As I labor over the hilt design of my next saber, I'm curious how others around here draw inspiration for their designs. For me, I've been cruising through the Gallery saving pictures of things I like. What I seem to end up with, though, are awkward hodgepodge designs that don't do the source material justice and very few elements that look original.

Aside from the movies, where do you guys get inspiration for your saber designs?
