[Sairon]

Looks wonderful, in the movie you say the maker shall stay un-named, but the video lable has the makers name right there.

[DJMoonbass]

Originally Banes saber was a standard saber, the author didnt check the history books (comics) ;)!

[swear000]

I think it is a good start and leaves room for the imagination if the creator was to somehow in vision a grip modification for allowing the crystal to be seen while still maintaining the characteristics of the grip.

[Zook]

another great one LDM.

Unfortunately, Bane has been pictured with several different hilts over the years. I'm yet to find any text with him actually building a saber...

Also, that hilt is fantastic!!!

The crystal chamber is great. I find those to be an impressive addition to sabers.

[DJMoonbass]
