When the Emperor's Hand saber came out, I wasn't really sure about it. I've never been a big fan of the emitter on the Mara Jade type sabers. But, it's MHS, and I did very much like the rest of it, so I ordered an empty, to see what I could make of it. I also had hopes (slim hopes) that the sleeve for the lower grip section and the ring sleeve towards the emitter might fit over a Graflex, because I thought that would be neat, and the ring near the emitter had grooves that matched the Graflex' sleeve that the activation box mounts on. Nope. The Graflex is too big to fit them over. But...TCSS does make a Graflex emitter, I realized... I also really wanted to play with photon blades, so my color was set. Powered by a TRI-GB MLS unit, this green is REALLY bright, and between that and playing on the origin of the EH saber, I present the Jade Nova.      It also has V4 sound, which blasts through the speaker to really bring this mega-bright mashup of a saber to life. I would have loved to have simply crashed an Ultrasabers Graflex into an Emperor's Hand, for the visual tie of the two sleeve rings matching, but in the absence of any way to do so, I did what I could do. Credit to Ultrasabers for a beautiful hilt to work with, and all of the electronic bits which are so easy to work with in building your own saber. |

This looks great! Did you have to do any alignment adjusting to get the switch where you want it or it just lined up?

I had to do a very very little bit of sanding of the hilt, just to adjust it by a few degrees. |

Looks great!
Not a combo I would have ever imagined, but it really works!

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

That's awesome! I really like that emitter with the Emperor's Hand body. It's a unique combo that really works on so many levels. Great work.  |

That emiiter works fantastic on there! What a great idea. Gives a nice sleeker look to the saber.

Love the photon blades and what you've just done there combined with them is an A-1 classy mod. Love how that looks. It's kind of freaky really how well two sabers, one canon and one non-canon, marry together so well like that. Great idea!

That's one stunningly beautiful saber! I was in the same boat as you. I couldn't decide on whether or not I liked the emitter on the EH, but I very much liked the rest of the hilt and was primarily interested in the MHS possibilities... and the pommel... especially the pommel. Point! |

Awesome! That's a wicked saber, great work! I love how detailed both the main sections are, it makes for an amazing hilt- so much to love. And the photon blade just sets it off too. Very cool . |
