Some more 411 on the saber...

LDM (Grevious, Marc Di Carlo) will probably be posting a video soon enough showing the "start point" of the hilt. How it all went down:

* I wanted to build Anis a saber... I wasn't sure what parts I'd use or how it would look...
* One day, just on a whim, I saw some of Tim's auctions @ TCSS. So I bid.
* I won an auction, and in it came a bunch of TCSS parts + brass overlays!
* I decided "this is it, these are the parts we'll use"...
* I then wanted someone ELSE to have their hand in this... so I contacted LDM, sent the parts
* LDM constructed a hilt that would meet the needs of CF + the battery solution I had in mind
* Once the hilt came to me... at that point, it was "SaberSmith Sabbatical #1" time...
* I thought: "I'll wait until Erv arrives, and we can do some of the electronics work TOGETHER"...
* With basically three of our hands into the project, I think it makes the saber all that more special.

Finally, there are unique boot sounds and menus that make the saber "personalized" for Anis. It's hard to explain, but... you guys will see more footage about this later on...
