So... for those of you who don't dig on senseless hilt destruction and/or gratuitous displays of background projects - please look away now.
I'm calling this one Kenobi Transition because it's my lame attempt to somehow explain, in universe, how Obi-Wan's lightsaber went from a ROTS version to the ANH. To me the change has always been easily explained, and that's "maintenance": he had to fix his lightsaber and replace the ROTS parts with ANH parts. It doesn't really require too much suspension of disbelief... but a little helps. ;P The idea behind this one came from two places, the book Kenobi by John Jackson Miller and a Sideshow Collectibles statue of Obi-Wan Kenobi called Mythos. It portrays erbi a few years after ROTS on Tatooine.; he carrying 3 hilts, his, Anakin's, and Qui-gon's.

It's a stunt, because I wanted to try a few semi-new things and I like the simplicity of it.
Btw, yes, I know the top half is not the correct ROTS, and that the ANH greeblies are backwards. It was already configured as a ROTS, and only the foreward clamp hole was threaded for the rimmed transistor greeblie.

Weathering of the ROTS top half. It was supposed to be a halfway point between the two - bad enough so you can see how it becomes the ANH, but not so bad that you can't see that it was a ROTS.
The switch is on the clamp, and the switch connections are 1/4" copper tape "leads" that touch when the 2 halves are connected
