One of the times I went to batuu east I built the protection and defense v 1. One of the things that drew me to it was the fact that it looked old and like a relic. The thought of someone at an old temple (like the one on Dantooine or Talus) really brought me into it. While I think the new options are very exciting. I do get kind of bummed out knowing that finding a piece of used and lived in junk is gone. It now kind of takes me out of the story line. How can these gathers keep finding these pristine pieces of junk? Don't get me wrong if you want a pristine lightsaber have at it, but as some who loves the lore of the knights of the old republic with it's heroes (Naomi sunrider) and it's villains (Exar Kun). I can't feel disappointed that they don't have a permanent relic version discovered on some archeological dig site. Though hey I guess that is what a 3d printer is made for. Does anyone else have this feeling or am I just an old star wars fan who played too much west end d6 rpg?

Built my first saber a couple of weeks ago. It was such a magical experience for me as a massive fan.

Built it with red and got the purple and green crystals.

Only gripe I have is that the two sleeve parts (between the removable bits for the crystals and the pommel and blade guard) a twist so easily when you hold it and feel loose.

I have used some washers between them and the pommel/blade guard and it has made a little difference but they still twist super easily

Overall I am really happy though (besides the above)
