EMPEROR PALPATINE CANE AND CLOAK CLASP LE
STAR WARS: EPISODE VI RETURN OF THE JEDI

In the final episode of the Star Wars saga Emperor Palpatine was a gnarled old man.  An ancient-looking human, he had pale skin, and searing, sickly yellow eyes.  He wore a heavy dark cloak, and carried a glossy black cane.  The Emperor's cane is twisted and warped resembling the physique of the evil Sith Lord.  The hooded cloak he wears is shut at the neck with a crudely shaped, polished, black clasp.

The original Emperor's cane and clasp props seen in Return of the Jedi are currently in the Lucasfilm archive in Northern California.  The Master Replicas design team took photographs and measurements of the props in the archive as reference material to be used when designing our replicas.  For the first time ever, Lucasfilm allowed molds to be pulled directly from the clasp and cane props so that intricate geometry could be replicated perfectly.

The glossy, ebony finish of the original props was achieved by coating the black base material with a high-build clear resin.  We have duplicated the lustrous finish on our replicas in much the same way.  The Master Replicas can replica is made of cast resin with a steel core added for strength.  Our cane replica is intended for display only, therefore we do not recommend using it as a walking aid because it could be damaged under extreme pressure.  We have also attached a rubber foot to the end of the cane to protect the tip.  The cloak clasp replica is made with pins exactly like the ones used on the original prop.

Our design team's thorough research and attention to detail has resulted in precise replicas of the two original props.  The Master Replicas prop set is absolutely identical to the originals in form and finish.  We hope that you enjoy these beautiful, yet menacing prop replicas.
