The issue with the Black & Gold (which would indeed be awesome and have wanted one for a long time) is that it's extremely difficult to anodize 2 different colors.
If you look at the 2-tone hilts, they have typically been anodized a single color than various surfaces of the hilt are machined back to aluminum (Silver) and polished.
They would have to do something like a Mantis where the interior parts are Gold and the outer shroud pieces are Black (as an example) but the single piece sabers wouldn't work (v3s & v4s, etc.).
It might be possible to do a 2-color anodize - but I am guessing the process and Touch Labor involved would GREATLY increase the cost per hilt and US needs to keep those V-Series hilts in the affordable range.
Hope that makes sense to you!

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

Yes, it does. I was just saying that it would look cool. I had actually thought about anodizing twice, and how it probably wouldn't work, but I just didn't know for sure that it wouldn't, so I threw it out there anyways. |

Maybe this has been mentioned too, but I really would like US to make a crystal chamber saber. So bad! I really have no idea why they haven't made one yet.

Yeah, I have always wanted a saber where I could see the crystal, but it would probably interfere with the wiring. Would look awesome though. |

Oh, it can be done without real problem. numerous people here already have, from the simplistic, to the down right insanely complex. Don't see why US couldnt do one easily enough.

I meant as a non-Emerald one. Just as a normal option.  |

One thing I would like to see from UltraSabers is a total overhaul of the Archon V2.1 and V3.1.
Call the new ones the Archon V2.2A, V2.2B, V3.2A, and V3.2B.
The A-versions would be similar to their previous versions, but with different body color options.
The B-versions would have a grenade style upper grip, and a new all black Archon style pommel, and emitter option.
Both versions would get color options for their upper and lower bodies, the top could be completely black or have silver detailing. The bottom could have Red, Blue, Gold, or Silver color options.
The pommels and emitters could reflect the lower or upper body colors. The kneck could have the same color options as the body, and possible vertical grooving.

So both the Windu's and Padawan Tano's hints are now covered. What next on the wish list?
Rebels era Tano's hilts? (I'm trying to image how they'd make them since they are not cylinders and are slightly curved)
