Hi Firedrops :D
There was once a film director so-called George lucas that did a movie so-called star wars. ;D
The principal heroes of the movies are cabelleros knight jedi, his weapon particular are the lightsabers. ;D
Our friend George and company wondered:' who can we do the lightsaber for the movie? ' :o
then someone happened to extract of the camera called graflex the part of the flash called "Graflex flash gun 3 cell"
and to add him certain adornments/details to make it look like something different. :D
In the fantasy SW the lightsaber type remained established graflex, with a number of patent as it shows it in the begin of
the post.
At present replicas of this one sell to themselves 3cell flash gun so that fanatics as we could recreate the old lightsaber
created for the movie. If you are lucky you will find in Ebay some Graflex 3cell called 'vintage' that they are not replicas
of flashgun, they are flashes of 60 years old as that George used for the first time. ;)
At present the fans we equip the graflex with electronics to be able to recreate the sound and the light of the lightsaber,
the master of this art is our dear Master Yoda, Administrator of the fxsabers.
You do not worry, I was late more than you in understanding all this hahahaha ... my language is Spanish... ;D
Gaby!
