from what i remember, taking the blade out if pretty straight forward, i would post pics but i sold mine a good while ago.

Man I'm very curious does anyone know how to convert a Anakin AOTC FX lightsaber. I know the hilt is huge so you can probably put a nice 3watt luxeon in that one.

Check my photos of my Luxeon Anakin AOTC MR saber in the "Show Pictures of your Lightsaber" thread under "Misc".

Check out my photos as well of an Anakin EpII FX conversion

Wow that is awesome, It looks so much better with a Luxeon LED than a EL. Was it hard to convert?

Taking the AOTC saber apart was the easiest disassembly of any MR saber I've done.
Putting '05 Anakin guts in it was a little more challenging, you need to add about 3/4 of an inch of length to the internals if you use the entire Anakin inside including the ringed internal emitter. To fit the internal emitter through the external one (this gave a nicer look and also wedged the internals in tight to keep the battery connections) I had to dremel the opening of the external emitter a little bit.
Wiring to the existing switch is a little tight also. I think the wire I use is thicker than I really need so that didn't help. Had to use a different screw to catch the bottom of the switch since the hilt I started with was slightly damaged and the existing screw didn't catch well. I ended up liking it alot since it prevents me from accidentally hitting the switch.
Not sure if any of Tim's LED holders fit this hilt, but if one of them did it would make the LED conversion even easier since you wouldn't have to make a heatsink.
