Congrats on another beauty Dave.

That is the most beautiful Negotiator ever created for sure.
Jango is working on upgrading my "Antioch" Obi TPM reveal saber, and I could only hope it will be half as beautiful as this.
Yoda always seems to out do himself.

Hello everyone

C-3P0 what can I say but only a protocol Driod of the highest level can deliver such a spectacular review :)
I thank you for it and am truly humbled by your appreciation for what I do and have done for this and
the other Negotiators I've done since I started doing them 8) many moons ago :D

All I can say is I'm a simple Artist trying to make my way through the universe and when I can do something
that touches others like yourself in such a way that it fuels you to make such a wonderfully descriptive
story about the saber (in your current condition) it helps remind me why I keep doing all this ;D

I'm very glad you have acquired this and can certainly see it has gone to the right owner, so I hope it will
serve your collection proudly for years and years to come.

As 3P0 pointed out this was my prototype using the last of my original hilts upgraded with the CF6 and developing
some internal technologies that will trickle down into future sabers.

I had also mentioned to 3P0 "its been a while" since I could consider doing more Negotiators again...
So I won't give away any details just yet but I am working on having some New Negotiators available for 2013.

Thanks everyone for the kind words :) I'm glad this saber is getting the attention it deserves here on FX thus far!

Thank you very much Master Yoda for the compliments on the review, I'm glad you (and everyone else so far it seems) is enjoying reading it. It was quite the struggle to complete this review right now, that's for sure :D

It's really amazing that this is the last of the original hilts...EVER, as they aren't being made anymore. It makes it all that much more special to be able to own this masterpiece.

Now let's carry on with the discussion of this amazing saber!

3P0 Now that you have it in hand, how do you like the amethyst Cabochon that is tucked down inside the valve stem?
I thought it would tie it in better to the TPM while retaining more of the look of the AOTC part.

Its nearly impossible to get a pic/shot if it down in there but its one of those in-person things that I feel make sense
especially when on display next to a TPM ;)

Ha, it's funny you should say that you can't really see it in the pictures, but rather in person, as I was basically typing the review up with the pictures in front of me instead of the actual saber...that explains why I didn't really mention it :D

It really is tucked away in there, isn't it! It really does look stunning in person, like you said it's great that it sticks to the ep 2 look of the hilt, yet manages to sparkle nicely next to the TPM version, giving it a nod to that design too. It's great too, because in my display cabinet I have an internal light, so when that's turned on everything it lit up incredibly brightly and you can see it in all it's glory :) there are also mirrors coming from the back, so you can see it along with the chamber being revealed out the front of the cabinet.

I will admit though to sometimes not noticing it right away due to being magnetized to the crystal chassis :D

Okay cool, I wasn't sure if you caught that as it is a white LED and the natural color of the stone making it that purple tone.
The other White LED in there illuminates the crystal monitor and the cf board.
I figured the CF is exposed but cradled in such a way that is made sense to light it up and show off the SD access that has
always been there but now is back lit ;D

I'm glad your liking that extended Crystal chamber and Illuminated power cell.
I normally run wires through there but this time it had to remain clear so "that was fun" but it worked out well :)
Because of the refractive nature of the material I used to make the power cell effect it has that laser core look to it similar to
the corbin film for blades look but it is much clearer and more precise as it is an actual type of lens material so the shape is
embossed/extruded which I felt lent to the look of a mini exposed nuclear reactor core. (well at least as is portrayed in some movies)

Again something that is better seen in person but that has been a hallmark of mine that it looks good in the pictures
but in person has even more to really look at and I strive to continue that  8)


The display sounds awesome and please take some pics updated (when your feeling better) with the two hilts in there  ;D

I'll talk to ya soon and thank you again

Hey wait a sec, how is it possible that a replica of my saber is NICER than my actual saber?   :D  Not cool!   ;D

Spectacular review of a truly spectacular saber, and by far Yoda's nicest Negotiator, and dare I say maybe even his nicest saber to date....

Congrats Dave!

Spectacular review droid, and an awesome piece to the collection!
