I would have it made from optic fibre with cameras from the handle reflecting the image back into the saber, therefore creating an invisible effect, much like a mirror - you wouldn't be able to differentiate it from the background to defend yourself.

[donna michael]

I'd redesign it by having it fitted with triple blades, that way you have more width during the swing of the hilt. It would also have a string or leather loop fitted on the end that goes over the wrist and is secured by a toggle. That way if you lost the grip it wouldn't fall on the floor.

[Jay]

I'd rewrite the laws of physics and make the light bend round corners :D

I would add the option to fire balls of energy for long range combat, and on a more practical note offer a freeze button for emergency beer cooling purposes.

[Neilmol2009]

I would make it silent and invisible so people who think you were crazy waving around some imaginary object, then whack and it's all over for them.

[Alan S]

I would make it so you could open the handle for a multi media device so could could make intergalactic phone calls, access the Jedi Archives or just listen to music.

[david reed]

With flashing colours depending on my mood and what music is playing in the background.

[Karina Bowen]

I'd make it pink and glittery

[Stephen Hill]

Give it Twitter and Facebooks apps!

[Spanglisher]

I would add artificial intelligence so that I could look good with the saber doing all the work

[e scott]

Id add afew internal bombs so could throw afew and they wouldnt expect it, customise the hand grip so it wouldnt be dropped (fits snugg in your hand) add invisable mode so your enermy cant see it coming!

[Craig Brown]

I would add an ipod so i could kill and mame enemies to my favourite choons!

[Ritchie]

In the era of health and safety, I would fit a forcefield around it so nobody could get hurt

[M Evans]

I would redesign the lightsaber by making two new buttons one red to freeze time and blue to restart time,i would have so much fun!!!!!!! GOODLUCK ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[R Miles]

I would stick a bayonet on the end of it, good for close combat. "They don't like it up 'em" as Corporal Jones would say!

[Julie F]

I would design it with the light part, as a spiral coming out as you press the button, it would keep turning with bits of power coming out of it

[Hilda Hazel Wright]

If it was turned into more of a gun, it would cut out alot of time and effort, and then they could spend more time flying around in spaceships which is surely more fun. @WrightyH

[Lorraine Johnson]

Not being so technical minded, I decided I would redesign the look rather than the function of the lightsaber!
I would have it light up in the red, white & blue of the Union Jack, to support team GB in the Olympics & destroy the opposition - kappow!!

Following a Star Wars addicted family discussion we would propose the following
1) holographic projection of the owner Jedi to confuse the enemy
2) Shield setting- you kneel on one knee like a knight and hold the lightsabre vertically from the ground with both hands to operate - a dome like shield then protects the Jedi from anything other than a Sith Lord
3)Distress setting - when a Jedi is in distress it beams out a signal to all other Jedi
4)Invisibility switch to shield the weapon from sight and scanners
5)Wound healing capability - light/laser used to seal and heal flesh wounds.
6) EMP capability with set radius to destroy all robotised/droid equipment
We think that will do this time!

use low energy bulbs, to save the planet, death star, galaxy etc!

[Ant]

I would change it to have a stun option so i can use it to knock out people who are annoying me :)

[Sue Cole]

I would redesign the light saber so that it looked like a handbag that perfectly matched whatever outfit I was wearing. At the blink of an eye it would turn into a light saber. ( Not sure where all the contents of said handbag would go though ? On the floor I guess. Oops !)

[Louise Smith]

Voice and/or fingerprint recognition so it can only be used by the Jedi

[sherbie]

well clearly the colour scheme and design are all wrong. the handle should house several rotating glitter balls for starters, with a built in mp3 player and speaker. when you turn it on the default song would be disco inferno, so that as you sliced through the dark side, they would burn baby burn. the colour is all wrong too. should be pink, but would turn purple as the force grows stronger. also, when youve finished, a nice lil display of glitter would shoot out from the handle, like a firework. in no way would this be tacky atall. or remind anyone of anything other than a light saber.

[Paula]

I'd have spikes running down it and a hip flask full of whisky in the handle for a celebratory drink after fighting evil.
