I have decided for my second saber to do an Obi-Wan/Luke hybrid. This saber is not yet complete as I have a few things left to complete.
Here is my Obi/Luke Hybrid: (apologies now for large pictar)

Innards:
Rebel Star Amber LED
700ma BuckPuck
6v battery pack
No sound
This will have Activation Box 1 attaching to the top row of screw holes. The standard black latching switch (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Push-onpush-off-switch-with-black-button--P40.aspx) fits inside with the button being vertical. I am wanting it to be horizontal, and coming out the side of the activation box. From what I've done research and what I'm wanting, I'm thinking of getting a tactile momentary switch ( maybe this: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/SPST-Momentary-tactile-switch-P641.aspx) and using the Pololu board. Any thoughts on that? Or maybe a better latching switch that will fit with the button out the side of the box.
Work needing done:
Trim screws down for bottom row next to pommel, so that screws dont interfere with threading of pommel and extension.
Thread holes in activation box for screw to fit on top row screw holes.
Drill larger hole in extension where box sits for wiring into box.
Drill and tap bottom hole from activation box into extension.
Wire together saber.
Have a tasty beverage.
Thoughts and suggestions always welcome.
