This is my first saber with sound. Even with a few hiccups detailed on other threads, I couldn't be happier with how this turned out.

I envisioned this as one of the many training lightsabers used by younglings during the Old Jedi Order. In the aftermath of the Purge, an enterprising clone spared several lightsabers from destruction and sold them into the black market as curios. After passing through many owners (one of whom modified it in a way that would make the Imperial Ministry of Redundancy Bureau proud), it came into the possession of a clever tinkerer who was able to bypass the safety protocols of the saber and make it fully functional as a weapon. Still, without the proper training, it is little more than a relic of a more civilized age.
It makes use of methods in Madcow's simple saber tutorial on YouTube. A 3.7V Li-Ion battery powers a Tri-Cree Royal Blue-Royal Blue-White array with Flash-on-Clash thanks to the PEX board and a Nano Biscotte sound card.
