Hi MommyHoldMe,

Don't worry great minds think alike! I like the fact that you picked up on that detail it shows you appreciate the designs and see possible inspirations.

To GreyJedi73,

I may have a name for your Saber, either "Amalgam" meaning a mixture or fusion and the second name "Ouroboros" the serpent eating it's own tail, a never ending cycle of Lightside and Darkside.

Kind regards,

For Tyeth

To For Tyeth,
Like the suggestions. Ouroboros would've been perfect apart from the dragon not eating it's own tail! The meaning is however perfect. I think I know what I'll call it, as it has Chinese dragons and the concept is equilibrium between the light and the dart, I think I'm gonna call it Pingheng which I believe means balance in Chinese. (If I'm incorrect, someone please let me know!) Just finished the design too anI'm very happy with it

Hi GreyJedi73,

Happy to offer the suggestions, I'm afraid I'm not an expert on Chinese though. Glad to see you've settled into the forum. I'll keep an eye on your project's progress.

You've hit that nail squarely. Regardless of how you've spelt it and from which dialect it has derived from, the English translation equates to it. The only other loose definition would be peace or harmony. I'm confident your phonetic spelling is correct and derives from Cantonese. The only area you'd want to be careful of if you intend on using the actual characters as part of your design.

Yhanks OvrcAHst,
I would love to learn Chinese but it's so difficult. Who knew there were so many different characters for the word dragon?!?! (looked into it before).
Looking forward to this little project even though my first order for the Arbiter hasn't even arrived yet and probably won't until mid April! Was gonna order a weathered Bane hilt today but I've decided to wait a few more weeks and get a warrior tier instead!

I hear what you're saying and eventually I do want sound. With the ASP about to launch I plan to buy the electronics I need from there and install it myself whether that be just the sound or gut the Bane and install light and sound as the new system seems to use quick connects and I can use the old internals for a stunt saber build.
As for my etch design, it's completed and looks something like this

And as for the force being with me.....THANKS! I've been a huge SW fan since I first saw A new Hope back in 77 Currently I'm "medically retired" due to a condition called sarcoidosis which unfortunately affects my lungs and eyesight so manual work or driving is pretty much a no-no. So I have all this time on my hands which is spent making music, compiling DJ mixes and graphic design. Then I discovered this great entity that is SABERS so being a fan of all things SW this was a natural thing to want to turn into a hobby!

Dude, I really like that look. So will you etch on one side of the hilt or have it wrap around?

It'll wrap around so the aurebesh on the right hand side will actually appear on the left and the sith text will be on the right. The dragons will also appear to wrap around the hilt with the angle they are positioned

What hilt are you getting, again?

This is for the Bastion. I have an Arbiter ordered and I'm planning on getting a Bane but I don't think this would fit on either for lack of open space

Thanks, my illness is just one of those things, it's beyond my control so I just roll with it!

I see what you mean about the grooves in the hilt. When it's released I'll ask someone for the dimensions of the open space, if it turns out too small I guess I'll just have to build a suitable hilt with the ASP!!! That'd be a shame lol. Either way the design won't go to waste.

Maybe something like this would be better suited?

That hilt would go great with the dragon part. Still think for the Bastion hilt it needs mechanical lettering of some sort. Maybe buy the Bastion and make that ASP so you have both.

I've still gotta practice yet but I'm confidant I can achieve the right result.

Without the correct measurements here's a rough mock up of what part of it could look like

Getting off the topic of Star Wars a little bit but all I can think of when I see the Bastion is Nightwing's escrima sticks.
With a nice blue in them and a cool blade plug they'd look awesome as part of a nightwing cosplay, even as a staff.
Shame SF don't have a spring release coupler, cause that would be cool.
Kinda weird that i see a lightsaber and think of escrima sticks though haha

Hi Ian O,

That isn't weird seeing escrima sticks, you might want to check out this saber design the talented Jaden Korr came up with in the ASP builder!

Jaden Korr's NightWing Escrima Sticks

There are quite a few Batman themed designs there.
I still cant get the Emperor's Throne-room from ROTJ out of my head when I see it.



kind regards,

For Tyeth

That is an awesome idea!! I posted a while back these would look great as a staff due to the windows on the emitter. But duel wielding these with a short 10"-15" blade in deep blue would be pretty badass.
