eFX Obi Wan Kenobi Star Wars Stunt Lightsaber Precision Cast Replica Toy
In the Star Wars movies not only do they make multiple copies of the props we see on screen, but different versions, as well. These are divided into two categories commonly referred to in the industry as "hero" and "stunt". Hero props are made for close ups and promotional pictures which require a more beauty shot of the prop. Often they are featured with the main characters while stunt versions are used for the "extras" in the background. Most of the time when a light saber is ignited on screen, it is a stunt version of the hilt. These props are usually cast in resin from the hero prop and then painted to look just like the hero prop. They are lighter and easier to wield while filming the exciting light saber duels and action scenes. In the case of the stunt light sabers, there is usually a rod attached to the hilt so that the actors can actually duel and make contact with the blades. These rods are also invaluable reference points for the special effects technicians to later digitally add in the signature glows of the light saber blades. This stunt light saber is a faithful replica of the hero prop used in the Star Wars movies and comes with a unique light saber and plaque stand to display your light saber.
