Oh god it's another Bronysaber! Yeah, it's been a little while, hasn't it? Well, this one was worth waiting for. I consider this one my magnum opus. My latest MHS-based saber designed, and named, after one of my favourite characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Twilight Sparkle. I think this one was named and designed perfectly on accident. I didn't expect to have a saber built 100% to spec for my own preferences. Twilight is a character known for extensively studying and researching just about everything before doing it. As it turns out, I did more work reading and researching than I did building the saber! Why? Because this is my first saber using the Petit Crouton!
Twi was originally going to have FoC and a Tri-Rebel RRW but I decided to step back and keep it simpler. I want to use the PC a few more times before I get more adventurous. Still, this project went very smoothly. Normally something screws up during the building process.. part of the success was having a pointed-tipped soldering iron. Total life saver!
I continually changed my opinion on what I wanted to do with the LED and if I wanted/could finish it by Halloween. The hilt parts, I could. A red lightsaber, I couldn't. I had to borrow a led from a different saber for Halloween but it was still really cool to have. I also have a blade plug now and it's just fantastic...
Anyway, no more babbling (I did that enough in the video.. which took several takes because I don't script my videos). Let's get to the specs! Many many thanks to Ty_bomber for all of his help, and for the confidence boost in building sabers. It will not be in vain, because it shall prove invaluable when I finally do build a Tri-Rebel saber.

And of course, the inspiration. This may be the last saber for the year, but I have a ton of designs left and I'll be aiming to do most of them after a well deserved break.. from the addiction.
