSS heat-sinks into the bottom of it-not sure if that helps you or not

I can not find just the bunny ears if you have a direction for me to go let me know.

Waow. I love sabers like these that use sinktubes and Dremelfu to create an endproduct that looks...well...nothing like a sinktube saber. Great work!
