Good morning,

I am making the Knight of the Sith from The Star Wars, a comic adaptation of the original screenplay for the movie Star Wars.


I sculpted and cast the mempo by hand, and together with my partner designed our own version of his robes;

(I am sharing my costume progress to show I am serious about bringing this vision to fruition.)


The sabre hilt in the comic is based on the Jedi Clan Sabre used by Ewan McGregor in The Phantom Menance. For the comic, the Knight of the Sith’s has etchings. (I have created art work for this and am tackling the project of acid etching on to the hilt separately.)

For the hilt I have a nice empty. I am not sure of the maker, it can be found with the search terms Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi K1&2 Graflex Skywalker lightsaber prop hilt.
The hilt is nice, it accepts a 1" blade, but it is tight.

I want to make my own Neo Pixel blade and outfit the empty hilt. I want sound. I need the blade to be set to red when ignited from this hilt.

I do not know exactly where to start.
I think I can piece together what to order to make a Neo Pixel blade, but I would appreciate an experienced member’s check list.
For the hilt, I know the basics of what I need, but I realize there is a great deal of consideration going into that tiny space.
Any help will be appreciated. In return, I will document and share my progress.

Thank you for your tyme.
I will be checking for your thoughts
