Sounds pretty cool! Have you done something like that before?
No, but it's not that hard to put together. You take a blade and cut it into 1.5"/2" pieces and then add greeblies/crystals to the top of the plug to your liking and glue them down. I got the crystal wholesale from a Chinese distributor on ebay (a lot cheaper than USA sellers for whatever reason... probably from the SW region of Africa where a number of Chinese companies run mining consortiums :dry: ) so I'll hopefully have enough left over to make extras to sell. *shrugs* we'll see.

Good info For Tyeth and Borommakot. Some much EU canon is switching around I miss info more often than I'd like.

p.s. some of this info is repeated on starwars.com on the page titled This Weapon is Your Life. A history of the Lightsabers of four historical Jedi. Dated 1st May 2015.

This is an important source, For, because it contradicts what I read about synthetic crystals. A little more digging, and I found that Pablo Hidalgo (who made the statement that there were no synthetic crystals) also made a point to put on his twitter account "Don't cite tweets as canon" so, I guess we can't take that at face value. Hopefully that door remains open to us.

Hi Borommakot,

I thought it sounded strange that synth crystals were no longer considered part of the Star Wars universe as Sith sabers had them and Luke's saber needed an explanation. Also being on the starwars.com site I felt the information had authority.
Glad I could help.

For Tyeth
