Description

Ewan McGregor "Obi-Wan Kenobi" Hero Lightsaber Hilt from Star Wars: Episode 3 -Revenge Of The Sith (TCF, 2005). For production on the third and final film in George Lucas's Star Wars prequel trilogy, the props department was called upon to build an entirely new set of hero, close-up lightsaber props, including two alternate builds for Ewan McGregor's Jedi Master "Obi-Wan Kenobi." One group of Kenobi hero lightsaber props was produced to look similar to the legacy prop weapon Sir Alec Guinness's older, "Obi-Wan Kenobi" wielded in the original film (Episode IV) that this film (Episode III) needed to bridge the gap visually ultimately. Another handful of Kenobi hero lightsaber props were produced to resemble the lightsaber carried by Ewan McGregor's youthful, Obi-Wan throughout the previous two film installments, with the thought being the Jedi would ultimately transition between the two props at some point within the story of the film. When it came time to create new hero Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber props for Star Wars: Episode 3 -Revenge of the Sith, the prop's builder was encouraged to "freshen up" the design from the previous films a bit to denote some passage of time and what resulted was a single notable modification - the addition of an enlarged emitter end cap with three holes that has caused eagle-eyed fans to nickname the other examples of this prop seen in the Lucasfilm Archive... "the salt shaker." This particular style hero prop was well documented and photographed during production, both with George Lucas and later on set with Ewan McGregor, but ultimately scenes with this lightsaber prop didn't make the final cut of the film. An incredibly rare opportunity to own a hero Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber hilt from the Star Wars Saga. Made from multiple machined metal parts assembled on a central core with additional metal greeblies, LEDs, and rubber o-rings. A screen used Obi-Wan Kenobi legacy style hero lightsaber hilt from Star Wars: Episode 3 -Revenge of the Sith sold at auction for $215,000 in December of 2020.
