Nice work. I really like your idea of including more organic designs for lightsabers. The movie versions are so uniformly chrome-flashlight-ish! It would make sense for at least some Jedi (or Sith lords) to wield something with a bit more individuality. And I could buy the Sith, in particular, trying to incorporate cybernetic tentacles or mandibles in theirs.
Anyway, yeah! Why not reflect the aesthetics or materials of the region of the galaxy where the artefact was made, rather than consistently going with the same bland industrial look? (A look which, by all appearances, had its origins on Coruscant when a plumber with too much time on his hands got hold of a bunch of spare speederbike handlebars...)
Particularly fascinated by the one on the far right. At first I thought I was looking at a rod of Asclepius, and that prompted some intrigued musings on the role of the healing arts in Jedi service. Either way, it truly fits old Ben's description of "a more elegant weapon for a more civilized age."

Wow, thanks David. I believe that may be one of the longest posts anyone has ever left in my gallery. Certainly the films need to make more of exotic alien tech and the fact the Jedi are supposed have been around for thousands of years. Surely some 'sabers would be like artifacts. Maybe the austere Jedi occassionally had flauboyant periods where they were more like Samurai? etc. Thanks again.
