I agree. It is simple yet genius....and a really unique look. I like it.

the Sith character collects all these Sith artifacts like Vader's helmet and a few others. So his lightsaber would actually be some ancient Sith's explaining why it is all "crackling".
Is he doing it just to collect the stuff or is he on a quest to learn the ways of the "ancients" to become more powerful?
