Change to DT Lightsaber Blueprint

I know many of you will have seen this before (on Facebook) but I think it's worth showing this awesome bit of history.

Bloody hell, what a piece of history! So now we know when the change was proposed - November 77! That's even before the figures were released I believe?

It also appears that vaders saber is officially ORANGE and not red.

That's a very cool piece of history.

That's right up there with the blueprint for Mitchell's Spitfire

Great insight

I am guessing the SWCA has blanked over the dimensions to stop them getting into the wrong hands!

Most pre-production stuff leaves me a little cold (which is good as I wouldn't be able to afford any of it anyway!) but this has that great historical significance of being the design decision that would unwittingly be responsible for creating the uber expensive DT variants we know and love today.

Had not seen this yet but the date looks familiar, it's the same day they decided to change the jawa from no cape to vinyl cape http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=81485

That's brilliant! So much info on it. I like the reason for change note at the top - to correct molding problems encountered with 2 piece sabre. Well 8)
