Has anyone come across any reference info for a Legacy of the Force style Jacen Solo lightsaber hilt?

I haven't been able to find much detail on the saber, but here are a couple of pics in this article. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Caedus

If you are looking for a pic of his red-bladed Sith saber he built as Caedus the only picture I've seen is the cover of Revelation
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/st...ationcover.jpg
If you enlarge it and look closely the front half of it anyway appears to be very similar to a Vader saber.
The clamp box isn't offset like Vader ANH but more like the Vader ESB, however there arent any of the wires so the shaft is more like Vader ANH...the emitter end is interesting in that it looks like it has the MPP shroud but there is a bit of a graflex-like 'S-curve' to it rather than a straight angle as usual.
One could perhaps modify a MPP shroud to an S-curve to get the effect...alternatively one could use a s-curved front section sink tube or MHS extension with the s-curve bladeholder in black and with a Vader ROTJ style backwards slanting ring piece with appropriate black painting.
In that case you'd have a hybrid of Vader ANH, ESB and ROTJ features up to the rear grip and pommel area which AFAIK has never been depicted and thus open to 'artistic license'.
I notice the Anakin Solo saber which was given to Jacen had longitudinal grooves...so one might use the 3.5" grooved MHS section on the theory he might have kept that design element as an homage to his brother...that way it keeps a certain 'classic look' but doesnt have to have rubber t-grips which imo would be too unoriginal...but thats just my opinion.
The pommel is anyone's guess too but since he had a 'lugged' pommel on the green one why not keep one in the form of a MPS v2? Good for beating heads in which a Sith Lord might do from time to time just to emphasize his Sithiness to subordinates eh?
Just some suggestions
I found an action figure that has his sith lightsaber...

Interesting...I didnt know there was an action figure of him...is it out yet or is that a prototype?
edit: Oh I see now "concept" doh...that action figure saber still looks very 'hybrid Vader' to me...though perhaps with an elongated grip section [?]and the grips dont come right up to the clamp so more Vader ANH in that respect. Also it appears to perhaps have an Ani AOTC type Covertec wheel rather than a D ring. hmmmmm
