Ok, here we have the need to do a slanted piece. It's located below the peck and attaches the rib guard.

See how I cut the strip at an angle? It makes it easier to get closer seams.

When attaching angled pieces its better to give yourself more room. See here where I marked the edge and gave myself more room to attach the strip.

After taking those photos I realized that I missed a detail... added here.
This is awesome. I've got a set of Jedi armor I made 2 years back as a Comic-con costume, and I plan on making another set this year, maybe for WonderCon, and I plan on using EVA foam for it. I'm bookmarking this thread so I don't lose it. Keep up the good work Echo4.
So, for the cloak I purchased 5 yards (prolly too much) of medium brown cotton flannel fabric for $30. I'm sure you'll be able to find cheaper someplace else.
For the body suit/under garment I purchased 10 yards of Brown Polyester Stretch Gabardine Fabric from hand****fabrics for $18. I plan on wearing something underneath like thermal underwear or moisture wicking compression top and bottom depending on the weather.
Photobucket is free, and quick to set up. :)
Here is my saber without paint.

This is a stunt saber setup with a charging plug.
Inside:
Rebel Star LED & MHS Heatsink Module (Royal Blue) w /1ohm 2w resistor
Panasonic Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 3400mAh PCB Protected Rechargeable Battery
MWS Short Latching 16mm AV Switch (White Ring) w/ 20mA DynaOhm™ Variable Resistor
2.1mm Power Jack
I don't have the recharging plug ported out on the body of the saber yet because I wasn't sure where I wanted it.
Here is the schematic that Silver Serpent helped me with that I modified from Big_Furry_Oaf's post.
