Using this tutorial http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/sabers/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15
How do i connect 220/470ohm and 1mohm Resistor?
Do I connect w/wire?
Would I need circuit Board?

Just conect them with a wire. Resistors don't have a negative or positive side, so just stick them in as shown.

So do you have to cut the wires and solder the resistors on?

Yes, you have to splice it in.

When adding the led and resistors to the EL inverter, does this make the blade any less brighter?

Nope, only if you run them inline before the inverter. Even then powering a little LED wouldn't make it any dimmer to the eye.
