OPJ2Description
An original production-made lightsaber, cast from the molds of a touring lightsaber, from the production of the film Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (Lucasfilm Ltd., 1983). This lightsaber is composed of a cast resin, cast aluminum, metal allen key, and features gold/copper-tone detailing near the emitter at the end of the lightsaber. There are two hero versions of Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, the one known as the "cave-build" lightsaber, and one known as the "ISYHCANL" lightsaber. As noted by The Lightsaber Prop Guidebook, written and designed by Seth M. Sherwood, "the cave-build is the version first seen in the Archives book and was subsequently used as the base for resin copies given to exhibition and the basis for most toys and official replicas." The coloring of this lightsaber matches the lightsaber that was used on-screen at the Yuma filming location, but there are differences between that mold and the mold that was used to create this lightsaber. This lightsaber additionally matches a touring lightsaber from the production Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (20th Century Fox, 1983) from the Lucasfilm Archives. The lightsaber is housed in an acrylic display case on a clear stand.Use
