This is kind of what i'm making.
So i guess the question is: what all electronics and wires do i need to make a sound/motion/clashing lightsaber with 1 blue accent led, a blue cree led and a green led switch that requires me to hold it for a second or 2 to turn on the saber?

Once you decide on the type of sound card you want to use, the respective manual will have diagrams. Also as you go through the forums, there are areas that have a couple of diagrams for the various sound cards, that you can use as a basis for your design. Take your time and look around, and read up, there is a lot of information to go through.

I'm only asking this because i haved looked everywhere on here and couldnt figure out what sound board and how to do the accent led and my biggest concern is the switch part making it have that lag time and not be a switch that clicks (hate the sound)

I did look and i found a couple diagrams but i couldn't find anything on the type of switch i'm try to build, i can probably gut my ultrasaber to figure out the wiring but that seems like more effort thatn it should be.

Ok i chose the Petit Crouton Sound Module V3.5 so i'll go from there lol

As for the click sound, according to the manual (found here: http://www.plecterlabs.com/Media/Doc....5-revA-GB.pdf), you can use either a latching or momentary switch for blade activation. The momentary switches do not click, but assuming it works like my Nano Biscotte, there won't be any lag, the blade will ignite immediately when you press the switch. You'll have to hold it a moment for the blade to close, however.

Actually last night when i got home i took apart my ultrasaber and that's what it does so i was a little mistaken when i thought it lagged both on and off but it is just off it lags. Thank you, i'm actually currently trying to figure out a diagram for wiring it all together and cant get that figured out. Is there a special way you have to wire the switch to do the lag turn off or is that part of the sd card on the board?

That is adjustable with settings on the SD card. See "offp" and "offd" for the A-POP (Anti Power Off Protection) settings in the manual.
