Reminds of the Kylo concept art saber.

Machined a custom Kotor style lightsaber to go with my cosplay, a concept Asajj Ventress hilt (center), and a Sith Assassin double bladed saber (had RGB leds in both blades). Also wired by me using various Plecter Labs boards, but etched by ShadowCrestSabers

Which do you prefer?
Raw aluminum 3 cell Mag lite conversion or red anodized 2 cell Maglite conversion? I also have a blue 4 cell at home not pictured I can use for the grip. I'm thinking of using that one for a double bladed Saber or as a Saber pike.
I have rubber T-track grips inbound. Eventually I'll mold the aluminum tracks I own, but for now I'm just bought a set from the Custom Saber Shop.
Blade is also getting purchased from the CSS. Red thick wall with bullet tip.
Eventually I'll add a sound card and speaker.

The design is great, but the edge of that cutout is super rough. I have got to train you in the art of Dremel-fu. 
There's a bunch of sabers on my workbench that I swear I'm going to finish up, photograph, and post soon. Soon I tell you!

Hey Kovnyn ! I like the raw aluminum better overall, but it needs a bit of dressing up yet. Right now it looks rather plain to me, but I bet with a black ring around it, or a set of grip strips, or some sort of pseudo-clamp, that it will look the part just fine.
The anodized red, and please don't take this as insult, but the first two things the that pop into mind are: road flare, and... dollar store flashlight. It just doesn't look like a lightsaber at all in the red. Again, maybe with some accoutrements it will read more like a lightsaber.
Have you left the flashlight guts intact? It'd be kinda neat to have a focusing emitter head for the times you didn't have a blade in the hilt. Almost a defacto blade plug in a way.
Looking forward to seeing how you finish it off!

Got some weathering and t track grips added. Removed the rubber switch cover to give the switch a better look. Blade will be here later today.
Light source is just the LED replacement bulb, so the focusing cone had to go. I'll be making a blade plug out of the blade, since I have to cut it down anyway.
Lovely!

And instantly it looks SO much cooler! And not like a flashlight at all. Who would've guessed the underside of that button looked so STARWARSY?
It's lookin' good, keep at it!

Just finished my first custom build. Simple, to be used as a test saber for Proffie. Inspired by General Kota!

If that question was for me then my blade is neopixel. Made it myself following the tutorial from TCSS

I haven't taken the Neopixel plunge yet, but that is on the list for an eventual build.
Have a bunch of internal parts ordered from The Custom Saber Shop that will eventually get a Nano Biscotte. The hilt itself will cost over a hundred dollars, and the internals will be even more. It's an addiction.
But having a quality sound card installed makes the Saber. Plus, I dig LEDs and little electronics projects like this are quite enjoyable.
