Indeed, this saber is named after a term that means castle, fortification, or any defensive structure. The word is similar to Bastille which was the name of an infamous armory/prison that was famously raided during the French Revolution. Love the Never Ending Story btw!

Would you kindly enlighten me Tyeth? Refresh my memory, the name sounds very familiar to me but I cannot recall.

Hi GreyJediDude,

They were an 80's pop band from the UK, the lead singer Limahl had long spiky blonde hair and they sang the theme tune from the film!

Here they are:



Hope that helps, now back to sabers!

Looks like a big tap bit :) it would be a good staff

I agree. The body and pomel are nice but nothing special compared to many other SF sabers. The windows on the emitter are what make this this beautiful. Making this into a staff and seeing two sets of those emitter windows spinning and flying in a dark room would be epic....

I uh already emailed Justin from SF Customs and ordered this in all black. I couldn't wait. What kind of etching are you thinking of doing?

not quite sure yet maybe some aurebesh text saying "There is no light without the dark" or a tribal dragon design. Been watching vids on YouTube about salt water etching and it seems pretty straight forward. Making up vinyl masks will be no problem as I've already got access to a vinyl cutter.

The dragon wrapping around the hilt sounds cool, that'll be a bit like one of my tattoos only that's 2 dragons wrapped around a microphone (use to be an MC back in the day!)
The dragon idea looks something like attached image and the text like in the 2nd image only in just in the aurebesh and not the sith font (although that could work too)

Gah the dragon would look great around the Bastion Hilt. I happen to have no artistic abilities. I have a black Bastion on order from SF Customs so the dragon in white would look great. Now to find someone who can create this for me!

This will be my first etch but I know it comes out darker than the base metal. The only way I could think of doing it would be to have it etched the have it filled with white enamel

I just noticed that the Bastion Hilt looks like it came off a base ie Death Star or Endor. Maybe you could incorporate some digital text on the hilt as well to emulate that.
