Since most of the links in my old post are broken, I decided it was high time to redo them completely.
Getting Started
So you want to get started right away on making your very own duel-able lightsaber. Slow down! Take some time to read. You will find a wealth of information out there. Even what I have posted here is just a small percentage to help get you started.
Some basic sites you will want to bookmark are:
The Custom Saber Shop
FX-Sabers
Blast-tech
Be sure to check out forums on sites that have them - there is a gold mine of information there.
There is a wonderful flash tool for playing around with lightsaber designs to find out what you like:

Here are galleries for the sake of inspiration. Check these out to find what others have built!

Character Specific Lightsaber Hilts
Be sure to check out all the links for the character's saber you're interested in. Sometimes there is a conflict of information between sites, and sometimes a detail missed in one description will be covered in another. An excellent resource to use no matter what movie replica you're looking at is Sitharchives
Many Replica Reference Photos can be found here
The Parts of Star Wars has many reference photos and descriptions of different sabers.
The Lightsaber Archives is also a good reference.
Luke/Anakin Skywalker
There are three different versions of this saber hilt, one from ANH, ESB, and ROTS. While very similar, there are some slight differences between these hilts.
Luke's hilt from ROTJ is completely different, and is much more similar to Obi-wan's, but I have included it here because it is on many of the same pages. Remember that there are two versions of Luke's ROTJ saber.
