For the record, the scene only shows Luke working inside the control box with a thin, wrench-like tool. The two triangle lights on the side of the box light up, going from red to green as he is working (there is also a rapid beeping sound), and then he closes the box and ignites the saber. You never see him opening up any other part of the saber (definitely no crystal). This replica is based on what looks to be a fake (though very cool looking) prop saber that has been floating around awhile.

I made one exactly like this from still photos years ago on a lathe at my job. It took a bit of doing but I completed the machining in one day and then sent it off for plating. When I got it back from the platers I hand painted the black portions and assembled the brass portions and the emitter nozzle. Added the clip at the bottom and it's flawless! I wish I had taken the time to make mine capable of disassembly with the associated details inside like yours but I did not. Mine weighs a good 5lbs and I agree weight is totally necessary to making it feel like a real lightsaber. I also turned down a few pieces of green impact resistant acrylic to serve as the blade. Unfortunately I didn't include a light but I occasionally entertain the idea of hollowing out the butt end to make room for a nine volt battery and adding a high output LED to the emitter nozzle. Altho it would surely ruin the finish from tooling and chuck marks I can always have it replated and repaint it myself. In retrospect I'm glad I didn't do it at the time as LEDs weren't as widely available in 1997 when I originally built mine and I no doubt would have used a standard automotive type incandescent bulb which wouldn't have suited the final project nearly as well. Perhaps the next time I take my vacation I'll use a day or so to finish it! Enjoy yours as I always have mine and may the force be with you!

Super video. Very detailed and concise! I was looking at acquiring this saber, but also looking at a getting a Master Replica in stead. For market and overall collection value what would you suggest? I have a sense that MR's are a bit more sought after and have a distinct and unique quality where as the eFX are quality, yet lacking the extra "touch" and feel that MR provided.

I think the scene was actually Luke completing his Lightsaber build, according to the now legends eu he took a month to complete his Lightsaber and finished it when he arrived back to tattooine from something that happened inbetween ep. 4&5. Because of how long he took he was able to make a perfect Lightsaber, with everything exactly as designed. That is if my memory serves correctly
