Why improve on perfection?

If you had to improve, you could use the force to control the blade and allow it to become a rope, so the sabre becomes whip like. Allowing you to grab objects or swing over ravines away from cannibals, or boulders plus it would look great when used while wearing a fedora.......oh wait

[Rachel Edney]

Dip the handle in glue and then in sparkly glitter.

[Karis]

I would give it the ability to perform delicate laser eye surgery.

Twitter: @lovetocomp

[Michael Tarbatt]

I'd simply remove the buzzing noise and make it silent. I could use it as ambient lighting or in case of a power cut then. It'd also be ideal for assassinations.

[Bev Davis]

I'd make it automatic so it fights my battles for me and is always one step ahead of the enemy.

[David Carr]

Small screen and ability to run iOS so that I can surf the web and run apps during jedi 'downtime'

[A Facebook User]

I would put an MP3 player and speakers in there and also have a lighsaber disco mode that changes the colour of the laser part. Also for those times when killing Imperial scum is few and far between, a twitter app so you can keep up with what is going on.

[Robin Brooksbank]

I would make a trident version of it.

[Diane]

They already make a mint swishing around noise but for an added ego boost each time a strike connects it'd be cool if it said 'One potatoooo', 'Two potatooo" and so on.

[Rob Brighton]

No need to change the lightsaber, it's an established product, the brand leader. You need to diversify the range. Light nunchucks, light arrows, light chain whip thing, light knife, that sort of thing. Jedi Inc

I would have a double ended lightsaber like darth maul, But it would be curved lightsaber rather than straight. imagine darth maul or darth vader with a double ended curved/rounded lightsaber. that would be cool.

[Cheryll H]

As a woman I feel a few small modderations might be in order. A selection of fragrances would be fab, with the ability to change scent as required (eg. Lavendar for when the sabre's in use re-heating the bathwater, tea-tree for when in combat). It could also double as a clutch with a mirror on the inside for those post-combat 'winner' photo's.

i would:
make the colours changeable & have a counter to show how many people you've killed (on the handle). it could transform into a phone so you could call up and order pizzas. you would also be able to change the shape,brightness and damage of the laser, so you could enjoy the ambience if there's a power cut. finaly, the hilt would be made out of licorish ( i dont know how to spell that ). ALSO... wehn you switch of the laser beam, it could transform into a chainsaw.

[James leonardi]

I would have a safety feature, so that the sabre beam doesn't cut off my mate daves arm, when we are pretending we are jedis.

[Saif Ahmed]

Oh I'd change the entire structure and make them into arm guards and gloves using the material that the hilt is made from, and change the composition of the beam to be projectable by combining punches and the use of the force. I'd also add a mechanism in which you can control the level of power you want the saber to exude by basing it on your muscle control. Crank it up for a powerful blow, but you need to train to handle it.

Skilled users can use their palms, and with sufficient skill you can have each finger form a beam, couple this with projectile skill and you have a perfect discrete assassin.

[Pricenator]

Well I'd add in a smart phone and mp3 player, obviously with full wifi and bluetooth connectivety in there! So your self respecting Jedi can keep up with their calls and make sure they're up to speed (light speed) of course with all their social networking!

[Kirsty Hutt]

My lightsaber would be a multi weapon so there would be different buttons on the lightsaber to turn it into gun or even into a gaffii stick. Although if someone using the lightsaber had "The Force" They could easily connect with the lightsaber and turn it into whatever weapon they wanted without pressing a button.

[Michelle Bamber]

I would integrate a tv remote into it .... much more useful than freezing a laser beam

[Colin Pike]

Make it in HD

Redesign The Coca Cola Botle

[bev_metallica on Twitter]

For 21st century Britain,
I'd invent a whole new crop,
First, one in Burberry,
With a bit of bling on top,

They wouldn't be fully functional,
So there'd be no blood shed,
When the chavs go happy slapping,
Each other on the head,

One with a built in spray can,
For those who can't resist,
Graffiti'ing everywhere they go,
Would be number two on the list,

A built in phone loudspeaker,
Would probably be the third,
Just so those at the back of the bus,
Don't miss a single word,

For Sith lookalikes in their hoodies,
One with room for a can or two,
Look supercool on the street corner,
Knocking back their Special brew,

Last of all, one for me,
Sized to fit me like a glove,
Tuned to put Skywalker's to shame,
So I could wipe out all those above!

[Barrie Phillips]

I would have a built in i phone with an app to take photo's of the action in real time and upload them to the net and a sat nav just to make sure your in the right place at the right time.@phillipsbarrie.

[Alison]

It needs to be able to fire lazers at an enemy in the distance as well as close combat, would make it invincible

[tarek]

I would make it more hot

[A Facebook User]

I would make it so it can transform into a umbrella and a curling wand :)
