Sorry if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but I didn't see it...
What are all the US sabers that resemble someone's lightsaber from the films or other sources?
So for example, the Guardian resembles Obi-Wan's first saber, the Graflex resembles Vader's saber, etc.
Another way to ask the question is which US sabers do NOT resemble a previously-designed saber?
In particular, I was wondering about the Catalyst... is that based on a previous design, or is it a new design?

Well there iz also the consular it looks like the qui-gon saber. The catalist is more of a hodg podge of mhs parts with the choke section for an erganomical grip the bane well that's based on lord bane the malase has a cannon counterpart. The standard issue and dark standard issue inate aeon dominix arnt really based on anything the shock kinda resembles the clan saber ( back ground jedi also used in attack of the clones in the areana seen) I can't think of any other comparasons I'm sure someone else will chime in or corect Me if I missed some thing

The Catalyst, as far as I know, is an original design.
The Consular is Qui-Gon Jinn's,
The Malice is Darth Malgus's,
The Archon is based on Luke Skywalker's episode VI / Obi-Wan's episode III.
I am probably forgetting some.

Graflex is Anakin's 3rd saber technically and Luke's 1st saber then handed down to Mara Jade after they meet.

The Archon is similar to Obi-Wan's Ep III/IV 'saber, and the one Luke makes for VI. The colouring isn't very close, but the parts are all similar, especially the emitter.
The Arbiter is somewhat similar too, I think.
The Shock is similar to the 'sabres used by background characters like Aayla Secura in the prequels.

For legal purposes every one of Ultrasaber's designs are original, however some have strong influences of already existing designs. My list here is simply my own interpretation, as I have no concrete confirmation from US, you know, besides the obvious designs and videos.
Consular = Qui Gon Jin
Guardian = Obi Wan Ep1/2
Prophecy = Anakin Ep 2/Vader Ep 4
Graflex = Anakin/Vader Ep 3/Luke Ep 4/5
Archon = Hero saber, losly based off Luke Ep 6/Obi Wan Ep 3/4
Arbiter = see Archon
Manticore = very losly based off Maul
Monarch = very very losly based off Sidious Ep 3 (may be more of a fan interpretation.)
Bellicose/Raven = Starkiller's sabers
Malice = Darth Malgus SWTOR
Bane = Darth Bane from the novels
Shock = Not too sure, Revan? Or Generic Jedi Movie saber.
Standard Issue = Imperial Knights from the Legacy Series graphic novels (I think so, any way)
Omen = Thunder Cats
Catalyst = Original
War Glaive = Original
Overlord = Original (?)
Reapers = Original
Scorpion = Original (with a slight hint of Dooku, IMO)
Liberator = Original (?)
Aeon/Dominix V2/3 = Original
Initiates V2/3 = Original
Did I miss any? Or anyone care to amend my list?

That list looks pretty solid, I can't think of any offhand that you missed. A lot of the simpler designs you mentioned (Dominix, SI, etc) are just basic in design, and the Shock is vaguely similar to some of the "clan hilts" from the prequels.

I just realized the US Shock really is a nice representation of Ki-Adi Mundi's lightsaber. I was thinking there is a list on the forum here that maybe this is on there or it could be added to it. I think it's a close fit.

Most of the cheaper hilts are original designs, with some influences from the general look and feel of lightsabers one would see in the background.
The Prophecy V3 is inspired by Anakin's AOTC saber, with some differences
The Bell is a pretty accurate make of one of Starkiller's lightsaber
The Shock is mostly inspired by the stock lightsabers used by Barriss Offee (TCW), Agen Kolar, and Shaak ti.
The Consular is a replica of Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsaber
The Archon sabers are modeled after Luke's ROTJ lightsaber, but greatly resemble Obi-Wan's ROTS and ANH lightsaber
The Arbiter is modeled after the forementioned Obi-Wan saber
The Monarch is inspired by Darth Sidious' lightsaber, but hardly resembles it.
The Manticore emitter looks to be inspired by Darth Maul's but only slightly
The Menace is a replica of Darth Maul's lightsaber
The Raven is modeled after the Sith Stalker lightsaber
The Guardian is a replica of Obi-Wan's TPM and AOTC lightsabers
The Lost Gray and Fulcrum are replicas of Ahsoka's lightsabers from The Clone Wars
The Malice is a replica of Darth Malgus' lightsaber
The Bane is a replica of one of Darth Bane's many lightsabers
Some say the Mantis is modeled after Darth Tyrannus' lightsaber, but other than its curve (which is different), there is no resemblance
The Electrum Wind is a replica of Mace Windu's lightsaber
The Emperor's Hand is a replica of Mara Jade's lightsaber
The Graflex is a replica of Anakin's ROTS lightsaber, which is passed to Luke in ANH and ESB, and then to Rey in TFA. There are design differences between eacg movie, and the Ultrasabers model most closely resembles the ROTS version
The Omen is a replica of the Sword of Omens from Thundercats.
The Chosen One is a replica of Darth Vader's lightsaber
The Flamberge and Renegade are inspired by Kylo Ren's lightsaber, but only in that they have crossguards, though the Flamberge pommel mildly resembles Kylo's.
All others are original designs

Why do people think the Monarch is Sidious's? It's much closer to Darth Nihilus's.
