The Construction of the Lightsaber

As advanced it may seems for the lightsabers, they were never mass produced. The complex function of this lethal weapon may excuse one for easily thinking that only a pre-programmed precision machine can assemble it. The light saber's construction requires not only technology but also a close attunenement to the force. A ritual unique to the jedi that has become an integral part of the jedi training.

The selection of crystal

Ilum, an ice planet home to the Adegan crystals was used by the jedis for their Padewans to choose the crystals that makes up one of the core components of the lightsaber. Here, the Padewans will be rquired to choose the finest focusing crystals they can find through the meditation and communion with the force. Afterwhich, they would then complete the assembly of the lightsaber.

The process

Typically it will take around one month to complete the whole assembly. The process is a tedious one that involves the use of both the hands and the Force together with meditation to diffuse the crystal. It will take weeks for the jedi to put together the lightsaber as according to each of their own specifications. These specifications may included:

1. The blade's length
2. Color
3. Blade frequency

The Hilt

The hilt is where the heart of the lightsaber is. With its material being made out of an alloy cylinder, the shapes and dimensions are being determined by the jedi's preference.

In the Hilt, an energy beam that are to extend outward from the base source to a length of about a meter will arced circumferentially back to a negatively charged fissure ringing the emitter. It will be created out of the release of high-powered energy. This is made possible through a series of positively charged focusing lenses and energizers. A superconductor will then complete this loop by feeding the transformed energy back into the internal power cell. By adding up to three focusing crystals of varying attributes and by using the control mechanisms built into the hilt's shaft, the power output and the length of the blade could be adjusted.

The Hilt will bare some of these basic components:

• A handgrip
• An activation stud plate
• A safety switch
• An emitter matrix
• A lens assembly
• A power cell (for the most part, unlimited in power; requires little recharging)
• A power conduit
• A recharge socket (recharges the power cell when the lightsaber is off)
• One to three focusing crystals

These components will be bind by the force in the molecular level. The manipulation at such level has enable the close loop design to operate in a near-perfect efficiency. The padewans would assemble a lightsaber in the likeness of their master's as a show of respect. But despite this practice, no two lightsabers are alike.
