A P4 is gonna blind someone. Google flashing led kit, there are many.

Personally, I don't dislike the original design. It's not much of a "saber" though. Maybe if he goes for a shorter blade it can be similar to a Chinese war sword or a double bladed saber with... well, one blade.

Hilt length is really just personal preference. Most saber hilts in the film were 11 to 11.5 inches long. Most sabers I see here are 12 to 15. I don't recall many with exposed crystals or blinking lights either, so you can do your own thing.
Will he use it for dueling at all? If not, if you can find a way to re-enforce the middle of the original design, it wouldn't be so bad. It kind of looks like an oboe or something, though. And I'd maybe do away with the activation box. It also resembles 2 complete sabers that are stuck together.

a 3-4 handed greatsword type saber with a lower detatchable saber dagger... O.o

Tim, we need that coupler! ^_^
