Well, I have a couple more questions.
First, are the grips on the Graflex, and Chosen One glued on, or is there another method being used to attach them?
I just want to know if there is any chance of them falling off.
Second, I was reading some of the saber descriptions and came accross the Malice Square Pommel, and was wondering, what makes it square?
Finally, which blade type is best for video, and photos?
I think the Chosen One grip is all metal, and I'd assume the Graflex is the same. I could be wrong, I own neither. However, the Hasbro and movie versions would have rubber T- Tracks or something similar instead of metal. |

The grip on the Graflex are hard black plastic actually, not metal nor rubber. Mine doesn't show any glue residue and all the grip strips aligned perfectly straight. But can't really tell how they are fastened onto the hilt. |

What could I ask US to do to the Prophecy to make it look more like the Episode 2 version?
I was thinking of asking them if they would be willing to modify the Prophecy for me. I've seen videos in the past of them modifying sabers for customers.
I was thinking of asking them to create the hilt without the lower grips, but instead adding six of the same style grips used on the Chosen One, or Graflex. Then I was thinking, a silver or black activation box would be awesome.
What do you guys think?

I think you should just buy a Graflex.

I am buying a Graflex and Chosen One, because I want to have all of the Skywalker sabers. I just want all of them to be as close to the movie versions as possible, without being copies. |

The full blade brightness of the white film UE are the best for photos, videos and dimmer lighting. So the standard MG and HG should appear less intense with more core blade illumination.  |

I'm asking about the blades because I'm working on an independent film based around glowing sabers, and my animation contact recommended that the blades be as dim as possible. Because he feels we will have to animate over the blades anyway, and having too much light will wash out the rest of the image. We just need enough light to aluminate the actors faces, but not the entire scene.
The Heavy Grade blades sound the best for what I need. Especially since they can take a beating.
I'm in the process of writing the screenplay right now, and figuring out all of the costumes, props, lights, locations, etc. I'm also realizing this project is going to cost a pretty pennie.
So I'll ask those of you that follow this thread. Would you be interested in seeing a film based on iluminated sabers, with a sort of Knights of the ROund Table feel?
This film would be a YouTube exclusive.

If your goal is to get a specific brightness level, Emerald would be very helpful. It's bad on the budget, but it's the only way to carefully control the brightness level of an Ultrasaber.

I'm attempting to figure out how to shoot the US sabers in a film without blowing out the image on camera. Any suggestions?

The grips and clamp you're probably thinking of using for a prophecy/episode 2 clone can be easily obtained either on EBay, or "certain other websites that deal in custom saber parts"

I have a few more quick questions.
1. Can the clamps and other add ons be purchased from the Custom Saber Shop?
2. Can the Prophecy have Emerald, and Sound?
3. Can I get the Liberator or Standard Issue with Emerald and Sound?
Hope everyones 2016 is treating them good.

For the Prophecies, Liberators and Standard Issues you can have Emerald or sound, not both at the same time.

Is it possible to get a saber with just the Emerald driver, and have it do the flash on clash?
