Has anyone seen or made a custom sidious with sound? I just wanted to know if it was possible.

I'm sure its possible buddy, but only for a master. Its got alot of unusual cuts in it and would require alot of custom parts. Also you'd have to make the electronics very compact, if you wanna make an accurate sized one, as the hilt is rather short, but like I said, It won't be impossible.

Don made this one which is sidious like and had a Hasbro sound board:

Still want them though. I wouldn't be able to use them all at the same time without being part octopus.

Mostly. The emitter is machined and built around a copper pipe. The rest was cast around it.

I haven't seen many of these hilts. If I can ever get more I'll do them up and sell them.

seems kinda 'fat/wide'? or maybe the blade is a 3/4?

That one. They were made for EL hence 3/4" sockets.

So apparently mine was from a run of 20 in 2004. This seems to be a worthy pursuit and I believe the quality can be "one-up'ed".

You would think that the dark lord of the Sith would have something vaguely Sith-esque rather than the brass and chromed turd. Maybe something he could use with both hands. And claws, definitely claws.

Only the simple, brutal, and overt Sith would. Sidious is a refined, sophisticated, shadowy figure with a taste for the elegant and exotic.

I have that same sidious saber which i also have a 3w red/orange luxeon and i had a hasboro sound card in it with a smaller speaker jammed in there but you could barely hear it. It was OK at best , now i just run it w/o sound.

Im planning a new ancient saber with alot of brass and copper sort of like corbins killer penny but sleek so the switches dont get in the way when im dueling
