Hey all. Dante here. Unfortunately, it seems that Balance of Power is going to be halted until further notice, considering i've torn my ACL (Shouldnt be doing backflips on a bad knee.) and the fact that about three people dropped out of the production.
However, with all this newfound interest in Star Wars and Jedi, i've become quite the avid duelist. And, naturally, i'd like a saber (or apparently a couple of them) to choose from so i may duel with friends, family, and maybe even start a fan film of my own. Multiple sabers would certainly help with fan films, as well as allowing friends to borrow them if they needed a duelling blade.
So i've been coming up with some designs, and i wanted a bit of feedback. I've come up with four designs...well, ok. three designs; four sabers in all. (dear god is this gonna empty my wallet quickly.) I would love to hear what you all think of the designs; what you like about them, where there could be improvement, and maybe a couple of names would help too, considering i'm blanking on blade names these days.

The first two are my duel wielding sabers, but can also stand on their own, perhaps as master/padawan blades. The second design is much more sith-inspired. And the third is just to kinda round everything out, with a sort of sage-like consulor saber. Funny thing is, the last one was supposed to be a small, simple design, and ended up being the longest saber of the bunch, and will probably be one of the more difficult ones to build. But yeah, that's enough backstory, tell me what you think!
Discuss :P

The only question I have is: will the sith blade have 4 prongs at the bottom? The drawing only shows 2 right now, but I'm hoping that there are 2 more on the other side that I can't see. The only reason I ask is that with just those 2 prongs showing, it kind of looks like a wrench. Or maybe the shape just needs to be altered a little. But I love the one prong at the top next to the blade. Super cool!!!
Great job, man! -

You know, my girlfriend also said it looks like a wrench lol. I may just put three claws on the end, but that might make it difficult to unscrew the pommel and get the battery pack in/out of the hilt...but i guess that's trial and error. For look's sake, i can alter it and put three claws on the pommel.
