Lightsaber is a popular item to appear in various CMs. This is from Hazbro which is a toy maker.


Duracell, a battery maker, also uses a lightsaber to show the power of the battery.


Hasbro again, there are various types of lightsabers.


In "Toys" R ", a child who holds a lightsaber in the store appeared.


Brian Bishop is approaching this lightsaber.


Bishop himself owns several copies of the lightsaber.


However, among those, the person who is producing high quality things in particular is a person called "Yoda" at the website · FX-Sabers forum. In the movie Master Yoda lived on the planet Dagoba, but this "Yoda" lives in Roseville, California.


Mr. Yoda, Michael Murphy.


Mr. Murphy had a time when he was unable to go out because he was suffering from medical injury in 2005 and he could not work. At this time I started to use the net, I learned the existence of a company called "Master Replica" who is producing and selling copies of the lightsaber. Mr. Murphy, who began repairing the broken lightsaber of the master / replica, eventually became a celebrity in the forum and walked the way of a lightsaber craftsman.


Speaking of lightsaber, crystal is used as energy source in setting.


This is an invisible part, it is not necessary to actually use crystals, but Murphy stuck here also sticking.


It is creating products that will encourage fans.


Even in such a product, the value of $ 15,000 (about 1.62 million yen) will be attached to eBay of the auction site.


In the movie, you can see only a part of how Murphy is making a lightsaber.








Mr. Bishop confronts the finished product over several weeks.


It was made by Luke Skywalker's lightsaber. For now it is a super-major work saying "Star Wars", but when the first episode 4 was created the budget was not so abundant, so X-wing fighters and blasters that appear in the works, It was made by diverting parts of the plastic model. Similarly to the lightsaber, the production was difficult and the company served as the equipment managerRoger ChristianButGraphlexThe Flash part of the camera and the Texas Instruments calculator etc and used it. That atmosphere is beautifully reproduced.


Bishop, who took in his hand, got into its beauty.


When it starts, "Bunun ......" familiar sound.


I will hear a sound like Shunshun when I swing.


Bishop as if I returned at the age of seven. Looking at that figure, Murphy seems to be happy.


By the way, it seems that flash of material Graphrex is goods of the 1930s - 40s, Star Wars fans buy fishing so that camera fans indignantly, they are not very cheap and can not be obtained. It was said that the completed lightsaber was $ 15,000, but it seems that it is still never expensive.


Daisy Ridley, a role of Rei who used Luke's lightsaber at "Star Wars / Force's Awakening", celebrates birthday on April 10 (Sunday) and is celebrated by Mark Hamill of Luke.
