CREDITS: I made it all myself, using Photoshop.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Extract YarSaber.pk3, YarSaberYG.pk3, and YarSaberGlow.pk3 into your <Jedi Academy>/GameData/Base folder.
DESCRIPTION:
YarSaber.pk3: Well, okay, it isn't THAT bad, but I felt that, given the number of people who think they're making lightsaber blades which "look more like in the movies" despite the fact that the blades in the movies are never consistent from one minute to the next, much less per movie, I may as well drop any pretenses to that effect. For those of you whose dislike of a particular saber blade stems solely from the fact that it thinks it's identical to every single saber in the movie, this one's for you. So, yeah, otherwise it's just the generic "replace the default blade with a white line".
YarSaberYG.pk3: Oh, and also, I replaced the yellow "glow" around the hilt when using Force Throw with a white one, because it looks a bit inconsistent when your blade isn't yellow.
YarSaberGlow.pk3: I kajiggered around with the "saber glows" for the sheer, unadulterated hell of it.
If you don't like the results of one of these effects, simply delete the relevant pk3 from your <Jedi Academy>/GameData/Base folder.
COMMENTS: I personally happen to like it better than the default one in the games. ;)
