Description: This is a HIGH detailed, mostly accurate rendition of the popular lightsaber design. I saw some other variations out there, and they were good. But I knew I could do better since I made a perfect, 1:1 scale digital replica (using lightwave 3D) of my Master Replicas Limited Edition RotS Obi Wan saber. So using that digital replica as a template, I proceded to model a version for Jedi Academy. And I can say that due to limitations , it isn't 100% accurate, but the differences are BARELY noticable. This is without a doubt (belive me, I looked around) The most detailed version of this saber ever released.

I have included 2 versions of this saber. One with traditional texture mapped "reflection" effect, which I personaly think looks much better. And one version that is reflection mapped for those who prefer that. I think they both look good, but I personaly like the consistant look of the original since the reflection map effect often looks odd and unnatural.

Edit: June 13, 2005
Additionaly I have added menu support for an upcoming Saber Pack release. Also Following this Obi Wan Saber release, will be a high resolution, Episode 3 Blades pack. All 3 releases have been ready for weeks, but I have been so involved in Star Wars Galaxies, that I forgot to release them.

Today I saw that Broken-Hope released his own saber blades pack. However I will still release mine. I have great respect for Broken-Hope's work and I hope the players will try both releases and leave it to personal preference.
----------------------------------

Special thanks to: Broken-Hope for creating the model that inspired me to get back into making JA saber models and go the extra steps needed to make this in such detail.
Also thanks to Raven for making this game, and a VERY SPECIAL Thanks to George Lucas for making Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith so much better than Epidodes 1, 2, and 6
