New eFX Star Wars products

- "Reveal" ESB Luke lightsaber with lights and sounds
- Epic Duel series lightsabers will come in sets, starting with Kenobi and Vader, Luke and Vader, Qui-Gon, Kenobi, and Maul, Yoda and Dooku, and finally Mace and Sidious
- 4-foot (!) studio scale model of the Star Destroyer based exactly on the model from the film.


Now we all are familiar with eFX's reputation when it comes to delays or simply never releasing something they announced, but let's hope this will change under Disney's supervision on these new lines.

This is incredible news for me, can't wait to see what they do with the lightsabers. Most are must-haves.

Also a nice opportunity to get some pieces that are now very expensive in their Master Replicas iteration, let's just hope the quality is on par.
I wonder if they will be going for a similar super idealized vibe or something more in the stunt department. MR's work on Sidious's lightsaber for example will be hard to top.

I have little faith in this company anymore. too many promises with zero delivery.

I am still waiting for my mcquarrie stormtrooper bucket, new Fett bucket, and studio scale slave1. And don't even get me started on the falcon...

I hope the mouse gives a more deserving company the license.

Definitely, it's been my hope for a long time as well, but I guess this is better than no news at all on the props front. Really hope they deliver now...

Awesome news. Hope it doesn't take years to make them. The Epic Duel series will probably bc similar to their PCR sabers.

Luke ESB reveal sounds like a must have for me.

They claim aug 2016 PO for falcon we'll see if that holds up. By time it goes up for PO it'll be thousands of dollars and I won't order anyway...

But seriously lol at the destroyer. Good luck getting that thing out of the door any faster than the falcon. So, 2022 or so for that PO?

Seriously SERIOUSLY though, I really want that destroyer

I don't know how these guys stay in business. They don't sell much of anything. Ever...

Yeah the Reveal is a day 1 PO because the quality will most likely be similar to the previous ones (if they actually make it happen ofc).

For the Duel series, I'll wait for the details, owning a few of the original MR replicas, I want stuff that's on par or pretty close. I don't really have any interest in a stunt-type replica like the ones they did in the $130 range a few years ago.

I was on the hunt for an MR Mace Windu, I guess I'll wait now because there is no reason to spend that much money if theirs is as good or pretty close. Same for the Luke and Vader lightsabers.

Haha yeah, no idea as well, it's kind of a huge mystery at this point

Efx turn up every year showing stuff that is nice to look at, but never actually make anything. Watch for more no shows at SDCC 2017.
