Actually Darthy, I would suggest cross referencing your terminology before spouting off. Or maybe even taking the time to visit, a library, museum, or get books on weaponry in history. The nomenclature you are trying to amend is actually the correct terminology. The guard is not solely the hilt, it is one PART of the hilt, as is the grip and pommel. The swept hilt rapier is not referring to only the sweeping of the guard, though that's the main eye catcher, but more the entirety of the design of the hilt as a whole giving it the swept look. You will also note that in all accurate replicas or historical pieces, the "swept hilt" ranges from the pommel to the guard asthetically completing the entirety of the hilt.

Anyone who has fought in any re-inactment or studied the art of the sword can verify that the common nomenclature for the guard, grip, pommel section of the sword is the hilt. Ergo, the saber "handle" as you call it, is actually a hilt. Being that they probably want to make more than just the grip.

In the lightsaber terms, the hilt would be the emitter, the grip, and the pommel which has the energy pack in it (I believe, someone may have to check me on that, been a while since I studied the anatomy of the saber.).

I have cross references for you if you would like. You could also google sword hilt.

I'm afraid I have to catch them out on this one. I don't understand, they suck, I'm only trying to help.

Just wait a bit, its an insurance so that people can't sign up to spam the forums. Everyone has it to start out with I believe.

Darth Starkiller,

You could aslo check some of the gamer magazines with KOTOR info in them. Sometimes they have character profiles, sketches, and even weaponry sketches. They had to model it from somewhere.

If you REALLY want to be daring, you could always e-mail the design division of lucasarts and see if they will send you pics, just tell them you are a fan and wanting to build the saber for your own personal use. Lucas gets kinda paranoid about copyright and selling, so you might want to add in that you have no plans to sell it, you know keep it PC.

Jaymach,

No worries, I got the same thing, soon we will be important enough to post links. It's kind of like a right of passage.

That's twice now Darthy's been corrected on jumping the gun without proper reference. Humorous.
