They already have them, but they are only put on stunt versions of the Graflex, Chosen One, and Malice hilts. These switches are longer than the normal ones and therefore need the extra depth given by the activation boxes, which are nothing more than aluminum blocks used to raise the switches.
I actually recently learned - and bought & they came today in the mail - you can buy taller bezels to accommodate longer switches. Haven't had the time to install yet, but just sizing it up, I think it will work on my Dominix V4. So - there are ways around just doing an Activation Box . . . When I find the time to get it done I'll post pics of it here so you can see how well it turned out - whether it's good, bad or ugly. |

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

Not sure what you mean by bezels. |

US already uses bezels with their AV switches as you'll notice the top round part doesn't sit flush on the hilt. Logos the bezel(metal ring) raises the AV switch slightly off of the body of the saber for clearance inside the hilt for connections/electronics.
Lord C is right you can buy taller ones that'll create more clearance to use longer switches.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before (I can't realistically go through 200+ pages).
Is there any plans to come out with a style like Luke's ROTJ hilt (as close as possible)?

The Archon is generally considered to be the US take on the ROTJ saber, though it's obviously fairly different. http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/stunt-archon.htmI don't know if there are any plans to attempt a more direct translation; you'd have to e-mail Emory and ask. Hope that helps answer your question. . . |

The neck on Luke's ROTJ saber is too thin in order for Ultrasaber's blade system to work well. The blades sit several inches within the hilt. At most you'd probably get only an inch into the emitter of a true to form replica, which US has determined (insofar as it seems) isn't enough to be secure for their intended purpose: dueling. |

They could however add some bronze anodizing couldn't they, to get the colors of the hilt closer?

You can use bronze Mylar tape. Some other members have used it to great effect in customizing their hilts. |
