These are divided into two categories commonly referred to in the industry as â??heroâ? and â??stuntâ?. Hero props are made for close ups and promotional pictures which require a more beauty shot of the prop. Often they are featured with the main characters while stunt versions are used for the â??extrasâ? in the background. Most of the time when a lightsaber is ignited on screen, it is a stunt version of the hilt. These props are usually cast in resin from the hero prop and then painted to look just like the hero prop. They are lighter and easier to wield while filming the exciting lightsaber duels and action scenes. In the case of the stunt lightsabers, there is usually a rod attached to the hilt so that the actors can actually duel and make contact with the blades. These rods are also invaluable reference points for the special effects technicians to later digitally add in the signature glows of the lightsaber blades. This stunt lightsaber is a faithful replica of the hero prop used in the Star Wars movies and comes with a unique lightsaber and plaque stand to display your lightsaber. 12"L X 1-1/2" Diameter

* Makes a great gift * Perfect for display * Brand new in manufacturer packaging * *The stunt sabers were generally made out of resin and would be used by the actors during the filming of the action and fight scenes of the movie. Up until now these stunt sabers have been given very little attention by the prop replica community, but eFX has decided to honor these often forgotten heroes of film making history by producing a line of high quality, exact 1:1 replicas of the stunt sabers.
