I hope I posted this in the right area. If not please forgive me. I am a mother of 4 growing boys that have expressed their addictions to lightsabers of course so I have been researching and working towards the building of a few for them. Of course being a tom boy and growing up in the theaters I have to admit my addiction to them too. shhhh don't tell anyone! LOL

Okay my question is has anyone made or found any plans for the Darth Sidious ROTS saber that they would be willing to share????

Thanks everyone and have a Happy new Year!

yup, wrong place really, but oh well...

Well, there's the MR high-res photos of it. I haven't seen anyone try to make this saber yet, but if you are a good wood worker I bet it could be done. The emitter and pommel could be milled out on a lathe easily. The main body would have to basically be sanded out to shape. The outside cover would probably be best done with a plastic you could cut and heat into shape then sand the curved edge.

Yep that's the one. I wish I had one to hold to go by. I think it measures 7.5" x 1.5" . Well I guess I will see what I can come up with..

Thanks for the pics. Those where better than the ones I had. they will come in handy.

You can pick up a Master Replicas scaled version for about $25 on eBay, then you'd have not only the exact look, but the exact dimentions. On those, everything is 45% of the actual scale so you'd do a 20/9 conversion. Are you set on building a functional EL or LED saber? xwing's suggestions would work great for a simple display hilt, but for a functional unit you'd have to go with metals, at least for the base tube.
