I guess it would help you guys if I gave you a list of the sabers I'm concidering for my characters.  Since there are so many characters, I'm going to split this up into a few posts.
We'll start with the villains.  I plan to get every saber with emerald, so I have more control over the color and brightness.
Some of the sabers I'm going to customize and some I'm going to beg US to customize for me.
I've listed the colors with percentage values for Red, Green, Blue, and Amber.
Emperor:
•1 - Malice - Blazing Red (100 0 0 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
Lord #1:
•1 - Raven - Blazing Red (100 0 0 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
Lord #2:
•Double bladed - Possibly-Modified Prophecy V3 - Blazing Red (100 0 0 0) - Blade length = 24 inches.
Black anadized grip on the lower section, and a black anadized emitter.
Lord #3:
•2 - Dark Mantis with standard emitters and Dark War Glaive pommels - Blazing red (100 0 0 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
Warrior #1:
•1 - Bane - blood Orange (50 0 0 100) - Blade length = 36 inches.
Warrior #2:
•2 - Dark War Glaives - Orange (20 0 0 100) later Red (100 0 0 10) - Blade length = 32 inches.
Expendable Warriors:
•1 - Liberator v3 - Orange (10 0 0 100) - Blade length = 32 inches.
•2 - Modified Standard issue - Yellow (0 100 0 100) - Blade length = 32 inches.
These sabers should have Chosen One style grips mounted to their lower halfs.
•1 - Dark Liberator - Orange (30 0 0 100) - Blade length = 32 inches.
•Double Blade - Dark Standard issue with grooves - Yellow (0 100 0 90) - Blade length = 24 inches.
•1 - Modified Dark Prophecy V3 - Blood Orange (100 0 0 100) - Blade length = 32 inches.
This saber should have all of its thicker portions in silver.
•Double Bladed - Standard issue - Yellow (0 80 0 100) - Blade length = 24 inches.
•2 - Modified Dark Standard issue - Orange (90 0 0 100) - Blade length = 32 inches.
These sabers should have Grafflex style grips mounted to their lower halfs.
•1 - Modified Dark Prophecy V3 - Yellow (0 100 0 100) - Blade length = 32 inches.
This saber should have all of its thicker portions in silver.
•1 - Liberator v3 - blood Orange (100 0 0 100) - Blade length = 32 inches.
•Double Bladed - Dark Standard issue - Yellow (0 80 0 100) - Blade length = 24 inches.
•2 - Self-Modified Standard issue - Orange (50 0 0 100) - Blade length = 32 inches.
These sabers will have wraps applied to them.
•1 - Dark Liberator - Orange (30 0 0 100) - Blade length = 32 inches.

The following sabers are for my heroes, which will remain nameless for now.
There is a big reason why some of the suggested sabers can't be used for the villains, and that is below.
Knights Leader:
•1 - Overlord - Arctic Blue (0 50 100 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
Knight #1: (NOTE: This character carries six sabers, a laser pistol, and laser rifle. He owns six other sabers he "Took off a dead guy." or so he says.)
•2 - Aeon LE V4 and LE V3 with modified Guardian pommels - Green (0 100 20 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
The pommel should be silver with gold anadized spikes.
•2 - Dominix LE V4 and LE V3 with Scorpion pommels - Green (0 100 20 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
•Double Blade - Initiate  LE V4 and LE V3 - Green (0 100 20 0) - Blade length = 24 inches.
•Double blade - Dark Iniciate  LE V4 and LE V3 - Green (0 100 20 0) - Blade length = 24 inches.
Knight #2: (NOTE: This character carries three sabers, a pistol, and a rifle.  He starts out with the dark sabers and transitions to the light ones later on.)
•2 - Sentinal V4 LE (Staff) with Shock LE pommels - blue (0 20 100 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
•2 - Dark Sentinal V4 LE (Staff) with Dark Shock pommels - blue (0 20 100 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
•Double Blade - Apprentice V4 LE Staff - blue (0 20 100 0) - Blade length = 24 inches.
•Double Blade - Dark Apprentice V4 LE Staff - blue (0 20 100 0) - Blade length = 24 inches.
Knight #3:
•1 - Reaper with modified pommel - bLUE (0 0 100 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
The pommel should have a flashlight inside it..
Knight #4:
•2 - Dark Arbiter with Consular emitters, and Scorpeon pommels - Dark Violet Amethyst (25 0 100 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
Knight #5:
•2 - Manticore  with high pommels - Violet Amethyst (50 0 100 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
Knight #6:
•2 - Dark Menace with Dark Mantis Clawed Emitters, and Bellicose pommels - Green (0 100 0 10) later Cyan (0 100 100 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
Knight #7:
•1 - Modified Monarch - green (0 100 10 10) - Blade length = 32 inches.
This saber should look like the Dark Monarch, but with gold anadizing replacing the black anadizing.
Knight #8:
•1 - Dark Monarch - Blue (0 10 100 10) - Blade length = 32 inches.
In the story there are two groups of what I call Rangers, that are like the hero version of the Imperial Soldiers.  These characters say almost nothing and wear helmets covering their faces at all times.
Ranger #A-1:
•Double Bladed - Bellicose - blue (0 10 100 0) - Blade length = 24 inches.
Ranger #A-2:
•2 - Possibly Modified Shock LE with Archon emitters, and Archon pommels - Arctic blue (0 40 100 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
With black anadized grooves, instead of gold.
Ranger #A-3:
•1 - Shock LE - Cyan (0 100 80 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
Ranger #A-4:
•Double bladed - Dark Shock with Dark Menace windowed emitters - Blue (0 20 100 0) - Blade length = 24 inches.
Ranger #B-1:
•2 - Scorpions - Blue (0 0 100 10 - Blade length = 32 inches.
Ranger #B-2:
•Double bladed - Modified Guardian - Green (0 100 20 0) - Blade length = 24 inches.
With a black anadized shroud.
Ranger #B-3:
•2 - Modified Consulars with Dark Shock emitters and Modified Archon pommels - blue (0 10 100 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
With a black anadized shroud, and silver grooves.  The pommels should be black with silver accents.
Ranger #B-4:
•2 - Archon V2.1s with War Glaive emitters, and modified Guardian pommels - Light blue (0 40 100 0) - Blade length = 32 inches.
The pommel should be silver with black spikes.

The following sabers are seen in the background, and possibly used in flashbacks.
The first ones are created by the character who carries six sabers, after he fights another character with similar sabers.
Knight #1's creations:
•2 - Crimson Mantis with Clawed emitters - blue and green (0 0 100 10) and (0 100 0 10) - Blade length = 32 inches.

Sabers on display in the background:  (NOTE: These are the sabers that are close to the SW movies, and thus why they are relegated to the background.)
•1 - Guardian - Guardian Blue (0 0 100 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
•1 - Modified Consular - Consular Green (0 100 10 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
With a milled hole pattern in the shroud.
•dOUBLE bLADED - Menace - Blazing Red (100 0 0 10) - Blade length = 24 inches.
•1 - Modified Chosen One - Guardian Blue (0 0 100 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
The activation box lined up with the front of the emitter, and the emitter left silver with rounded edges like the Prophecy.
•1 - Graflex - Guardian Blue (0 20 100 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
•1 - Modified Chosen One - Blazing Red (100 0 0 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
The activation box lined up with the front of the emitter.
•1 - Modified Archon V2.1 - Guardian Blue (0 10 100 0)  - Blade length = 36 inches.
With a black anadized granade grip on the upper section, a gold anadized groove on the lower section, gold anadized neck, and a silver activation box on the mid section.
•1 - Modified Archon V2.1 - Consular Green (0 100 0 0) - Blade length = 36 inches.
With a black anadized groove on the lower section, and a silver activation box on the mid section.
These are all of the sabers I have selected for my films.
I'm just waiting for US to release another design, and then I might rearrange my list again.

I'll keep that in mind, but I don't think I'm going to sell any of the props.  I'm probably going to display them in my house.

I've been going over the descriptions of the sabers on this thread, and came up with a list of sabers I'd like to get a mental picture of.
1. Grafflex.
2. Chosen One.
3. Guardian, but this one I have a pretty good idea of what it looks like, based on the Hasbro version from the Attack of the clones.
4. Omen, because I'm concidering removing the pommel and emitter and replacing them with something that isn't immediately recognized.
5. Archon V2.1, if I'm right these can be modified to look like Luke's and Obi-Wan's, but it might take me begging US for the assistance, which I do know they have modified these before.
6. Flamberge, which if I like it will sit in the background some where, say like a tempal.
7. Renegade, same as the Flamberge.
Thanks again to all of you that have provided incredible descriptions for this Blind Jedi.

The Archon v3.1 looks more like Luke or Obi-wan's saber due to the thin neck.

The graflex looks like anakin's saber from Revenge Of The Sith but the control box is different because it is literally an activation box being that it has a switch in the box. It has six plastic t-tracks on the bottom, there is a grooved section where the activation box is. So basically Anakin's Revenge of the Sith lightasber.

The chosen one looks exactly like Darth Vader's light-saber from Episode 4: A New Hope. The only difference is that it has more windows near the emitter and no D-ring up on the emitter shroud and a covertec wheel.

The flamberge looks like a mid evil sword but it has i lit-up cross-guard but i cant describe it that well so I'll see if Darth Justicar can but i wouldn't recommend it because the emerald driver only changes the main blade not the side blades. Same thing with the Renegade I'll find somebody who owns one and make them give you a description of it.

In terms of recognizability, the Graflex and Chosen One have the same problem as the Omen--they're instantly recognizable to a sizable percentage of your potential audience.  Personally, if I saw a Graflex in a movie, I would be unable to think of it as anything other than Anakin's or Luke's saber and it would potentially be very immersion-breaking.

The Flamberge and Renegade look a lot like Kylo Ren's saber, but they're not exact replicas; if you stay away from red for the blades they would probably be ok.  They certainly look similar, and I imagine that a lot of people would make the connection, but I don't think it would be as distracting as a Graflex or Chosen One.

I'll get you descriptions of the Flamberge and Renegade when I have time and brainpower for it, unless somebody beats me to it.

The Flamberge that I own is the standard version; it is pure black.  Unlike Kylo Ren's saber, the plasma vents to the sides of the main blade emitter do not taper, meaning that the hilt forms a T-shape.

Other versions of the Flamberge include one that is nearly black with silver detailing, one that is silver only, and the v2, which is black with extensive silver detailing and ridges down the grip.  It is the least Kylo-looking of the Flamberges.  The silver Flamberge may appear like Ezra Bridger's new crossguard saber from the Rebels trailer.

The overall hilt length is 14 inches with a grip diameter of 1.5 inches.  The crossguard portion of the hilt is 5 inches across before the blades are added.  Blade depth is about .75 inches for the crossguard blades and 3-4 inches (closer to 4) on the main blade.

Actually, I will be shooting a video in the next couple of days where I intend to talk through some things including the dimensions, appearance, and functionality, so while it may not give all the information you're after, I am going to try to deliver as good a narrative as possible in case you'd rather listen to a live human voice instead of a computer.

Another person you may want to talk to about the Flamberge is Layana, as I believe she has an Emerald v2.  Mine isn't Emerald.
