Not to worry. I consulting my ancient Jedi breathing and meditation techniques.... :)
ETA? We shall see how efficiently the Rebellion members get the KotOR sabers finished up, but I would plan on at least a "few" of these happening in 2013...could be all of them. We are actually just about finished with another design or two...my build log still has hints in it, lol.

Good answer, thanks :) I know that question often doesn't win any friends...
I feel like Obi cut me in half again. No that's not it...oh it was the good general cutting my wallet in half. :D
I like everything posted up for the ideas except for one item. Going to need two of one of those up there too. ;D
Brings up a good point...any designs that everyone hates?
I just hope that everyone who has been bugging me to make more Jacen Solos jumps on this. I "donated" my original design to the Rebellion to get these done at a lower price point than if it were my personal run. The Jacens are EXACT copies of my hand machined original and I ma very proud to offer it in this context.
Personally, I am glad to see the obi-wan apprentice saber on that list. It has been a favorite of mine since pretty much forever.

Is this a long established hilt? I thought it was made up.

It is my understanding the hilt is based of this image here:
I've been wanting that obi hilt ever since I saw the book cover.
Edit: perfect example - cover of Legacy of the Force: Fury - Ben suddenly has Obi's TPM saber somehow: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070711000845/starwars/images/3/3c/FuryCover.jpg (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070711000845/starwars/images/3/3c/FuryCover.jpg)I believe there is actually a story behind that, but I can't remember where I read it. The padawan hilt from the book cover was my suggestion for a run, and I always imagined that one being his original training saber that the Temple provided, whereas the one seen in Episode I was the first one he actually built himself upon being accepted as Qui-gon 's apprentice.

That said, I kind of hate that the saber exists. Lore-wise, his padawan hilt was his TPM hilt. He was still a padawan in TPM. The book cover was just...well a lazy artist. And this is a recurring theme with the book covers, and why almost every NJO jedi has the same basic saber (basically a luke hero with tiny tweaks) - lazy artists.
By comparison, the continuity of the comic book artists is really quite good, albeit a few lapses here and there. As a saber fan it just bugs me how the cover designers are often the only source we have to go on for certain characters, and so often they're terrible, inconsistent, or disagree entirely with established canon.
Thank you everyone (for the input). This is a great time to make yourself heard, because we will try to use the input that we receive to determine the build order. Remember, the renders of the Exar Kun will be posted soon as well...my personal favorite.
*Edit* Stay frosty: We still seem to be having a scoche of trouble with the whole "trim level" question ;) *takes out spoon* PCv2.0, CSv1 and most likely stunt. ;D
OMG! i'd be down for a set of jango blasters in a heartbeat. though for sound... Would a BC fit?

while not technically "in the pipe" (pun intended ?), smaller alternatives are discussed at the moment.
No, Deke, I'm fully aware of how Mara got hold of Luke's lightsaber from ESB. I have the novels where Luke gives it to her in my collection, . What I'm thinking I remember reading was that there was a New Jedi Order expedition to Geonosis where either Tionne Solusar or Danni Quee found Obi-wan's AOTC saber in the ruins and returned it to Luke....or it was the one kicked into the reactor shaft on Naboo, and someone found it and returned it to Luke....He eventually passed it on to Ben, finding it fitting that he should be using his namesake's lightsaber. Just can't remember if it was in the legacy of the Jedi or somewhere in the star wars Insider magazine, but I'm thinking it was in Legacy of the Jedi: Exile when Ben was on Ziost....just not sure.Edit: perfect example - cover of Legacy of the Force: Fury - Ben suddenly has Obi's TPM saber somehow: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070711000845/starwars/images/3/3c/FuryCover.jpg (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070711000845/starwars/images/3/3c/FuryCover.jpg)I believe there is actually a story behind that, but I can't remember where I read it.
Maybe you're thinking of this?: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Lost_Lightsaber
But that was Anakin/Lukes graflex, not Obi Wan's. That saber eventually was given to Mara Jade, which she sometimes used alongside her own. Obi's original was lost in TPM, and the second was taken on Geonosis (I like to think that LDM, er I mean, Grievous took it, but that's not Lore-supported).

It is also possible that Ben simply recreated the lightsaber himself because he liked the design....but I'll that probably never happens, right? ;)
But this is all a discussion for another topic.
Why no love for underlord?
I personally love it, but I am pretty biased towards clan sabers.
Double set of Westar (Jango Fett) Blasters... mmmmmmmm :D :D :D :D :D
the NB is about the same size as the cs from what i understand, so i dont see why they wouldnt fit
im hoping the blades are 1" i spar a lot with my sabers and would want the option to do so with these
Another Obi padawan hilt isn't so far fetched, seeing as he's lost his lightsaber in every one of the prequels. Ironic joke about this weapon is your life, blah, blah, blah... Get a lanyard already, Kenobi! :D
Great stuff GG. I'm interested in the Kyle Katarn and my apprentice saber. I assume I'll be getting the latter free of charge?By that logic, my former padawan, I should be receiving a free copy of the VV/SC Qui-gon saber soon. ;)

Y'all have no gripes. I should be getting 4 free generic-Obi-Luke-Clan-ish sabers...one for each of my Durasteel arms. ;D

I like the KK saber, and I've always wanted an Obi Apprentice hilt. I wish the pommel was more like the solid ones that were made, but it's still a cool design.
Definitely down for one Jacen Solo hilt.
Possibly an empty if they are available that way, or maybe with the full treatment with a soundcard.
Jango blaster is of interest to me as well :D
Would love to see a Naboo chromed blaster someday. That weapon would be more desirable because it is smaller.
Will the Jango blaster come chromed like in the movie? (Are they chromed or just really shiny in the movie?)
Other than an obi Tom or ahsoka that katarn is probably one of the most coveted designs for me. Hard to stop thinking about that hilt now.

No chrome. That would not fit with the Rebellion's stated business model. Chroming would add at least $100 per saber and that is pretty steep for one feature. The Rebellion really wants to keep ALL of their products affordable/obtainable for as many folks as possible. None of them will be empties...PCv2.0/CSv1.x/stunt are the trim levels for sabers and the blaster will have sound/no sound option.

No offense, sir. But it's true that you drop/lose you lightsaber more than anyone else. My cubscout leader used to say: lanyard it - or lose it.
Well...it seems as though there is significant interest in all of the designs that we will likely move forward on all of them. I will also post the Exar Kun very soon and it will be in the rotation as well.
People probably want the Exar Kun first.

LOL, I would... ;D But, I have wanted that saber for nearly 7 years, so I could be a little biased. ;D

ummmmmmmm if you wanted it so badly why havn't you build one yourself. I mean you totally have the fu to do so...well at least I think you do. so ummmm get on it. LOLZ! This is supposed to be a compliment by the way!
OMG Exar Kun!!! LOVE!!!
When I'll see an Ulic Qel-Droma too, I'll be happy forever and ever :P

I can't find the images for the Exar Kun... is it in a different thread?
The render hasn't been posted yet Space. I believe the General said it will be up shortly :).
That's a totally different saber than the one I've seen as the Ulic Quel Droma. I guess he is another one with multiple sabers.

are there any jedi that only had one at this point? :D
Sweet monkey jesus I need a pair of those blasters! *Drools* :P I still have no idea how you guys are gonna fit sound in those puppies, but I would still be happy with stunts.
I would certainly be interested in all of these projects.

These two are the most famous interpretations (the first being attributed to his brother Cay, although in some covers you can recognize that emitter instead of the one from the second image) of Ulic's saber:
I am glad to see love for the Kun. It is certainly a "stylized" hilt, but it is one of the only Sith Sabers with a non-red blade. I mean, what Sith wouldn't want a Cyan-bladed lightsaber after all? It just makes it so unique...and Exar Kun's spirit was such a nasty character that I just identify with this saber. Believe me, I wanted this one for my OWN run, but have consented to allow it to be a rebellion project to make it more accessible to more folks.
:o
Whoa the Exar Kun sabers are sooo dang bee-yoot-ee-full [in an evil spiky Sithy way]...
BRAVO General for allowing it into the Rebellion!
Awesome looking designs but I'm trying to figure out where would sound vent on the double one? Reverse sound?

All shall be revealed...when we decide, lol.
@DS3...wiki is...well, wiki. All of the images I have seen over the years depicted it as a Cyan hue. Of course, many consider BIN 6 blue and BIN 1 Cyan the same color. The great thing is that folks can have "blue" blue or "cyan" blue...whichever they prefer! :D
Exar Kun looks very cool GENERAL 8)

Indeed. The render is pure WIN. The saber will be EPIC.

I like that the double isn't just two sabers bolted together, in keeping with the original art.
Want Exar Kun's hilt tooooooo! dang you LDM!
I love the Exar Kunn! I need one of the doubles. I like that the double is only one saber. I know what I want for Christmas besides a pair of jango blasters.

I did a poll for you and Exar Kun was the winner:)
Once we get the KotOR's out the door, we will collate this info and decide which one is next ;) Maybe another 4-5 weeks or so.

Seriously though. When can we sign up for the next build General?
