hmm...good question. I haven't started the internals on mine yet but i want to say that if the Vader will need a resistor then so would the Luke right? I don't know. I'm following your lead man..

As far as mine goes, i had a bad connection in the switch so decided to rewire again. Figure if anyone is tearing these down i can add a little bit of advice. i just made the leads for the switch much longer and wow, what a difference. re-assembly was a breeze. The switch does indeed come out of the larger housing with just a gentle prying. I was able to wire everything back up and pull the switch through the hilt before pushing the chasis back in. worked great. Just make sure to cut a little notch so the wires don't get smashed between hilt and chasis. here's a pic...hope it helps.
Also,decided to go ahead and fabricate a make-shift blade plug for now. Like i stated earlier, i hope a metal blade holder is available at some point then i will upgrade the entire thing. Right now it just has three LED's from the original blade strip. Plenty bright enough for display. Found a cool case too...
