Prequel Era Padawan Saber

[FenderBender]

Hey everyone! :D

This is a saber that we took great joy in building. It is for a little boy named Ronnie. Like a lot of little kids Ronnie pronounces lightsaber, "life saver". we decided that we wanted to go for a prequel era feel, so we went with a 8" hilt in a clanish design and satin finish, with the lathed grooves in contrast. The red push button helps to finish the look of the age. We used a Hasbro "economy" board, and it is igniting a Seoul P4 blue through a thinwall 28" blade with 6ft of film. The accent LED below the button is a flasher that switches from red to blue on each flash. Very cool. We really liked doing this saber, cause we like making kids happy :D and we hope that Ronnie gets many years of enjoyment out of it.

Nice saber. I think you pulled of the prequel padawan look very well.

Fantastic work dude!!!

See? You can do a reasonably simple one without making the awe-factor any less!!!

[Obi-Ben]

The contrast between the frosted and polished parts really bring it home. Excellent idea! Very unique.

[DJMoonbass]

wonderfull fender. that really warms my heart that you would build such a nice saber for a sweet little boy.

Great job, Fender. Very nice design on the hilt. I'm sure the boy will be very satisfied with his new "life saver."

Looks kinda like a spin-off of a storm tropper saber, looks great!
