Not sure where to put this, so Moth3r, if you think it belongs somewhere else, go ahead and move it.

Just saw this today, and I thought you guys would appreciate it.  This dude’s been making custom replica lightsabers, and he has a blog/website/whatever that chronicles his process.  It’s very interesting, especially his ANH Luke lightsaber, which he went all-out on - it includes a blue glowing crystal and other stuff on the inside, for Christ’s sake!  He got Mark Hamill to sign it at Celebration V, too (Mark apparently remarked at how much better his replica was compared to the original prop, which was awkward and had shards of metal that would cut his hands).

Here’s the site:

BEAUTIFUL!!

That's the most extensive replica project I've ever seen.It puts the Force FXs to shame. Finally there is a perfect Damn Fool Idealistic Crusading lightsaber.

Makes me very sad that I'm hopeless with tools...

Um, I guess you've only seen her in the PT if you think she can't act.

Wow, those are really cool.  It really puts my homemade Vader saber to shame.

The best saber I ever made was a broken flashlight with a painted plunger handle shoved into it.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas
