First lightsaber questions

[Kelso]

Hello,
I want to build my first lightsaber but I have 1 problem. I don't have a solder nor have I ever used one.
Is it possible to build a standard lightsaber with no sound, without having to solder?

I think you can! Check out the Modular Wiring System parts in the store. They use JST connectors which you can put together without a soldering iron. You'd probably want to get an MWS buckpuck to drive your LED.

^^^ The MWS is pretty friendly to those who don't want to solder, but I would definitely recommend learning how to solder in the near future. An okay soldering iron for small electronics work is about 30-40 bucks and with that you can do just about anything saber-related. This way, you won't have to cram a bunch of JST connectors into your hilt!

Are these all the electronic parts and wires i'd need?

That looks right to me! Make sure to get the right buckpuck for your LED; red & amber ones run at 700mA, others at 1000mA. Depending on the length & configuration of your hilt, you might also want to get a JST extension (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/JS...-AWG-P823.aspx for example) if there is a long distance you need to cover inside the hilt to get from the battery pack / buckpuck to the LED.
