The whip looks like it hasn't been used?

I'm actually quite convinced that this is the hero hat worn in a lot of the mine scenes.
Though as far as the whip is concerned... I sense... shenanigans!

That's strange. I don't remember C3PO ever wearing a helmet...

If I could drop $150,000.00 on a prop (lightsaber) than It had better be able to house me or more so,burry me. My wife would have my head.

...in that case, you might need C3PO's 'helmet'. ;-)

That lightsaber better be able to barbeque my steaks, hunt down my dinner, and act as a home security device, in other words I ain't paying 150 grand if it doesn't function as advertised in the movies.

Wile I was working in construction, we were doing a demo job in a house that was a serious pain the ###. One fella said it would be so much easier with a light saber, which I thought was funny coming from him. Later that day a bunch of us drew up plans for the Craftsman Adjustable Light Sabre for use in all home improvement and construction projects, we also had grand ideas of military marketing. Just imagine Bob Vila demonstrating that one in a commercial. We figured it would retail for about 250 grand back then. Just becuase we could charge that much to the government.
