Since January of 2020, we have been working on the #RiseForRose project, an endeavor to gift a custom made, one of a kind lightsaber to actress Kelly Marie Tran, as a rebuke to the toxic fans who tried to bully her and cow her into silence, and to Disney for failing to stand behind one of their own.

This week we’re very pleased to have worked with Lightspeed Saber Fairfield aka Kyber Cave and their online streaming show Saber Rattle to bring you an interview with Jacob Maschmeyer and John Emmons, the designer and builder of the Tico Saber, respectively. Jacob is the founder of Shatterpoint Sabers and John is the founder of ENSO Workshop.

Tune in to the Kyber Cave Facebook page on Friday, November 6, at 7 PM Pacific to meet these two amazing artists and hear their perspectives and motivations for working on the Rise For Rose project.

If you’d like to support this project, the most important thing now is to SPREAD THE WORD. This isn’t just a gift; it’s a message, that needs to be heard. However, we will be including the names of all monetary donors with the gift, the money of which will go toward paying for materials, equipment, and time spent by the designer and builder, who have basically been working for free. Thank you for any sharing you can do and any donations you can give.
