The "Movie": A New Hope movie did actually use a Graflex 3-cell flash handle. The took this peice added 6 windsheild wiper blades for grips and some other cheap details. Many "movie" fans in an effort, like my self, to make exact replicas of Luke Skywalker's "prop" for themselves and to sell at outrageous prices to stupid, lazy collectors who don't know how, or don't want to put the effort into making their own. As for why this shut down the news group I don't know. To all the members of this news group I appologize for being a self abbsobed jerk in this matter and I don't want to see any news group shut down because of me. Goodbye and God Speed.
