Luke Skywalker Saber ESB version


Graflex 3-Cell flash handle modified for ESB
Although no reference was made in the movie, Luke's saber changed slightly
for the filming of ESB. The prop was still based on the Graflex 3-Cell flash handle, but a
few modifications were made.
- The LED display lens was replaced with an edge connector from an old circuit board
- The grips were shaped differently and attached with rivets or screws
- Part of a Linhof flash unit was adapted for the belt clip
- An extra red button filled the original Graflex test lamp's socket
- A type of embossed chrome tape was used in place of the smooth ANH version
