Starfall sabers for sale12/13/2023 Although it’s been challenging that’s been the biggest reward as well. Sometimes that can be difficult to take something off the paper, like a sketch a client will send over, and build it in the real world. Managing all the orders and specifically trying to bring what my clients have envisioned to life. The most challenging part has been commissions. What are some of the most challenging and rewarding parts about running Starfall Sabers? It’s been our most popular saber to date! I sold that first one and it gained so much attention that we decided to add it as a made-to-order item in my Etsy shop. I was inspired and built out the top emitter piece. He sent it to me and said “See if you can do anything with this”. He decided to cast a resin “rancor” tooth and wrap the hilt with a “Rancor” hide. The Rancor saber came about by Vader Head getting into resin work. We started chatting about having hand-tooled leather being applied to sabers and it took off! We’ve been working together for years now. I gave him a shout out on my Instagram page and as a “thank you” he sent me a leather cuff with the Republic logo tooled in. I think he was making leather cuffs with Star Wars themed art hand-tooled into them at the time. He is a talented artist and his leather work caught my eye. That came about after I met Jason Hayden (aka Vader Head) on Instagram. How did you did you come up with the idea for the design of the popular and distinctive Rancor Tooth lightsaber? Some are rated for light to medium dueling while others capable of hard dueling when specified. I also really didn’t think about durability, as in ‘can these actually hold up to dueling’, let alone being able to attach a polycarbonate blade to them.Īll my sabers now are made to accept electronics and can be dueled with. Since the first ones were just static display pieces I didn’t give any thought to how electronics (LED and sound) could fit inside. How did building your first lightsaber compare to building more recent lightsabers? Eventually I’d venture into, but for the first year all I built were non-functioning sabers that could be worn on your belt for fun! Nick Cohen built his first lightsaber out of found parts from the thrift store | IMAGE CREDIT: Starfall Sabers I just let my imagination run wild as I assembled it. I didn’t have a design process other than “Oh! I could take apart this piece and add it to that!”. I decided to go to the thrift store because it’s cheap and there a bunch of random items so I figured I’d be able to find something. I wanted to build something from scratch out of parts and pieces I could find. I didn’t want to buy what was available on the market, even though there were some amazing custom builders doing some awesome work. I grew up watching the Original Trilogy and always fantasized about building my own lightsaber. When I heard that Disney had bought Lucasfilm and were planning to make and release more films I was ecstatic. Can you describe the process behind designing and building this ‘found parts’ lightsaber hilt? You built your first lightsaber out of what you describe as ‘junk’ from thrift stores.
