Great resource! You've brilliantly presented years of research in a very entertaining way. I did not know the ISYHCANL is a different version to the hero, but after watching the 4k version of ROTJ, it totally is! Your props are amazing, and they add up so much to the explanation. Nice on those modelling decisions, like keeping the black box in the ISYHCANL!

Perfect saturday morning when you released a video. The orginal triology saber are very complicated story it seems. Great job explaining. I think my favourite is the V2 😊

[@Sithslayer]

V2 is my favourite too! Thank you as always Peter 😊

[@sethdunlea9156]

Your videos are awesome! I went out and bought a comission spot for a DaveP ISYHCANL for this month! Really stoked for it

[@Sithslayer]

Thank you! Yes! You’re gonna love it!

Hoping it makes the trip across the pond XD, have you been following Anakin Starkiller from over here, he's doing a new run of V3 hilts that can be converted to a variety of the stunt hilts (warehouse stunt, V2, death saber)

[@pearfessional]

@@sethdunlea9156you should be good on getting it to you! I ordered a diy version of it and got it a week or 2 ago, just painted it this week

[@Sithslayer]

@@sethdunlea9156 I have! It’s a very cool hilt! Probably the best we’ll get at the moment to create a V3 which was poorly cast.

I have had some much anticipation for this video! Thanks for this 😀

[@Sithslayer]

Glad you enjoyed buddy

Never like the actual reason for the existance of the hero, I always felt luke cobbling together his green lightsaber from spare parts in obi-wans junk drawer was a better explanation for why it was clearly the v2 throughout the entirety of the movie, disney could've easily made the official reason for the hero's existance that he rebuilt the v2 into the hero after the events of rotj with a quick scene in book of boba fett or any of the sequel movies! It's not like revenge of the Sith where their stunt sabers had the boxes removed for comfort and you wouldnt have known if not for the special features, luke clearly uses the v2 the whole movie and "new" doesn't have to mean "shiny new off the showroom floor"!
