As a star wars fan I always wanted to make one of these. I made one lightsaber in Cinema 4D the moment I started learning 3D, and after half year of learning I switched to blender and remade it. I slightly fixed the original mesh, and I made a new scene, lights and materials.
The force is strong with you.
An excellent piece of evidence that lightsabers are (will be?) using plasma, not 'light' (lasers) for blades. :-)
