Ok...just unboxed her and my first thought was.. "Well...well....look at you." This has got to be the best Luke ROTJ I've ever seen. The swings are just perfect BTW. It's not going beserk or anything. Fact is, this is fourth PC based saber I have and none of them have ever gone beserk on me with swings. This saber is beautiful. It's a functional work of art. My highest compliments to everyone involved! Oh, and I was hoping that the APOP would be enabled :) I forgot to ask for that...fortunately LDM anticipated this and it makes perfect sense with the switch placement. Fantastic saber, awesome implemantation in design and execution.
You know...you have to stop and think about how lucky we all really are. I mean...we're in a community of fans, hobbiest and supports that not only all love the same thing, but have members with the skills, resources and knowledge to design and build what others only dream about. These are in my opinion, childhood dreams made manifest. I remember as a kid seeing Luke ignight his green saber for the first time on that sand barge and thinking "WOW!! IT'S GREEN!" When I got home my toy saber with the odd yellow blade that made whistling noises when you swung it just didn't cut it anymore. I remember talking my Granddad into cutting me a piece of wood that sort of resembled Luke's saber. Of course everything else was up to a kids imagination.
Man have we really come a long way ;D
