Very nice upgrades, Jango! The accent leds and new pommel add some nice details to an already beautiful, unique design. Leave it to you to take an already interesting piece and make it even better! Empiracle is worthy of a new CF with FoC. My only critique on the design is that handle on the top-seems out of place. I know GG and Lord Dracus came up with the design, and its beautiful, I'd just lose the handle and add a covertec, IMO.

Jango that pommel is an epic sweeet upgrade! (You really know how to take an awesome saber and hash out those finer details that truely make a piece feel UPgraded!)

I really like your SMD LED placement, what a great idea! In the picture showing the illuminated grip cutouts it looks like flying past the Battlestar Galactica or something. ;)

Great soundfont selection and custom stand, too!

LOL, thank you ;)

Never thought of it that way when I sketched it originally, but that does indeed describe it well.

@Jango, nice to see her upgraded with the v5.  Great job. :)
