I like that idea then for a plain Ahsoka looking type pommel. That would suit any Jedi saber I think. We need her pommel added at this point though as well. I'd even buy one. But as for the Mantis, to me around the collar where the triangles are etched in it felt kind of sharp on the edges mostly there, not the main body though

When I was first shopping for sabers, I drew up one that I would have liked to see, and it had a perfectly round pommel. Ever since, I have always wanted a pommel like that. |

Bear in mind, though, that the Ahsoka pommels are sized for sabers with a shroud, they're wider at the point where they join the body than most of the pommels are. Like the difference between the "replacement" and MHS pommels for the Scorpion/Guardian/Mantis. |

I'd like to see a pommel that is sort of like the Guardian or Scorpion or Fulcrum/Lost Gray pommel, only completely without the spikes. So one that comes off the hilt a little, and is completely round. If that makes sense.
Exactly. Just a perfectly smooth, round pommel that comes off the saber.
Like this?  |

Monarch LE? Not really gold accents but like, silver and nickle combined in a way if it could be done. This would be sick Like the bulb upper grip and the 3 middle grips would be the nickle plating and the rest the regular silver finish |

After mulling it over, I think I have a new thing I'd like to see more of.
I'd like to see more sabers with Covertec wheels on the emitter side vs. the pommel side, for an "emitter-side-up" belt hang. The original Vader saber in the original trilogy did this via D-ring, but I think it's totally doable with a Covertec considering the greeblie-laden emitters we see on some saber designs. I know some designs allow some flexibility in Covertec wheel placement, but one designed with an emitter-side Covertec, as opposed to the Covertec being a bit of an afterthought, would be awesome.

There is one example. The Menace has its covertec just below the emitter.
