Shiny saber you got there, let me fix that.

You did a pretty good job, Here's my two cents.

I wouldn't say the Sentinal is inspired by Bastila's hilt. The emitters are too different, looks more original to me.
In addition to those hilts, the Prophecy is a good approximation of Anakin's AOTC hilt.
The Shock and Shock LE are Jedi Clan sabers. (Dark shock just being a color variation)
I've heard others call the Arbiter a Obi Wan approximation. I'm not sure I agree, but food for thought.
I always saw the Monarch as an original design.
Malice is Darth Malgus.

I think the War Glaive is inspired by Jaesa Wilsaam's staff in SWTOR.

I would say the Mantis is loosely based on Dooku's saber.

Also, I don't care what Wookieepedia says, I'm reasonably sure that the Savior is Revan's purple jedi saber, and the Butcher is his red Sith saber. Because that makes a lot more sense.

I'm sorry but not the case. Even the new Black Series Jedi Revan that gamestop announced has him holding a purple Butcher.

Mantis is an original design based on everyone's desire for a curved saber. The emitter claw combo on the Scorpion is more Dooku inspired than the Mantis.
In every illustration I have see on Revan's sabers the Savior was the shape of his red one and the Butcher matches his purple.
