Note: some of the below lightsaber designs use parts from the premium Rebel Hero set, which is only available to those who have ordered (or upgraded to) the Deluxe Edition of Jedi: Survivor. But these parts can easily be swapped out for any other part of your choice if you don’t wish to upgrade!
1. “Guardian” lightsaber design (Blue)

Not everyone wants an ornate, artistic hilt for their lightsaber. The traditional lightsaber designs in Star Wars media are all very functional and spartan, and our “Guardian” lightsaber design embodies this philosophy with its straight lines and simple metalwork. Nonetheless, it looks very dignified and strong: a reliable weapon for a powerful Jedi Guardian.

3. “High Council” lightsaber design (Purple)

Modelled after the iconic lightsaber of Jedi Master Mace Windu, this purple-bladed lightsaber stands out thanks to its golden highlights made from Haysian Smelt (best conductor), and the dark, somewhat intimidating grip. It’s a good hilt for a precise and unyielding blade, and a Jedi who might occasionally dip closer to the Dark Side of the Force than others while fighting. Is this a good fit for Cal? You can judge for yourself as you play.

6. “Warrior” lightsaber design (White)

One of the most elegant-looking and opulent lightsaber designs on this list, this gorgeous white-bladed lightsaber incorporates some carefully placed angles and spikes to give this otherwise lean weapon a more threatening countenance. The textured tan rubber grips serve to break up the silver alloy hilt, and give the whole blade a functional look despite its obvious grandeur.

Did you know: you can customise the angle of your lightsaber vents inCrossguard stance? Simply press “X” while picking your Vents component at a Workbench - but bear in mind that it has no gameplay benefit. The differences are purely cosmetic!
7. “Malice” lightsaber design (Red)

Yes, you can get a red lightsaber blade. To learn how, read our guide on the differentJedi: Survivor lightsaber colors!
I spent a long while building the very best red lightsaber design in Jedi: Survivor, and I think I’ve found it with this design, which I’ve dubbed “Malice”. This design makes good use of various Two-Tone Metal materials to inject some extra darkness and shadow into the details of the hilt. The grip is brass rather than a more comfortable material (pain is power, after all), and the glowing section between the switch and the long, spiked emitter just looks deliciously malevolent. A perfect Sith weapon.

8. “Wilderness” lightsaber design (Yellow)

We’ve saved the best for last with this gorgeous “Wilderness” lightsaber design - my personal favourite - made almost entirely from wood and bone. You could easily imagine this artfully decorated lightsaber in the hands of a Wookiee Jedi Master, or some other Jedi hailing from a forest- or jungle-dominated world. The rounded edges and slim appearance give the hilt a relatively friendly look (for a deadly weapon), while the copper rings make the whole design look more durable and powerful than it would if it were purely made from wood and bone.
