    Man you’ve taken a lot of slack over that comment. Try not to let it get to you.. I appreciated it, even if some of the other folks who watch my stuff didn’t.

    Can you fit a pipe through there for rotoscoping reference?

    There’s definitely room inside to put some lightsaber guts. It’s almost entirely open on the inside for about 1" around and about 60-70 percent of the way down (right until you get to the shaft of the whole cover). You could also cut the shaft of the whole cover with a hack saw if you needed some more space.

    Definitely going to build this thing. Quick question though, is there room inside for some electronic lightsaber guts? I was thinking about gutting one of those Force FX lightsabers from Target that are like $30 and stuffing it into this custom hilt, then add some polycarbonate tubing to be the blade. Do you think this would work?
