Yes, it was in reference to font styles in word processing programs (I think Word Perfect was the first to use them, but I could be wrong) before 3D modelling. I'm pretty sure it was the predecessor to True Type fonts.

I'm also pretty sure I've said this before, but I want them to bring back the Crimson Standard Issue and Crimson Liberator. But in a slightly darker red.

Oh, no, this was a feature of the spiffy whiz-bang word-processing programs prior to Word Perfect, and prior to IBM PCs; my Tandy TDP-100 had one (but I can’t remember the name of it now).

I think it's weird how the 32 and 36 inch blades are $10 more on the apprentice and initiate sabers but don't cost any extra on the standard versions especially considering the smaller versions are generally $10 cheaper than the standards anyway so there's really no reason to buy those versions when it's the same price to get the full sized ones with the same blades. In short I think the 32 and possibly 36 inch blades shouldn't cost any extra for the initiate and apprentice sabers.
(that extra $20 is the only thing keeping me from getting an initiate staff rn)

I think it has more to do with Ini length sabers are geared more toward younglings, so they are trying to recoup some losses of selling discounted longer blades for sabers.

I still want a new Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber, from episode III. I also want a dark version of the Guardian, it would go really nicely with the dark Graflex.

I say more love for the Brood Guards. I would love to see a V5 version or at the very least, an LE version for the silver hilt.

a 28" blade option would be great instead of having to buy 32s and cut them yourself. preferably not costing any extra on initiate and apprentice sabers. it's really weird how the blade sizes go by 4s but then have that gap

Actually, they do offer custom blade lengths, but they upcharge for the added labor.

To be frank, most of ultrasabers' catalog is not to my taste. The inspired hilts aren't screen accurate enough for me, except the empress which I HAD to buy when I saw it =p.
So, for me to buy more, those hilts would need to become more screen accurate. Which is not wanted by most it would seem. (And which would probably cause legal issues).
And most of their non inspired it don't do it for me. So, it will be a question of what they release next. =)

EDIT : Never say, Fountain, I will not drink of thy water. As a matter of fact, I do like the Menace SE for an eventual staff. And the butcher. And the Fallen... And I should have kept my mouth shut xD

US never claimed to make screen accurate replicas. They deal in COMBAT sabers, so the designs first and foremost have to be able to withstand blows. It has been my experience that they also try to do it for less than everybody else. So to keep costs down they sacrifice things like scale and visual accuracy. Other times I feel that this adds to certain hilts. Case in point: the Archon. It's loosely based on Luke's, but it is bigger, and has no uncomfortable activation box, no D-ring, and no spindly thin neck. All of these differences IMO improve this model. The Archon is one of my all-time favorites from US.

I do understand where it comes from. It was merely a statement as to what I look for in sabers for now.
I'm not a fan of Luke's green lightsaber or Obi-Wan's Ep 3/4 lightsaber.
It might add to certain hilts, though it will always remain a matter of taste and the number of hilts they have ensures everyone can find something they like... I know I did x) But it will also stop me from buying most of their stuff.
I need to stop looking at the list though. Cause I add one I like everytime.
