Description

The first signature edition that Master Replicas released was this dual signed lightsaber by James Earl Jones and David Prowse. Master Replicas was given direct access to original source materials from the LucasFilm archives to allow their engineers to recreate every last detail of the original prop. Vader's saber in A New Hope was made from a graflex camera flash gun, accented with black grips, black emitter shroud, and black control box to distinguish it as a true dark side weapon. This prop would ultimately be changed for episode 5 and completely reengineered for episode 6. Signature Edition 515/1000.
