This is an update to a series of articles about two prop lightsabers marketed by Paul Harrison, at the time owner of Elstree Props, which were described as original pieces made for the film, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi<\/em>.\u00a0 No such lightsabers appear in the finished film.\u00a0 Though it has been some time since the last update, published in late 2007, I have obtained new information.\u00a0 Included in this feature are photos of one of the props that I’ve been told were taken in late 2005, of a newly made custom replica lightsaber, prior to delivery to Paul Harrison.\u00a0 The prop in these photos clearly matches one of the two Elstree Props lightsabers.\u00a0 Was a newly made replica prop listed for sale to the public for $50,000.00?<\/p>\n
