It's my second favorite of them all for the reasons you have described. It's over all arguably the best force fx yet.

If only the sounds were accurate It would be spot on, of course I guess that goes for them all. Although it is the same recycled jedi sounds ::), they sound ok. The muffled tone that this saber has sounds more realistic then the crisp, sharp sounds of the Obi-wan, with the exception of the ignition sound. Another thing is the on-off switch. It is nice that MR utilized the real switch instead of having it for decoration. I was kind of dissapointed that the Anakin's switch was the "clamp lever" if you can call it a lever.

So I took some nail polish remover to the "copper" paint. The silver looks better and the neck looks smaller. Looks much much better.

Yes, both versions use 6-cell battery packs.

Small update.

Well its been awhile now and It is still my favorite saber.

I decided to clean it up, so I broke out the Meguriars Gold Class Car Wax, and let me tell you. This thing was dirty. After 4 hours of waxing, 3 size 13 tube socks(inside and out) and a 1/5 of wax I have it to an almost mirror finish. If you look at the photos of a polished JSS Hero Luke, yeah it looks like that. Its pretty hot!!!

Thanks... and the saber still rocks. Even more so since its an As First Built, V2. Check it out on the ROTJ V2 board in saber modifications.

Equinox is supposed to be coming out with a thin neck modification or somthing to that effect for these so it will be pretty cool.

There is my V2. I painted it all black because, when you see the shots in the movie, it was black but its all "weathered" so I figured that is what it would look like new.

Sorry R2, I don't have any pictures of the saber with out the copper. But I think there are some here on the site somwhere.

No. Tengo uno sabre de Luke Skywalker. ;D I painted the only one I have. Orginally I had taken off the copper paint. It looked really good. Then I decieded to go all out and paint it V2 style. If you want to take off the muy malo copper paint then go for it. I think it looks mucho mejor then before.

yeah well, i've got 2 lukes, on MR one lux, the stock one is with the copper upgrade, and the lux is a bit beat, it's my practice saber.  In fact it has a TCCS blade that's kinda heavy, i like it specifically because of that.  For spins i find it better.  So i think i will try and take the copper of the lux one, and mod it to a V2, wheathered of course cause it's already weathered  :D i've hit a couple of times and it has scratchs in the neck copper part.  Well let's just say it is not mint.
