its over everyone. The Starkiller died.
I was rehearsing some choreography with my buddy earlier this week and i used the starkiller instead of my SI.
The saber snapped in 2 at the center of the hilt after he struck me with a jump swing.
here is the damage done

I tried to salvage what i could: speaker, battery pack, soundcard (partially), and some random bits and stuff.
The led was destroyed together with the swing sensor and the entire hilt.
I've never felt so struck down by anything this saber was the pinnacle of what i could do at the moment.
Car needs repairs so i can't really afford anything now so it will take time before i can even attempt to build something new.
Sometimes life just sucks.
anyway thanks for the comments everyone it meant a lot to me.
