So in a fit of procrastination
(I'm only doing a physics degree, it's not like I need to work for it, right? RIGHT?) I was continuing my search for a decent MPP clamp replica. And lo, after a year or so of searching, I found one... (or at least, one that was UK-local and didn't cost me twice as much in shipping)

I don't know what it is, but adding a clamp makes a lightsaber look instantly more lightsaber-ey. Maybe it's because all four 'sabers in the Original Trilogy had them... *shrugs*
