Derelict Variant
Some slides in the original post were videos; still frames are shown here.
The Derelict was a lightsaber designed for the video game Star Wars The Old Republic. The original Derelict lightsaber was designed by Brad Lewis @slothfurnace and carries design cues from Obi-wan Kenobi’s first saber, the shroud and red button reminiscent of the original Graflex lightsaber and adds on distinctive elements such as the control box and see-through glass eye. Since launch, the design has become an icon that has inspired many other lightsaber designs.
This Exhibit 11.1 is a custom-made one-of-kind- lightsaber designed to be a variant on the Derelict. Built by Excronix Sabers and installed by Gary Janota of @cantinadesigns , the hilt features an exposed crystal chamber and pays homage to the original Derelict design with its shine-through glass eye, control box, red button and shroud. The heavy weathering and battle damage by Austin Neil Dowdy of @astoria_workshop creates the effect of a saber that has seen a thousand battles and come through the other side.
