O.K. I knew I saw a link for the video the other day, Title had posted it up in The Last Jedi Graflex Research thread...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZAryCaRE3k
Interstingly, in the photos of Madlyn Burket holding the "Rey Light Saber" prop where she's wearing the blue SCARIF sun T-shirt ( http://www.starwars.com/news/here-a...adlyn-burkerts-5-favorite-star-wars-artifacts ), the clamp cover simply looks stainless.
What I find most interesting in the video is what is written on the prop's blue storage bag...
Rey Light Saber
x 2
SO, does that mean there are two "Rey Light Saber"s?
And I sure wish we had a better version of this pic, since in that article... "On telling this lightsaber apart from versions used in the original trilogy: (Madlyn says--->)“This one has a pretty big tell. There’s an opening here for the blade to go in.”" She's pinching the Bulb Holder open, but there's still the Bulb Plunger sitting there... I don't see a hole! Is it a blade plug with a Bulb Plunger in it??? Or does she not fully understand that the "hole" she sees when compressing the Bunny Ears is just the enlarging of the Bulb Holder where she thinks a blade can go? Or are we simply unable to see that there is an actual hole around the Bulb Plunger?
And she also says, “This is a new build. This was for VII and VIII. This was used on both. We saw what happens in VIII, so I’m really happy to have this one now in this condition.”
So, does that mean that this particular prop was used in TFA and TLJ, or that it is a new build (representation of the prop(s) used in TFA/TLJ because she now has one in this condition?...because one of them was destroyed. Or did she mean "new build" as in different from the ANH/ESB GRAFLEXes? Or since she's the Lucasfilm Collections and Exhibitions Archivist does that mean that this "new build" is for the traveling displays? Which brings me back to the blue storage bag and the "x 2" on it, and it's supposed to mean version 2?
