I think I would redesign a lightsaber just for me it would look just like R2D2 like this Xbox 360 does. The halt to be the same style with the white and blue. The crystal itself would be gold to finally match C3PO but can easily be changed to other colours. As it is in the style of R2D2 it can also project hologram messages. It would have to have some sort of mechanism that will harm anyone that tried to weld the lightsaber that wasn't me. =)

I would create a hole at the bottom of the light saber that would comfortably fit and refrigerate a refreshing beer, a well deserved treat after being a bad ass jedi all day..

here's a rough sketch

I'd turn it into an app, and sell it on iTunes for £99. Then be a millionaire (and possibly get done for 2nd degree murder).

[Ash]

Changeable colour to avoid any awk colour clashes! Haha :)

[Debbie Aylward]

i would have a little unscrewable that has a mirror, but i could put my lip gloss inside. x

[Mat Hitchman]

It would have the function to turn into a snooker ball in a sock or a bicycle chain. The downtown areas of Mos Eisley are proper rough.

[PaulS]

I wouldn't change a thing, however I would rebrand it as the iSabre - because everyone knows that a product is better with an i at the front.

[Simon Court]

I always thought it would be cool to hide another blade emitter in the hilt so that with a twist you could go from Obi-Wan Kenobi to Darth Maul with two lightsaber blades. You could then use ot to throw off an opponent in battle. The option to change the length of the energy blade would also be cool ss you could then have a light dagger if you wanted.

I'd throw in a mirror - you've got to look your best before the fight.

At the base of the 'saber, i'd have a deodorant button to push - no way can you go into battle, SMELLING!

The re-design i'd have made by Stella McCartney, with a beatles-esque type logo, and when you switch it on, a new raved-remixed version of 'Hey Darth' specially composed by Paul, will come on. ;)

I would make the light sabre give off a protective shield energy everytime someone came close to hitting me. It would also have diff colour button so it would go with whatever colour outfit i was wearing.

[gavin]

These days more functionality is needed from every device. MP3 connectivity, bluetooth and WIFI dominate often forgotten features like a toothpick, corkscrew and bottle opener. All of course are useful and need to be included. Optional features could include a range of attachments eg beam extension, 90 degree beam angle, 180 degree beam angle, beam splitter. Additional fun features could include a torch (no sense turning on the whole beam), a mirror (to see behind you), voice box changer (like Darth Vader) or alarm clock.

[Courtney Evans]

A strobe and fly trap feature, for eh you know summer.

[GearsOfMush]

I would design the "X" sabre, a four way lightsabre that folds into a hoverboard.
Dealing swift Jedi justice to the whole galaxy.

[Steve Mathias]

Redesigning it would probably garner a fair amount of dislike from the Star Wars community.

HOWEVER...if I had to redesign it, I would firstly change the lit up area to a more on trend colour - let's go for Tangerine - big on the catwalks for SS12 and also Pantone's colour of the year!

Next up would be the shape. This season seems to be more about bigger proportions - lets go for an oversized handle (better grip, especially when using 2 hands in training!) and a sleeker, metallic embellished sabre with little skull detailing.

There we are, Lightsabre, A La Topman, SS12.

Oh - don't forget - you'll need a small digital camera and 'push to Instagram' button - a true neccessity for any modern man's gadget! (plus you get to show everyone that you totally lightsabred someone!)

[G$]

ability to shoot lasers and take pictures

[Scott Y.]

I would add a strobe feature to temporally blind foes during battle & of course help while partying, dance lights!
Also because I'm a sore looser I would add a self destruct feature if somehow I was killed.

[guido voorbij]

How would i redesign? nude with a hat on made of cornflakes and cola cans, while whistling the sound of music theme song (:

What i would change? probebly nothing it's allready a kick ass terminator killing, batman slicing, ironman chopping weapon.
perhaps an extra battery pack upgrade and a touch of glitter.

[Sam]

I wouldn't redesign the lightsaber as there is no need to. It is badass already

[Jake]

I would have the lightsaber gradually change through the colours of the rainbow. Being able to shoot saber bullets from it would also prove use to far away enemies! Following @Jake_1013

[Kathleen Lynch]

I would make it brighter and sparkler. I would add some musical show tunes too. Lights abets just aren't camp enough..

[ania]

I would it make it a little more compact to fit in a coat pocket

[Lucy Zelazowski]

This is the Light Sabre every Top Man can only dream of. Its would have magical powers, that could change what you are wearing, you would be in the latest fashionable fighting gear known to Mankind, without spending any money. Looking great, feeling great = being great! Even Luke Skywalker would need retraining to fight you! And of course it would change colour to suit whatever you are wearing. Most importantly it would be a special a button, that would protect you against any dirty spills & stains. You can eat baked bean and spaghetti sauce without having to worry about the laundry bill! Use the Force, Luke!

[Bernie T]

I would make it lighter and stronger, and have gps so I would never get lost between planets.

[Chrissie Curtis]

I would girl it up a little bit with fluffyness and pink bits. Shiney bits. Possibly a vibrate setting. LOL. It would have a built in music box and different light settings so it could be used for a mobile disco!

[CiminoDowden]

I would change the light sabre so it could also fire laser beams at the enemy
