Hey brother! Back three years later to say I finally got it! I finally found this saber on Ebay after all these years of searching. I searched everywhere and avoided some scammers on Facebook and Reddit that were showing me photos of other people's sold saber as their own. I'm just happy to say I finally have one on the way to me right now!

Dooku's saber is very elegant, but utterly impractical. 10:55 is the obvious flaw with this design. I'm surprised nobody ever mentions it. Due to the curve, the angle of the blade is not perpendicular to your palm. You can hold it at the neck of the emitter for better control, but this renders 3/4 of the hilt useless.

@@GrayPaladin I don't own one, but I have held one. I tried twirling it around, but it felt very unnatural. The rapier is a cut-and-thrust sword designed for single-handed fighting, so a short hilt with finger-grooves would be ideal. I would say a curved _blade_ is what you really want, though. The scimitar and the katana are ideal for slashing.

Wow, outstanding Krennic costume!! A shame that shop that made the tunic and cape went out of business, they look very high quality! I think the lining in the cape, even though not movie accurate, is a good thing as it gives weight to it and keeps it from excessive billowing when walking. I didn't know Krennic had grenades on his left side on the belt, thank you for showing that! I'll be making a Krennic costume soon, so thank you so much for all the inspiration with the one you put together!
