This saber is being revealed for the first time. Back in 1981 when episode VI was in production, the DV sabers from Episode V were missing. That’s why the episode V vs ep VI sabers look different. An entirely new one was constructed using the original Graflex Roger created. It was a last minute effort to put something together, as Roger explains in the unboxing video.
Roger Christian who designed and created that first Graflex saber for George Lucas in 1976, and used the MPP for DV’s, was directing 2nd unit on Episode VI. He says that if he was the Set Decorator on VI as he was for IV, the opportunity to use an original design more compatible with the iconic villain was sadly missed, just as Luke’s was changed from V to VI, so would The Father’s in Roger’s design you see here today all these years later.
With the help of Theory Sabers and TXQ, THIS is the design that could have happened back then, a piece of history that comes from an old time.
Added bonus - of those 500 Limited Edition signed plaques by Roger, 5 are signed in red ink. This will get you a call with Roger himself OR a signed copy of his new book, with an endorsement forward by George Lucas.
Designed meticulously by Roger Christian and inspired by Ralph McQuarrie, The FATHER is presented to you today by Theory Sabers and Roger Christian.
Be one of only 500 to ever have this in the world.
