everybody it's Brian Bishop with the verge and we are here in San Diego comic-con at the booth for Prop Shop now you might be wondering why I have a kylo Ren lightsaber in my hand that's because Prop Shop is the prop shop that basically made the props for Star Wars The Force awakens is making the props for rogue one is making the posture all the upcoming you know Star Wars films that are gonna be coming for you know the next 5 10 20 years and what's cool is they absolutely called the ultimate studio Edition where they basically take the props replicating the exact same way that they made the originals aged them weather them and then sell them for high-end collectors there is kylo Ren's lightsaber there is Ray's lightsaber there's Poe's helmet there's Finn's helmet basically everything cool you could want from the force awakens you can buy all of these things are individually numbered and each prop has a chip inside of it to prove that it's authentic so this is the ultimate studio edition of Rey's lightsaber from the force awakens you know these lightsabers were originally back Monday made from graft lights flash handles and here you have the entire body of the graphics flash gentle replicated clamp the grips you know the d-ring cobalt be bringing here in the end and it's all like incredibly detailed and you can tell this is from the force awakens by a couple of things actually in force awakens there was this clamp that had no printing on it in the other movies they basically had a piece of foil tape stuck around the Graflex logo and also these grips are actually a little bit short on the bottom and they were back in the in the original films but it's an incredible amount of detail both in the way that things were put together but also the weathering and that's what's really kind of spectacular about this because not only does prop strap make these items they then go back and take the ones that were used on screen and scan them again to see all the detail in terms of weathering paint smudges scratches all that kind of stuff they can then treat the newly created objects that they sell to look just like the thing that came off the set so I'm gonna try to not break this this is this is obviously Darth Vader's melted helmet this is a little bit intimidating to hold I'm not gonna lie you know it's the scene of them film where kylo Ren is kind of looking over it and no one's saying Li will fit what's your story this thing was originally is sculpted kind of like the influence look like a skull you can definitely see that and this item is basically then 3d printed the final mask and and there's this incredible detail I mean there's like the wires coming in here there's the you know the tough slew no tests it's really is kind of a incredibly detailed and frightening piece of work again these things are very very limited and they are they are not cheap because you're paying for this detail in this craftsmanship but my god this is kind of breathtaking so I'm standing here with the latest addition to the ultimate studio edition line it is a panel from the lynnium falcon you know they obviously had to recreate the falcon for the new movies and this was pulled from that these machine these switches were all like kind of like you know machine by hand the electronics inside they all are functioning and they work it's kind of great if you're imagining if you're in the Falcon and then you know like I'm looking at like this it's to the left if I'm Han Solo I'm not so much on so but it's a it's pretty great this kind of interactive thing you could see it being on your wall and as you know this being nerding outlet is there and it's pretty remarkable is to view this interactive prop that's so familiar if you've seen the movies this thing basically does not have a release date yet it's going to come out sometime this year there's no information you had about how much it's going to cost either with Sony more movies coming out and with the returns of older timeframes and some new timeframes it's one of these people gonna be very very busy and if you want to get the most authentic licensed prop possible you're gonna be talking to cross shops for more videos like this be sure to check out our youtube page at youtube-dot-com forward-slash the verge oh my god this is kind of breathtaking yeah this is Darth Vader's helmet
