Taking a break from my Greyflex build (decsions to be made) and decided to start working on something else in the meantime...
I was able to score a solid brass choke #2 and a control box 7 so I did a lot of brainstorming and decided I would do a blend of Kenobi and a Gladius:

This will be a fairly short overall hilt (<10") so it brings about a few challenges, especially since I want a crystal reveal...

I think if I do a small chamber (1") and have it where you unscrew the booster. That's a little far back in the hilt, but I'm not seeing a way to insert it further up unless I can do a sort of slide out reveal. That will require some tooling I may or may not be able to pull off without a shop. I invite any and all ideas on that.
I will likely use a NB3 to simplify the switching, and place the switch in the control box to keep it hidden. Ill use a 18500 battery due to size constraints. Blue blade most likely. It will be weathered when completed, but still have clean lines.
I'll post more as parts arrive and ideas solidify!
