Ralph McQuarrie's concept sabers (Luke and Vader)

Hard to believe that in the concepts, Lightsabers were flashlights. But then again, the things we did with flashlights as a kid now make more sense.

Indeed, but I must point out that I took some liberty, threw in some personal touches to make it appear more as a functional weapon instead of a plastic flashlight.

Thank you for fulfilling my request. It was actually surprising, because I've nearly forgotten about it until last week. But here they are now, on JKHub, available for everyone.

And to everyone out there, have fun with these!

Sweet!

Now we just need the playermodels. Great work!

It was my pleasure creating these and I hope that all those hardcore old fans will enjoy them!

Somehow, I'm baffled that these lightsabers didn't make it as a Featured Download. I thought it would be placed there and stay for a while. It's been a month and still nothing.

Eh I did not create them for that. It's still only 2 sabs with a small download count - under 5% of people that viewed this page actually downloaded the sabs. Allthough I did go for realism and the extra mile to make them really great out of personal respect to Ralph's concepts. This is what became the actual movie/comic sabers later on. It was totally worth it.
