what should I use for a lightsaber?

Also if you do make a Vader or Anakin style and want it accurate as possible i suggest going here:

He sails accuarate industrial quality grips pre curved to fit a 1 1/2 inch pipe. Its the ones pictured above on my other saber(not the youngling one). 10$ for a pack of 6

Yeah, I've looked through that site, everything looks awesome. Someday I'll turn a pipe into an ESB Luke saber...

Also would love an ESB Han blaster. :love

You can use real camera flashes of course. Best deals are on eBay.
Here's my custom, and you-know-who's.

That must be some high quality paint. I got 3 cans for $8 for my Mando.

Well, it's Krylon spraypaint. I got a grey primer, a cherry red, and a navy blue (out of black:cry ). But, it should work out well.
I just finished cutting some thigh, shin, knee, and foot armor for my suit.
I didn't use and templates, and I have to give the knees a sharper angle. There's no details on the knee, so it's just a piece of armor.
I hope this turns out as good as I hoped. Wish me luck.

Depends on how much you are willing to spend. Parksabers makes awesome sabers or you could make one. The Big Yellow Box has instructions and parts lists so I recomend that. If you want a detachable blade go Parksabers. If you want a movie accurate saber go Master Replicas.
