Ben kenobi's Luke anh saber review.
« on: October 05, 2007, 06:07:18 PM »
 ;D

Ok guys there is so much that I want to say;but,I'll try to make it a tad short and to the point.First of all I'm looking at this saber at another level.I'm going to judge this saber at what I'm seeing and not what i'm expecting to see.One can not judge this at yoda's craftmanship's level because it would not be right or fair to masterrplicas lol.
    Ok let's start by this pic.


To me masterreplicas has done a great job with this saber.This saber to me is as close to scale as it could be.It has a clean look to it.


as you can see the saber above is a luke esb and the saber below is a luke anh saber.To me this proves it's closer to scale than the luke esb.I think that masterrplicas has done a great job on bringing this saber close to scale.



Now this feature brought tears to my eyes.The on/off switch.Do you know this feature alone is too cool by itself!!This is how the on/off switch was ment to be!!

Here are the pro and cons of this saber.
Cons--
1.It creaks----that's not a big deal to me because all I have to do is convert this bad boy to a luexeon saber with a metal blade holder and this will take care of this.
2.Plastic blade holder----again I'll do this as I said above and this will take care of both problems.

Pros---
1.Just can't get over the off/on switch.Loveee it.
2.It's two shades louder than the luke esb saber.
3.I love the lightness of this saber.A saber don't have to weigh a ton to be cool!!
4.The grips are just right for this saber.
5.i love the kind of metal that they used.
    To me it has more pro's than cons for this saber.Last night when i got this saber I played with this for two hours lol.When this 48 year old man opened this box i had tears in my eyes.I for a moment felt like the 18 year old teen who was watching starwars for the first time and saw this saber.Guys---It does not get better than this except a graflix of coarse from master yoda.
     I know they have a lot of saber smiths out there who could make a better saber;but, for this old man it made me feel young again and made my heart happy.


Here is a picture of me playing with this saber as soon as i got home from work lol :D :D
May the force be with all of you thoughout the year!! ;D ;)

Nice review,  and I'm glad you like it...30 years would be a long time to wait for a saber that didn't impress you.

Great review there Ben.  I am glad to hear that you are happy with your saber.  I know how much you wanted this saber and how anxious you were about it after some of the reviews.  But all that matters is that you like it.

I am glad it all worked out for you.

LOL...glad you liked it my friend. :)

I've waited 27 years for the Yoda made ESB saber that I have, so I know how you feel. ;)

2010...I certainly hope it's better than 2009 was! ::)
10/10/10~Well, so far with my Father's passing away, I'd say that this year was actually worse than 2009, even the fact that I now have a full time job (For now) isn't anywhere near enough to make up for that...so...maybe 2011 will be better? I'm not holding my breath... ::)

Peace be upon all,

"I appreciate anything that makes noise and lights up "
I just love that statement and totally agree -wait- except for my alarm clock >:(
Once again, great review Ben! Your joy is our joy and it can be felt even through the computer screen.

I sure would love to own a custom version of this with Sun Riders Destiny and UltaSound! To be able to wear this hilt would be awesome!
Even though I sent mine back (I found two major defects after my review), I could not resist posing for a few photos with this unmistakable  hilt  8)
