Had they not had that access, the replica would have been made either using a &#8220;best guess&#8221; or a laser scan of one of the props seen onscreen. &#8220;But that would have meant losing a generation, as we would have been making a copy of a copy of the master,&#8221; said Gore. &#8220;It would have been slightly smaller and, unavoidably, detail would have been lost.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The phaser replica, which will sell for $49.99, measures 10.5&#8243; long x 7&#8243; high and weighs more than a pound.
