okay.. i have this screwed up luke rotj master replicas saber that im always complaining about, and now im finally going to do something about it. The problem is, i am new to any kind of repairs and i dont want the process to be overly complicated but i still want a quality look, so maybe someone can help me...

with my luke rotj, would it be wiser/cheaper/easier to simply convert it or to buy a new electronics setup and just attach the sound module. im wanting a 3watt luxeon white and i really really want to retain the cool sound and feel of the luke saber.. any advice??

Ask Tim when he will have a blade holder for the Luke MR, then just convert it to a luxeon
led.

Hold onto it until Tim makes conversion parts. If you're new to the scene, I would advise against trying to make your Luke ROTJ into an LED saber until you've either (A.) Gotten an MHS or (B.) Created a custom sink tube saber

Unless of course you don't care about beating it all to hell and/or breaking it (while trying to figure out what you're doing)...Then I'd tell you "BRING IT ON!!!"

i'll probably get yelled at for this one but who cares.
you can always send it in to Ultra Sabers and have him convert it for you

well i definately want to do it for myself, theres no way im paying a hundred dollars for it when i know i could do it myself for under 50, and as for breaking it its already screwed anyways, the led blank spots in the strips were so irritating that i just went ahead and disassembled it. It's just such a great hilt, the best i think for dueling and i dont want it to go to waste.
