“Barad-Dûr Saber – version 2” – A reworked classic for post no.666!

Re-blogging this fantastic post from my friend here, For Tyeth at (FTSabersite).

Particularly For fans of Star Wars, LOTR, New Zealand. FT is a real life Jedi (check out his Cosplay) and Visual Effects Wizard. He specializes in making custom Lightsabers, both real, but mainly computer graphic artistic renders using Blender 3D modeling software (Current). They are exquisite. For a very special 666th post, FT revamped an old saber design inspired by the LOTR “Barad-Dur” Dark Tower, complete with a Lava Krystal chamber, instead of traditional Kyber. And get this, he also just visited New Zealand (all the way from The UK) which is, of course, where Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy was filmed. Perfect timing. Check it out!

    1. Thank you for the kind words, they are the sort of reaction and description I hope for! With the original I just felt it was 99% and I had that nagging feeling there was something more I could have done. Thanks once again.

  1. Hello EF, thanks so much for the shout-out and re-blog! Having had the honour and fortune of visiting New Zealand (aka Middle Earth) I had to revisit the old saber design and bring it up to date.
    p.s. And I am impressed by your knowledge of lightsaber technology and Kyber! Thanks again.
