A yellow blade typically signified a Jedi Sentinel. –Wiki
Sentinels were prevalent 1000 years before the battle of Yavin, when the Sith were a much more permeating and insidious influence throughout the galaxy. They were specialized in stealth and infiltration, rooting out evil where it lived. –Wizards of the Coast
This is a scratchbuild light saber using a combination of instructions from the website bigyellowbox.tripod.com. The hilt of the sword is made of, for the most part, common plumbing parts: Drain tubes, faucet knob, grommet, o-rings, part of a maglite rubber grip, knurled nuts, and PVC parts. The drain tubes were cut with a rotory tool, following instructions for a “Style II” Sabre.
The blade is PVC with a threaded male insert, matching a female connector riveted inside the hilt. It has been painted with plasti-dip.
Approximately 10 hours labor went into building this.
