Luka, looking good. It’s great you are taking up the mantel on this. I think you’ve nailed the base of the effect. As DominicCobb mentioned, I think the final polish would be adding some small sparks. Although, at the same time, I wouldn’t want the saber to be “kylo saber - Light side edition” in which it is more subtle and not trying to carbon copy it.

Also Rik, I don’t know what the “Official” answer is via comics, books, etc … but I am sure Kennedy’s response of “The Force is Female” is probably the answer. ;P
