Hey everyone, Its been a while since my last post, and I have a ton of stuff to add to this site! I have 2 new blasters in progress, a new set of armor, a logo, and a ton of stuff!
This post will be all about the DL-44 blaster. This is the blaster than Han Solo carrier throughout the trilogy, however you can also see it in the hands of other including Luke. There are a ton a different versions of this blaster seen throughout the films, and apparently each movie it was slightly different. The blaster even changed between scenes as well.
For example if you look closely in A New Hope you can see that the blaster Han uses to shoot Greedo (yes Han shot first) is actually different from the blaster he used throughout the rest of the film. This is due to the simple fact that that scene was shot in California and the movie was primarily shot in England. There was an issue getting the blaster back to the U.S. so they had to recreate a similar one for the scene.
First lets look at the variations of Dl-44s seen in the movies.
The top one is the greedo killer
Middle is the ANH Hero
Bottom appears to be a
