I got one of the original EU Leia sabers of of eBay recently and I plan on turning it into a sith style saber.
Once all my parts arrive, I will do a test fit (the obi sb fits perfectly) and do the necessary drilling for the AV switch. Then its off to powder coat it black. I'm still torn between wrinkle, gloss or matte. (any suggestions would help)
Here is a pic of her all broken down.
