Graflex Lightsaber DIY Empty Hilt FX Kit - Luke Skywalker Inspired Prop Replica Kit

Now available on The Saber Armory here: https://tinyurl.com/ebz7c64h

Here we have the latest and much anticipated DIY hilt from KR Sabers, One Replicas and WannaWanga - the Graflex Saber Kit!

Over 3 years in development, our plan for this kit was to create an ideal entry-level kit for beginners to start their lightsaber building journey, and what better way to do so than with the original lightsaber!

It all started in 1976 when Roger Christian, a Star Wars Set Decorator, went down to a photography store in London, looking for something he could make the lightsaber out of. Inside a forgotten box, pointed out by the store owner, he found some flashguns for Graflex "Speed Graphics" Cameras, and instantly knew he had found it!

He bought the lot and raced back to the studios, into his set decorating room where he kept all kinds of things. He took 7 pieces of some black T-shaped plastic strips and put them on the flashgun as handles. In the clamp, he put a bubble strip from a calculator he had broken down, a Texas Instruments Exactra 19 from 1974.

When he handed it to George Lucas, he just held it… And smiled...
