Prop Story
Patiently plotting to take over the Republic, the evil Darth Sidious is now
ready to unleash his incomparable reign of terror upon the galaxy. Slowly rising
to power using political machinations and the dark side of the Force, the evil
Sith Lord has orchestrated much of the interplanetary strife plaguing the
Republic.
Now, when the Republic is most vulnerable, and the Jedi are most overwhelmed,
Sidious finally unveils a sinister master plan a thousand years in the making.
In one fell swoop, the devious Sith Lord wipes out the Jedi Order and
reorganizes the crumbling Republic into the first Galactic Empire.
Lord Sidious’ colossal gambit has given him absolute power as ruler of the
galaxy, and to help him keep his oppressive reign, he enlists a most deadly Sith
apprentice – the equally villainous Darth Vader.
To create the weapon of the vile Darth Sidious, the prop department machined
an original master and cast copies of the prop in chrome and gold plated resin
for ease of handling. Surface detailing consisted of two LEDs - in keeping with
the prequel trilogy lightsaber look – a gold colored recharge port, and a brass
emitter plate. Other areas, notably the neck rings bellow the emitter and the
individually shaped end cap were gold plated, before the saber was given a
distinctive paint finish.
For the Master Replicas model, Lucasfilm supplied our engineers with a
pristine copy of the original prop. It was laser scanned to enable them to
exactly recreate the unique, organic form in diecast metal, with machined metal
details. The trim parts are plated in genuine 18k gold and every detail from the
antiqued brass emitter to the unique prismatic paint finish have been stunningly
replicated.
We hope you enjoy this replica of Darth Sidious’ lightsaber. We feel sure it
will be a discussion piece in your collection for many years to come, and while
it represented a unique challenge for Master Replicas to recreate, we feel that they have met
the challenge!
