looks like i have seen this some where

J Lo you're a legend in the EL saber world.

unfortunately the EL saber world is 2 years behind

[Jedi-Loreen]

Thanks.
I even used to have my own fans, which is kind of weird.

Even though I have 5 EL sabers I never do anything with them now, except loan one out to someone who doesn't have any kind of light up saber, if they are doing some choreography with my lightsaber group for an event. And they really pale (or dim :P ) in comparision with the LED sabers that those of us in the group have.

They are mostly just part of my collection, now.

so are the 2 i built using your tutorial haha

[Jedi-Loreen]

I have 2 Parks, the M2 and the Fusion, another one made by some friends, and I built 2, one is a lightdagger that holds 20" 5/8" diameter blades, purposely made so it won't hold regular sized saber blades. :P

I'm going backward...

while everyone was making EL sabers 2 years ago, I was pushing to use LED.

now that everyone uses LED, I am making an EL one

ok, I want a nightlight saber for decoration so EL is well-suited with lower light conditions and no chances to overheat overnight while being powered by a wall-wart.

Plus I want an EL saber in my collection. I might try to get a plasma as well someday.



I think I remember trying to convince Loreen to try LED over TJA's website a while back.

[Barmic Rin]

I still can't get over the concept of J-lo's Groupies!!!!!!
Did they crowd outside your house with placcards saying "J-lo, Queen of EL!!!"?




Seriously, I think I may have read your guide at some point.

lol, most of you weren't around where she got the nickname too. She used her full persona name at ASAP and we shortened it to JLo because it was easier than Jedi Lorren Shadowcaster (Shadowchaser maybe?).

[Marsupial]

Unless I'm mistaken, Shadowchaser it is (was?).

The first time I saw "J-Lo" (as opposed to the versions we're used to see on ASAP, TJA, ETC) was here on TCSS. I found it funny.

[Jedi-Loreen]

If I was Darkside, then Shadowcaster would work better. lol

I don't look like Jennifer Lopez, but I didn't mind the, sort of, reference (homage?) to her, since I'm sure some people think about that when they see my nickname.

And my "Fans" didn't know me as J-Lo, but as Jedi Loreen, or Jedi Loreen Shadowchaser, depending on which message board they knew me from.

I found these boards after random searches trying to figure out how to build custom lightsabers. I started with buying a few master replicas, and found the ForceFX website. Later I wanted something more high end, so I nearly bought a Parks, and looked around Ebay, then eventually landed here on these forums. From that point on I've been here reading, buying and building.
