I feel the same way about Obi-Wan's saber. I have respect for the people who have an original parts one but I'm fine with having a replica. As a matter of fact I still have my Icons Obi saber and have no intention of getting rid of it.I have to admit that when TFA came out I sold one I had for a princely sum! It might be heresy, but I'm cool with a replica. I'm hoping I still find that stupidly low priced Graflex sitting at a flea market at some point.
BTW, I have a Graflex replica, I think it's the one Larbel did. It had an old light up blade with a big stereo plug (plasma blade?), and then it has a round plug that you put in the hilt when not using the light up blade. Does that sound right for a Larbel?
