My other hobby is SW Prop building and rounding out my 77-83 Kenner collection.
Met David Prowse and a couple of the OT cast on the con circuits over the years. Good memories.

Something from the home collection.

Sounds like he lived a good life form what I read, but still sad.

They are assembled from a mix of reproduction parts and original parts used by the prop builders.
A large portion of the props built for the original trilogy were found objects that were repurposed, painted, weathered and modified etc.

Luke's saber is a 3 cell Graflex flash tube from a camera, bubbles from a Texas Instruments calculator and parts of sliding cabinet door track.

Vader's saber is a 3 cell flash tube from Micro Precision Products and was extremely rare to begin with. Same add-ons as Luke's.

Obi-wan's saber is the hardest and  most expensive to build using real parts. WW1 rifle grenade body, nozzle from a British military jet engine, clamp from a Graflex, same calc bubbles, a sink knob from British MFR.

Vintage camera collectors really hate Star Wars fans because once a part is "found" the prices skyrocket, supplies dry up and a once functioning camera item gets chopped up.

Lost a Bounty Hunter now. Ironic as his SW character was just brought back in The Mandalorian.

Jeremy was a class act with the fandom.
About 12 years ago there was a project to build him a replica ESB Fett costume. I made and donated several of the CNC machined parts that wound up in the build. Cool project and was a blast.

I wonder if he'll be cremated. Too soon?
