Stunt sabers
Hey Guys,
I have not been here in a while so hi!!
Anywho! I was wondering if anybody has done a hasbro conversion? or a Hasbro stunt saber conversion out of Hasbro?? if you have can you tell me how? I am making a movie and want a cheap stunt saber.... Thanks!
Do you mean replacing the oversized Hasbro blade with a 1 inch PolyC blade or do you mean taking out the incandescent bulb and throwing in a Luxeon?
I am a bit confused to what kind of stunt saber you want. You can make movie props out of PVC or wood and what cheaper then using a Hasbro and converting it. Pretty much all the good lightsaber stuff comes in the editing.

carbon fiber wouldn't be as good or cheap as polyC
you would need to have a custom blade holder installed in it to do this, and you would give up the lighted blade unless you had tim make you one with a led holder. it really wouldn't be worth all the work. just get a basic MHS for all of 70 to 80 dollars and it will last forever

Ok gotcha.
Sorry can't help ya there. But if you ever want to do a 3w white Lux...
If that is what you want though it really doesn't seem like that hard of a task.

They used "CFiber" Rods in the films.
They should have used the LUX & PolyC setup. They probably wouldn't have had to rotoscope some of their scenes and they would have the effect of the saber lighting everything around it on every scene, not just when Count Dooku and Anakin duke it out at the end of Ep II.
That part pissed me off to no end. I really wanted to see them fighting instead of the crappy "oh lets stick the camera in there, DER DER DER!"
But no they had to lead that one up to yoda and count. I figured if they actually showed the fight it would of been better than the count/yoda fight so thats why they did it.
and even then the count and yoda fight wasent all the great.
all yoda did was bounce around. if you put it in slow motion, you see that he only hits dooku's saber like 5 times
