For the record - This is a Dark Catalyst with Tri-Cree Adegan Silver, filtered to Sentinel Yellow using a double filter of Lee Yellow (765). The saber is equipped with an Obsidian Lite card, blue AV switch (black) and has a Scorpion pommel. 

Illyiss, I actually like the pommel a lot.  It adds just enough extra weight to counter-balance the blade perfectly when using 32" heavy-grade blades.  This picture was taken with a mid-grade blade btw. 

Honestly, it always annoyed me that LSG wrote Kimar's blade as yellow.   *sigh* 
If it's any consolation Karm, whenever I think/see/read about yellow blades I automatically associate them with you  Smiley

Red probably is more my color

Ok so, since all the Toys R Us stores will be closing soon, I’m going to share some of my pictures from my time there.  I worked there about two years, from seasonal cashier to a management position.  I tried my very best to make everything fun there for the customers, and to especially make the Force Friday’s memorable!












And of course this which feels tragically appropriate


Sam your dedication and just obvious love of SW and FUN is laudable  Smiley



...And it wouldn't be a Force Friday without a quality LR pic!

Yeah. Sad IMO the best SY is either filtered or full R+G on Emerald.

Agreed.  I tweak it a bit on my emerald driver, but even on Emerald there's a little bit of the red/green thing going on.  The filtered yellow is bright and lively and pure.  Love it.  :-)

Yeah, at the base where the LEDs are at the highest intensity, you're going to get hints of red and green, but they mix well along the blade.

Very true.

One interesting thing I noticed about that: If you hold the blade out in front of you and look at it from the side, you can see a green line on the top of the blade and a red line on the bottom of the blade.  If you flip the blade over, the colors stay where they are.   Its a side-effect of the red-shift / blue-shift phenomenon caused by the prismatic effect of the blade itself. 

Sorry.  Science fascinates me....

Very nice!   And yeah, it was just too good a joke to resist the reference, as though it found someone who was worthy. Wink

Inspire nothing. It's just and excuse to rock some kickass hardware. Grin

Yellow LED's can be inconsistent as the Red/Green mixture is hard to master, which is why it's not offered as a standard colour.  Filtered with an AS LED is generally superior ... there are some really good examples here -

I've found the yellow filters to be the cleanest, most vibrant and brightest there is - just awesome.

Had a little fun with some brief photoshop editing. Kind of a test of the waters if you will.



My character is the apprentice of Master Plo Koon so... yeah I love this one.

“You think you know the depths of corruption that plague the Jedi?” Saso hissed. “I’ve seen it, I’ve experienced it, I even embody it. Every breath I take is an affront to their lofty ideals and idle Force worship… and so they seek to exterminate me.” He looked deep into Barriss Offee’s eyes, “they were not successful in purging me from the galaxy, and neither will you be.”
