Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope - Rebel Blaster
The Rebel Blaster is an official reproduction of the first space weapon seen on-screen in Star Wars: A New Hope. The original prop was modeled after a 1950s British submachine gun. This replica is made of metal with ABS parts and detailing.Fiercely defending the cause of freedom and individualism, the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance would lay down their lives to protect Princess Leia and her starship. In the opening scene of Star Wars: A New Hope, Rebel troopers do just that, wielding their blaster pistols in a desperate attempt to fight off the faceless enemy stormtroopers who overrun Leia Organa's starship. The Rebel blaster was the first Star Wars weapon to appear on-screen and was modeled after a 1950's British submachine gun (also the model for the stormtrooper blaster). Like all blaster pistols in the Star Wars trilogy, it fired bursts of searing light-based energy called bolts.Master Replicas is excited to introduce this weapon seen on-screen in Star Wars. It's sure to evoke the excitement of the opening sequence of Star Wars and make a shining addition to any collection.
