Wanted to post my video review for my Graflex, Chosen One, and Archon V2.1. Excellent Sabers all around. All are emeralds with non-illuminated AV switches. The Chosen One is the SE version, the other are the classic versions. The Graflex is Arctic blue with white FOC, the Chosen one is Red with yellow FOC, and the Archon is green with white FOC. I've also customised the Archon a little bit by adding a decorative control box. Here's the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUGiMhhQRtw |

Very nice. How did you put the box on the Archon saber? I'm getting myself a V3 next month in Consular Green probably with silver flash as well =] A friend of mine is making me tabbards and sash for a Luke inspired costume so. Did any of the box screws get in the way of say the Obsidian board set up and such? I probably wont do Emerald though for I have other stuff I'm wanting to get for my possible costume as well if its done on time. I must have all 3 of these though at some point  |

Yea, I was worried about the screws too, so I ended up gluing it on. It seems to be holding pretty well at the moment, but we'll see. I agree, all three of these are must haves for any original trilogy fan.
And it looks like the graflex will feature prominently in Episode 7, so that's another reason to have that one.

Very cool collection dude. I have two Graflex's myself, Arctic Blue and Arctic Blue Emerald.
But I'm right where you are regarding these hilt types. My next saber will probably be The Chosen One, followed by The Archon V3. I just love the green color on your Archon, best decision ever to give Luke that green color in RotJ.
As a Luke 'fanboy', I assume youonly want LS points. You just got one from me ;-)

Yea, I've always been torn between the two Luke Skywalker Sabers. On the one hand, I much prefer the hilt of the Graflex, on the other I like Green better than blue as a saber color. Seeing Luke ignite his green lightsaber and wipe out Jabba's goons is one of my favorite parts of ROTJ. Arctic blue has since edged out green as my favorite saber color. That's why I got emerald, so I could change to any color at any time.

Switch colors for non canon. Green Graflex and blue Archon Or Sun Rider's Destiny for Graflex to have both colors in a way =] |

If you think that's bad, I just switched my graflex to red to compare the standard mid grade blade and the ultra edge. A red graflex is the ultimate blasphemy.

Haha. I forgot that the Vader ROTJ saber was based on the Graflex.
