No longer a callow youth, Luke Skywalker has risen through the ranks of the Rebel Alliance to Commander.  In these dangerous times, Luke arms himself not only with his father's lightsaber, but also carries a BlasTech DL-44 blaster.  This weapon is favored not only by many Rebels, but the infamous smuggler and scoundrel, Han Solo, as well.

After leading the Rogue Group's snowspeeder pilots against the fearsome At-Ats in the epic battle of Hoth, Luke headed to the swamp planet of Dagobah.  Here, the legendary Jedi Master, Yoda, continued honing Luke's Jedi skills until he was forced to abandon his training to go and rescue his friends.

High above the giant gas planet of Bespin, Luke drew his DL-44 blaster and searched the corridors of Cloud City for his companions.  But and elaborate trap had been set, with his friends used as bait, forcing the trainee Jedi into a confrontation with the evil Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.  Facing an enemy more accomplished in the Force than himself, Luke Skywalker calmly holstered his blaster and ignited his lightsaber, the weapon of a Jedi Knight.

In Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker's BlasTech DL-44 blaster was a real antique German 7.63mm semi-automatic pistol, unlike Han Solo's which had been made from a modern replica of the same firearm.

The front barrel was passed through a specially machined bright aluminum flash-suppressor which closely followed the look of Han Solo's DL-44 from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.  A custom bracket was fitted to the right side of the gun with a single beveled knurled knob, which housed a M19 azimuth sighting scope.  On the left side of the gun, two plastic model kit parts provided additional surface detailing to complete Luke Skywalker's DL-44 blaster.  Luke's weapon differed in many other subtle ways from the weapon carried by his compatriot, Han Solo, therefore was quite distinct in its own right.

Master Replicas hopes that you enjoy adding this blaster of Luke Skywalker to your Star Wars prop collection.
