| Saber 01: Exar Kun's double-bladed saber Blade Color: Blue Built By: Exar Kun Wielded By: Exar Kun I actually gave the original version of this saber hilt to my little cousin before I got a scanner. However, they moved and from then on, it has been a lost weapon. So, I tried to rebuild it as best I could...but this time I used PVC instead of crap from the garage. Now, I want to warn you, this is in no way an exact replica of his double-bladed weapon, I saw the picture for it once, and put this saber together within the next hour.  |
|||
Version
1: I am already in the process of making a
better looking saber, but this is as close to the
original one as i could get it without using the exact
same parts as before. |

|||
| Saber 02: Training Lightsaber of Jean-Luc Walker Blade Color: Ruby Built By: Jean-Luc Walker Wielded By: Jean-Luc Walker This was the weapon used by the Jedi Apprentice character based off myself. He lost this saber while fighting in a Jedi Duel At Baal Legato's Jedi Academy on Corellia. He later builds a saber to match that of his twin brother, Jarod, feeling the red blade made him seem much darker a Jedi than he really was.  |
|||

| Saber 03: The Qu Rahn/Kyle Katarn saber [reference
picture provided my Kal Joren, Thank you Kal] Blade Color: Green Built By: Qu Rahn Wielded By: Qu Rahn, Kyle Katarn Being a die-hard fan of the game Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, I based my third lightsaber construction on this awesome weapon. The design was made by a friend of mine named Kal Joren [see links page for his site]. He sent me the parts list, and I got started. In the game, this saber is destroyed, and Kyle takes up the saber of the then-dead Jedi, Yun, to defend himself. Yun died saving Kyle's life, giving him a chance to defend himself against Sariss.  |
|||
Final Product: This is what It looks
like after I finished the weapon. The picture is
small, but true to the weapon. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 04: The Keiran Halycon/Corran Horn
lightsaber, built in I, Jedi Blade Color: Silver Built By: Corran Horn Wielded By: Corran Horn After reading this book a few times, I figured I just HAD to have the weapon of such a great character. Below are the two best reference pictures I could find. Corran built this saber as Jenos Indiana while infiltrating the Invids. He left his grandfather's lightsaber, with the man he was raised to call him grandfather [read the book].   |
|||
Final
Product: It turned out pretty well, in my
opinion. I had to improvise a little on the center,
because as one can see [or can't see rather] Corran's
hand is in the way on both reference pictures. So,
I added the grip of the speeder bike there. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 05: Sith War Protosaber [Picture
Courtesy of Luuksabers, Thanks!] Blade Color: Blue Built By: Jedi of Old Republic Wielded By: Jedi of the Old Republic These can be seen during the time of Naga Sadow, Dark Lord of the Sith. They were hand-carved from durasteel, making them truly unique. I don't plan on making mine with a hand guard like this one, because I'll be dremmeling it out of wood, and wood that thin will break. They also had a hip-mounted power cell and a power cord extending from the bottom that I will make later.  |
|||
Final
Product: It doesn't look exactly like the reference
picture but It isn't supposed to, either. I plan on
making more than one, so don't think this is it. I
will likely have three or four of them before I am done.    |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 06: Nejaa Halycon's Lightsaber [as seen
on cover of I, Jedi] Blade Color: Silver Built By: Nejaa Halcyon Wielded By: Nejaa Halcyon, Keiran Halcyon/Corran Horn I figured since I have done Corran true so far, I may as well get his grandfather's saber as well. Its kinda dull, with just a activation switch on it, that is about it. I think I can do that. =^)  |
|||
Final
Product: I think it came out very well, and I am
planning on making this a "guts" saber. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 07: Custom Saber Blade Color: Golden Orange Built By: Reklaw Wielded By: Reklaw, Dah-wu Reowyn I got the idea for this while looking at cutscenes from Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. I was trying to find a good shot of Kyle's new saber to no avail. Either way, I was inspired by these pictures to map out what I thought the saber itself looked like. I decided to do like Kyle had to do and build this from scrap around my garage. NE way, here is my final result. The first picture is my paint version of the blueprints. The picture of the actual saber should be up within a day or two. As far as the history of the saber in the Star Wars Universe, the saber was built by Reklaw in his training with Master Skywalker after leaving the Shadow Academy. Once he reaches the level of Jedi Knight, he built himself a new saber, and passes this massive training saber onto his new apprentice, Dah-wu Reowyn. Reowyn eventually builds his own sabers, but with an interesting twist.  |
|||
Final
Product: It is kinda longer then I had planned, but
it is cool nonetheless. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 08: Yun Saber Blade Color: Yellow Built By: Yun Wielded By: Yun, Kyle Katarn This is likely the coolest lightsaber in the game Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. However, it is also the hardest one to construct hardware. Despite the enormous odds against me, I have finally unraveled the secret behind Yun's lightsaber. I will built this saber, and if it turns out ok, I will make a tutorial on it. This i the first hardware attempt at this saber I have found to date. Which means, I WILL BE THE FIRST!!! The reference pictures done match up 100%, but they are close enough to deal with.   |
|||
Final
Product: Well, it didn't turn out nearly as
well as I had hoped, but that is because of the thing I
used for the emitter head. I also think it is a
little long, but I am happy with it. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 09: Jacen Solo Shadow Academy
Saber Blade Color: Dark Blue Built By: Dark Master Brakiss Wielded By: Jacen Solo In the book "Shadow Academy", Brakiss tried to temps Jacen Solo by building him a lightsaber. It was described as a black cylinder with wide finger grips. Well, I added a little more detail to it then just the description. I plan to mount this from a Cell Phone Clip, despite it was built in a time of D-rings.  |
|||
Final
Product: I really like the way this turned out.
It looks really good. The finger grips are on the
other side, and when I get a chance, I'll take pictures
of it from the other side so you can see them. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 10: Lightsaber of Michelangelo Reklaw Blade Color: Gold Built By: Michelangelo Reklaw Wielded By: Michelangelo Reklaw This is likely my first true custom saber. I don't know where the idea for this came from, I was just sitting in summer school, bored mindless, and I just started drawing. I plan to mount this from a Cell Phone Clip. The back story on the saber is that Michelangelo Reklaw was once student of the Shadow Academy, bested by only Zekk and Vilas, the two top students of Tamith'Kai and Brakiss. He was amongst those in the attack on the Yavin 4 Academy, and upon the defeat of Brakiss, and destruction of the Shadow Academy, decided to train with Master Skywalker so as to learn both aspects of the Force, and become stronger. |
|||
Final
Product: This saber came out much better then I
thought it would. It feels really good in my hands,
and isn't as hard on the wrists as a normal blade, due to
the angle of the grip. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 11: Ralph McQuarrie Saber Blade Color: White Built By: Luke Starkiller Wielded By: Luke Starkiller This was originally the one-handed saber used by Luke Starkiller, the main hero of the original Star Wars storyline. Starkiller was a combination of Han and Ben...young, dashing, powerful. I would have also, personally, liked for this to have become Yoda's lightsaber. It was the perfect size, and it would have made use of a distinctly earlier time in the Jedi. But, alas, tis not so. NE way, here is a drawing of what I wanted the saber to look like.  |
|||
Final
Product: It turned
out better then I could have imagined. I scanned it
next to a lighter so y'all can see how small it actually
is. After I get a good camera, I will take pictures
of the details of the emitter disk and the pommel.
Now, holding it in my hand, I wished they had made this
Yoda's saber even more. Grr. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 12: Shadow Academy Saber Blade Color: Red Built By: Second Imperium Wielded By: Zekk, Vilas, Reklaw, all students of the Shadow Academy, Brakiss In the Young Jedi Knights books series, the Shadow Academy, led by Brakiss, mass-produced red lightsabers for their Dark Jedi army. They ALL looked the same, and none of them were all that extravagant.  |
|||
Final
Product: Well, I
feel the saber turned out pretty well, while not EXACTLY
to plan. It looks pretty mass-produced to me. =^) |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 13: Emperor Palpatine Saber Blade Color: Blue Built By: Unknown Wielded By: Palpatine This saber was first seen on the Holocron Stand in Dark Empire. How it was built, when it was built, and who exactly built it are really unknown.  |
|||
Final
Product: It turned
out better then I could have ever hoped. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 14: Luke Skywalker's Darksaber Blade Color: Red Built By: Luke Skywalker Wielded By: Luke Skywalker This saber was first seen near the end of Dark Empire, when Luke and the Emperor Reborn came for the Holocron at the secret Rebel Base. The saber is extremely simple, and I just think it is a great weapon.  |
|||
Final
Product: Somehow,
the hilt ended up with a slight curve to it, but I feel
it is still true to the weapon. I'll likely redo
it, and make it a little more pleasant to look at, just
without making it too much. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 15: Custom Light-Sai of Dah-wu Reowyn Blade Color: Blue Built By: Dah-wu Reowyn Wielded By: Dah-wu Reowyn, Reklaw This saber was built by a creative Jedi Apprentice, and dear friend to Jedi Reklaw. Dah-wu was assigned to Reklaw as an apprentice in the pairing program at Master Skywalker's Praxeum. His first saber was given to him by his mentor, Jedi Knight Reklaw. While grateful of the gift, Reowyn later builds his own unique weapons. He wields these dual light-sais with deadly accuracy, using the smaller blades to do things a normal saber cannot, such as deflect blaster bolts in two different directions at once.  |
|||
Final
Product: I personally like how these turned
out. They are very comfortable in the hand, and
they flow like they should be real Jedi weapons.
The hilts themselves are pretty bland looking, being just
a metallic charcoal color. They do have brass
thumbscrews for activator buttons, but that is it. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 16: Custom Lightsaber of Jordan Daeloth Blade Color: Orange Built By: Adrian Daeloth Wielded By: Adrian Daeloth, Jordan Daeloth This saber was used by one of my Fan-Fiction Jedi Characters named Jordan Daeloth. It was a saber built by his grandfather, a Jedi Master by the name of Adrian Daeloth. This saber was abandoned by his grandfather during the purge, hidden deep underground, to be left in its hiding place until the rebirth of the Jedi Order, and thus, when Jordan joined the Jedi Praxeum, this saber was sent to him on the moon of Yavin IV by his grandfather just before he died. I started this saber in hopes to build the saber seen on the Single Player Menu of Dark Forces 2:Jedi Knight, but decided it would be a better choice to do this saber due to its significance to my own little corner of the Star Wars universe.  |
|||
Final
Product: Due to a mistake on my part while
dremmeling the hilt so it would fit together, it acquired
a slight curve to the bottom, but it is still a wonderful
saber, and I am very pleased with it. The
weathering given to the saber is my favorite part, making
the saber look its age. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 17: Lightsaber of Zeus Reklaw Blade Color: Blue Built By: Zeus Reklaw Wielded By: Zeus Reklaw I actually decided to do this saber after seeing another saber made of all pre-fabricated PVC joints and the like. I loved how well it turned out, so I decided to d one of my own, and it turned out really well. I added a back-story to this weapon. It belongs to one of the two Jedi sons of Michelangelo Reklaw [Zeus and Ares].  |
|||
Final
Product: Wow!
All I can say about this saber is that it turned out MUCH
better then my earlier sketches of it. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 18: Clan Saber of Doragon Reklaw Blade Color: Green Built By: Nak-ta Clan Wielded By: Doragon Reklaw This is the clan saber of Michelangelo Reklaw's great-grandfather, Doragon. It is very loosely based off both the RotJ Luke and Ki-Adi-Mundi sabers, and it shares one of the two sanctioned blade colors of the day, green.   |
|||
Final
Product: I was really just going for a fast saber
that looked similar to one of those used in the Geonosis
battle, so that I could blend another character into that
battle. It's not a 100% replica of either, nor was
it meant to be. The paint job looks like hell on
purpose. I meant it to look as if found many years
after Doragon Reklaw's death. Its also missing an
activator switch, another intentional mistake.
Doragon is a cocky, powerful Jedi...due to that, he made
his saber one that only a Force-wielder could use, by
hiding the activation switch inside the hilt. |

Saber 19: Lightsaber of Exiled Jedi
Jean-Luc Walker --No Inspiration...I just let the Force
guide me through Lowe's-- |
|||
Final
Product: This saber is only one of four or five I
have built out of metal, and I am extremely happy with
the way it turned out. It is extremely sturdy, and
has a good weight to it. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 20: Lightsaber of Ares Reklaw Blade Color: Acid Yellow Built By: Ares Reklaw Wielded By: Ares Reklaw One of the sons of Master Jedi Michelangelo Reklaw, Ares is a powerful exponent of the Force. He holds his father's outlook on the Force not having sides. Ares built this saber during his Jedi training, keeping to a more traditional design rather than his father's and brother's views of flashy, unique sabers.  |
|||
Final
Product: I really like this saber because of the
texture of the charcoal paint. I painted it with
Rust-Oleum Hammered Black, and it gave it a really neat
look. |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 21: Double Bladed Lightsaber of Joshua
Gilandro Blade Color: Magenta Built By: Joshua Gilandro Wielded By: Joshua Gilandro This saber was built by me for no reason, and then the friend of mine who the character of Joshua Gilandro is based off of asked for a stunt saber with two blade so he could do his taiji [tai chi] 5ft staff forms with it...just for fun. I jumped on the opportunity to turn such a cool looking hilt into a double bladed lightsaber. The design is a modification of the one I used for Zeus Reklaw. The design is simple, yet looks very awesome. I thought about making it breaking apart into two short-sword sabers, but I don't know if that will hold well.  |
|||
| Final
Product: I should build double bladed sabers
more often. This think look and feels
AWESOME. I decided to keep it one piece for the
stunt hilt, which is what I made so he could use it for
his forms. I also made a prop hilt, which I will
keep. [Picture Coming Soon] |
|||
|
|||
| Saber 22: Lightsaber of General Obi-wan Kenobi Blade Color: Electric Blue Built By: Obi-wan Kenobi Wielded By: Obi-wan Kenobi, Anakin Solo This is likely one of the more well-known lightsabers in all of Star Wars. It was first seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope in the hands of Old Ben Kenobi. It will also be in the upcoming movie, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The saber is later found in Bast Castle, Vader's personal caste on Vjun, by Anakin Solo, second son of Han and Leia. Below, I drew out exactly how I meant to make the weapon, and did so in color coded scheme, just in case anyone else wants to try it my way.  |
|||
| Final
Product: While it is not 100% replica, or
100% as planned, I still LOVE the saber. I had a
great deal of trouble with the six knobs on the pommel,
so I just left it a ring. I figured it was close
enough for a replica made of PVC. [Picture Coming Soon] |
|||
|
|||
Saber 23: Apprentice Saber of Gaelin
Bono --No Inspiration. This saber was built
by a friend who just let the Force guide him through
Lowe's.-- |
|||
Final
Product: The saber turned out pretty good,
especially for a first time design by Gaelin. It
has a good feel to the hand, and is very well balanced. |
|||
|
|||
Saber 24: Lightsaber of Master
Jedi Michael Walker --Based off Jarod/Jean-Luc Walker Saber-- |
|||
| Final
Product: This saber was designed as it was to
paid homage by the hilts of Jarod and Jean-Luc
Walker. Michael Walker is meant to be an ancestor
to them, and both Jean-Luc and Jarod decided to mimic
their sabers after that of their great Jedi
heritage. [Picture Coming Soon] |
|||
|
|||
Saber 26: Skywalker Family Saber |
|||
| Final
Product: For a PVC saber, I think this turned
out pretty well. I am not sure what I am going to use for
the grips, but hopefully I will find something soon. The
hilt just looks goofy without them. [Picture Coming Soon] |
