I had a question for everyone here I have been playing with the idea of making a lightsaber like pong krells lightsaber or the temple guards lightsaber. Any thoughts or ideas would be awesome

There's got to be some tool... perhaps one of those all-in-one style tools that opens up like a swiss army knife... I know there's some object... some tool that would open like Pong Krell's saber and lock in the open position. Something like those utility knives where you have to depress a button to then fold it again. That way it would stay rigidly open like a staff when you wanted and then close up tightly again.

I'll keep thinking I know there's got be a heavy duty style lever that would work for this off of some already-existing tool or object.

There is this design on Thingiverse, but it doesn't seem to lock.  I think Space is on the right track with the pocket knife blade lock.  You might also make the joint keyed so that it stays locked in position as a staff or folded.

Arm on Fire has done both.  The mechanism looks rather complex, and custom, but you could see if he can make you one/some.

The pong krells were for the pong in this video: General Pong Krell and the 501st Legion Invade Dave Filoni's Celebration VI
