In which I started this with just a bit of fun, I quickly started piecing together a really nice piece with the use of texturing and a nice unique shaped saber which I felt leaned more towards the dark users as it's mean and glows a reddish orange colour just left of the middle. The actually beams of the lightsaber I knew weren't to standard yet as they didn't reach the expectations of a full beam I really was striving to get.
After that I tried changing the colour with going into the attributes editor and changing the fluid colour to red because I thought of making the sabre quite dark, I added a subtle adjustment to the curvy bit of the sabre swell because I felt it looked quite strangle with all the circles coming out of it which just made it look less realistic. 
Finally I added some really intricate details with adding a Button for the hilt and the actual beam itself is more like a sabre from the use of area lighting which stares directly down at the fluid and high intensity lighting to make it look very bright and like a laser beam shooting out. I finally made the detailed part of the piece more texturised with some blin effect to make it different from the body of the sabre and most of all made a the laser beam go through the middle like a glass protection for the other powerful beam inside.
