Now,it has occured to me, because the vader FX has a similar to the proper flash tube. Has anyone taken a vader FX hilt and just dismantled that to use? Will it even work?
Yes I would imagine it is oversized. I have a Luke ESB ForceFX and next to my real graflex it is a good 5-8% (don't ask where I got that number) so I would imagine the Vader ANH ForceFX is of similar proportions in size larger.
Also, one other question. Which end of the flashtube goes in the barrel of the gun? The battery end, or the bulb end in which you cut down the battery end?
Looking at the newly released official pics, the tube seems to be offset to the right somewhat. But does anyone know if it stayed that way for filming, or did they 'straighten' it up? :confused
