TOPIC: Upcoming SaberForge Releases

Damn I am here just controlling myself from spending money on another hilt; really want that oracle.

So, I was reading a post in the Custom Lightsaber Owners FB page about a new machine that Saberforge just got for it's shop (CNC), and there was a side conversation going on about how this could make possible a coupler for two Banes. Thomas Snyder got involved, and was describing how difficult something like that would be to wield, but he created a 3-d render for it anyway to show what such a thing could look like. It was in the shape of a "U", but the guy said "No, make it like an "S"!". His response was (and this is the point of this post) that the hooks on each pommel would get in the way in that configuration, but wait until you see the design for the UPCOMING Sovereign curved saber! Thomas went on to say that it was his favorite design yet.

Now, I don't know if this is The Count renamed, or something completely new, but it definitely got my attention. Guess we will all have to wait and see, but I got a feeling it will be worth it!

Aimee Brooks Oh wow I'd better start saving up! And get some leatherwork ready to sell!

Ambitious, eh?
This is cool and all, but what about the sabers at the beginning of this thread? Will they ever be realized?

It'd definitely be nice to see an SF Graflex (or 'Legacy' as it would be called). I might even buy one despite my dislike of the Graflex style of saber. In fact, it'd be nice to see all the sabers on the first page IRL.

I'd actually really like to see the Anduril inspired saber. I'd totally rock an Amber blade with that one!

I'm a fan of Sword Art Online, as well, so that Photon Sword really calls to me, too.

As much as I would LOVE to see all of those concepts become reality, there remains a possibility that it might not happen. As I always stress, I am not in any way officially affiliated with SaberForge so this is educated conjecture. However, after the duplication of the Relic design by a competitor, there seemed to be less interest in continuing with the path set out by the pre-release renderings, and more of a tilt towards doing things that nobody saw coming. This has been their direction since that event.

I don't know if it means that they WON'T happen, or if they just wanted to put a little distance between them to keep the competition guessing, but every new release since the Relic have been designs that were heretofore unseen.

You can take all of this with a huge grain of salt, as I don't have any more information at my disposal than you do. This is simply my take on the information that we do have, and extrapolating a potential direction based on that. I am certainly not trying to dash anyone's hopes, but perhaps endeavor to lower the expectation levels to something a little more realistic, given what we have seen. This Sovereign is a good example.

Nobody would be happier than me to see each and every one of them released as discreet designs, or ASP models (especially.........The Regal), but I am also trying to temper my expectations so as not to be too disappointed if that does not come to pass. From a business perspective, I would completely understand the reasoning if that were to happen.

I'm fine with that course, too. New sabers is new sabers XD. I'd probably miss the birth of the Renegade, but I honestly probably would've stabbed myself with it, so it may be for the best.

I really hope the count is not scrapped. I have been checking this forum daily just to see the day when that model comes out. If you go thru this thread it looks like a ton of people have been looking fed to it coming out too. Crossing fingers...

It's essentially a light-side version of Vader's saber from ANH/ESB (there are minor differences between the two movies).

I'd hope that the Count, as well as the other canon designs they mocked up, aren't off the table (since they aren't completely original designs to begin with), as I've been waiting for the Ventress hilt myself. The only other one I've seen is Solo's Hold extremely limited, empty, unfinished, and overpriced Space Witch (which their site lists at over $1400). Luckily SF made their Ka'Tano, because SH is starting a run of empty Clone Wars Ahsoka sabers for $600 for the pair.

I wonder if someone will end up making a saberstaff that looks like Rey's staff from TFA in the center, but of course with light saber ends. I can totally see them doing that for her character. Maybe in a nice green.

I'd just like to know what they print their tests on. FFF(FDM) SLA SLS, what make model etc.

They had a presale deal for the pair at 465.

A new curved saber?
That happens to be a favourite design?

A man can only hope…
