DeLano80 Offline Senior Member Posts: 40 Thank you received: 7	Great job! I am just curious what you think of the scale of this saber is compared to the film used one? I know you said the hilt is a bit thick, but to my eyes, it looks almost twice the diameter. What do you guys think? I also cant wait to see it with the blades back in!

But, all of the other ones I have seen look very close in size, and design. I have Luke, and Vader's Episode IV sabers (graflex), and they appear very accurate. Anyone done comparisons and found anything to the contrary?

Do you think that would that work, and if so, would it still have the side blade ignition delay?

In your Conversion video review you mentioned upgrading the speaker but did not speak of any improvements/drawbacks to doing so.
1) -What speaker (make/model) did you use?
-How did the upgraded speaker compare to the stock one? Was it worth it?

You seemed to like the DeepRed LEDs in your Requiem review video.
2) -Why didn't you upgrade the stock LEDs?
-Did you see any reason why DeepRed LEDs could not be used?

There's an explanation for that in the "Visual Dictionary" - Mace had damaged his saber on his assignment just before heading to Naboo, so he borrowed that hilt, then built a new one by the time Epsiode II rolled around.
