I think it was to make it a better dueling hilt. That box is right smack dab in the middle... I honestly didn't even know it was there for TWO YEARS because it clipped into my character's hands. :silly:

Phil has said in the past that they make sabers, not replicas. That some of their sabers heavily favor some familiar designs is neither here, nor there (which I am sure keeps LucasFilm/Disney off his case). ;) :P
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

There it is...lol


I wasn't actually looking for a 1:1 replica anyway. :) Where to begin looking for the giant, ugly, red button in the first place anyhow?! :P

I hate that control box on the game model. It's huge and ugly and has to be uncomfortable to grip. :huh: If SF's version had that, I wouldn't want one.

Copyrights and Intellectual Property are an interesting thing. All Phil has to do is have Thomas Snyder make just ever so subtle changes to this or that to have it not considered a replica, even though it looks very close to the naked eye. But, he obviously knows exactly how close he can get, given how long he's been doing this. B)

But... but it would be accurate! Definitely a "shelf queen", like every control box saber imo lol.

Valid point. My Force FX Graflex owns that shelf. ;) The problem is, sabers I've played with in video games demand to be played with in real life.

I agree! And honestly that hilt is my least favorite from the game. If I can't play with it, it usually ends up for sale.
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

Congrats on your Gladius acquisition! Hope you love it as much as I love mine. Call me crazy but it's SF's best design IMO. Solid,simple,beautiful. :)

It's merely my first SF hilt, so I have no others to compare it to, but I have read from many members here that it's certainly one of the most comfortable in their line-up.

So - SCORE again. :P

I really do love it. It is so very solid, and that choke in front of the switch is pure genius. Just brilliant.

Thanks Greysider. :)
