Various close-up angles of the middle section of the lightsabre prop. The raised extension of the trigger's hinge serves multiple purposes: A rod prevents the trigger lever from falling off. It also works as a trigger guard. And it is a stable stand for placing the prop on a surface for display.
Close up views of the lightsabre's grip and pommel.
Lightsabre prop held by a blue gloved hand. Top: lightsabre off. Bottom: trigger depressed, lightsabre on.
The grip of the lightsabre prop is part of the pole that held a shower head. Being real metal means it polished up really well.
The trigger mechanism uses half a clip from a clothes hangar as a lever.
This pushes down a plastic rod "plunger" to depress a spring [โฆ]
