Some of the biggest talking points :


  • "studio scale" vehicles will now be known as "FX Models"
  • x-wing model will have an opening cockpit and a pilot
  • they will be doing plaques afterall (mockup below)
  • No eFX or LFL logos on plaque



The biggest news was about the Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber that was shown in the preview emails last week. The saber will be part of the "Extreme" line, and will be identical to LFL reference photos (including weathering) on the outside, but will open up to reveal the internals of the lightsaber with LEDs and sound! Here is an early rendering of the Obi-Wan lightsaber.
