SQUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW IT! I knew that Gade components would make a reasonable facsimile of Exar Kun's saber.  ALL THE POINTS!! Loving the look of that Exar Kun hilt--point for certain |

Can't take credit. Pulled it off Google. Although....looking at it, despite being traditionally accurate in design, it looks as though it would not be functionally sound. But that's a discussion for a different thread. |

forgive me, I had missed the adjustable couplers! That is now on my wish list.

I may be Sith, but that does not make one a murderer, nor a barbarian.
Seek the knowledge of the Dark Side, bend it to your will, utilize the strength of your passion, but not be enslaved to it.
to be enslaved is the way of the undisciplined apprentice, but you desire to be a master.
Remember the goal of the Sith creed: "The Force Shall Free Me"

forgive me, I had missed the adjustable couplers! That is now on my wish list.
The adjustables are do an excellent job of aligning hilts. However it does take a little doing to get them right. My method is to separate the halves and screw them in like pommels and then align the hilts. Then unscrew the hilt that has the bolt-thru hole of the coupler, while holding the coupler halves firmly in place. Then insert the coupler bolt and tighten (finger tight will suffice at this point). Then unscrew the other hilt. (I recommend gloves or some other protective grippy apparatus for the next step.) Then take the hex wrench (should be supplied) and tighten the coupler bolt as tight as you can. Finally reassemble the staff and prepare to look awesome.  NOTE: Dueling will send shock vibrations through the coupler bolt, loosening it. If you intend on using the coupler exclusively for a single pair of hilts for a single staff, I highly recommend the use of Loctite. |

Im sure its been mentioned before but COLORED AV SWITCHES! Would've loved the option to have had a Red AV switch on my Consular for a more Qui Gon-esque look. Still.. the Silver AV does look sweet on it

As have I. Just would not trust myself to take everything apart and rewire it back up properly. I've ruined many an xbox controller back in the day trying to make my own mod lmao. I guess electrical engineering isn't my thing  Would also love to see a feature in the crossguard sabers where the side emitters ignite after the main emitter, similar to how Kylo Ren's ignites in TFA. Would definitely tempt me into buying one.. |

So I was perusing AV switches from around the interwebs and came across these red ones. I threw it into my currently uninstalled Renegade leftovers (makes a nice staff), looks rad. US get on this. Offer the Consular and others with a red AV    Colored AV switches? Yeah, got this on Amazon (am I allowed to say that?). I wish US had them would look baller on those hilts. |

Good to know. And it's a good thing I have oodles of the stuff around the house. |

So after ogling Isola's new Omen I started thinking. How many would be in favor of an Omen V2? It would pretty much be an Omen but, with modified emitter that still accommodated the guard claws but lost the goofy window thingy.

That's why I got mine empty and built it with a custom MHS body and otherguy's soundboard. If the Diamond controller had had this option, I might have changed my mind, but I'm glad I went my own way. Well, with Calculon's guidance. |

I would probably go for that. The window thing is really what is keeping me from putting it on my list. |

Glad to know I wasn't the only one "ogling", lol.  However, to the point, I can get on board with an Omen V2. But I can also get on board with multiple blank color discs, ie: (trans white, blue, green) for the Omen to create even more customizations. |

You could do it yourself. The blade is held in from the bottom of the emitter, so you actually take a saw or a waterjet or whatever to the emitter and cut it off like I did with the Archon V2.1 emitter that I cut the flange off. |
