Isn't Jango & Boba Fett RPGs real weapons

BlasTech DH-17 blaster pistol

Which movie was this? It was NOT the first one (A new hope) (1977) because I've handled those original Prop guns and they were just cheap metal tubes and NOT built on a Sterling SMG. The Stormtrooper ones yes, but the Rebels on the blockade runner had very simple crappy prop pistols made out of machined aluminum. MoviePropMaster2008 00:57, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

This is true, you can see during the blockade runner sequence the trigger guards on the dh-17s are really thick indicating something that was molded or thrown together cheaply.--Variableorange 05:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Star Wars guns

Star wars fans and costumers have been for years trying to find out what all the guns in the star wars saga were made of: Parts of Star Wars ([1]) is a fan-created list of most of the guns - from the main props to blink-and-you'll-miss-them ones wielded by extras. --Variableorange 05:17, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Page Re-Organization Recommendation

Is there any particular reason we have all the films in this franchise all on one page? I believe it would make more sense to split them into several pages covering the individual films and have a category to serve as a central hub for them. Orca1 9904 15:07, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Some Star Wars films have only one real-based guns (the first episode, for example) and is a waste to make so all of them are grouped in one page. - Kenny99 16:44, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

That's exactly what I did, group them all in one page. Excalibur01 01:59, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Clone Blasters

Should the clone blasters really be on this page, since there was never actually a physical prop for any of them used in the films? The Wierd It 19:20, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Most viewers would not realize that, so it's probably best if there is a section for it, if only to point out that, unlike the rest of the gun on the page, that one doesn't actually exist.--PistolJunkie 21:25, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Droid blaster

Does anyone have any objection to the E-5 blaster used by the battle droids in the prequels being added?

The screen used practical props were made from castings of a an E-11 blaster replica, which itself was based on a Sterling. Granted, no guns were directly used to make this prop, but at least it is a physical prop unlike the clone rifles which are on this page.

Also, just as an unrelated bonus, here is a (hires) photo from a convention showing replicas of various Star Wars guns, where among others you can see the Episode VI Rebel rifles made from M-16 parts, and the Episode IV DH-17s notable by their thick trigger guards and generally cruder appearance.
