Here's a few shots of the hilts I took:

There's something on these props that look hand made, especialy the one used by Carrie Ann Moss. It doesn't seem perfectly straight and symetrical.

does the bottom of those lightsaber stands slide out so you can increase/decrease the angle of the saber? Those would be cool stands for someone to make.

STAR WARS - The Acolyte lightsabers

Not seeing anything there about lightsabers becoming plain and boring. Because DEIsney says the problem isn’t the lightsabers, it’s you if you don’t like them.

And

STAR WARS - The Acolyte lightsabers

My favorite.. Also looks like they went with propicator’s stands

I like that for a change, everything has been so perfect and 3D printed and machined lately.

It’s definitely an interesting design evolution, when you look at the entire history of lightsabers.

The Acolyte hilts appear somewhat “beefy” and having some substantial “weight” to them.

100 years later, the tech appears to advanced and you get to the “skinny” lightsabers of the Prequel era.

By the time you get to the OT, the hilts appear to be somewhere between the skinny prequel look and the beefier High Republic look, almost like the resources available to create the skinny prequel hilts are not as easily available, during the latter half of the Clone Wars, leading a slightly beefier / retro hilt design.

But just prior you have some pretty elegant looking sabers. An Elegant Weapon: Get an Up-Close Look at a Lightsaber from Star Wars: The High Republic - Exclusive

Except lightsaber tech is already thousands of years old by now. This isn't a tech issue, it's a design choice.

The new Star Wars series, The Acolyte, will introduce  Pip: a chipper, handheld repair droid.

The production designer put Pip into a
US M-1956 M16A1 Ammunition pouch designed for the M16 20 round magazines. This magazine pouch was designed especially for the short 20 round M16A1 magazines.

The M-1956 Load-Carrying Equipment (LCE), also known as the Individual Load-Carrying Equipment (ILCE), was developed by the U.S. Army and first issued in the early 1960s.

Any ideas on the strap?

 

[Kylash]

I’ve seen a few saber makers say they’re gonna make some of these but slim them down. If you’re not gonna make them accurate why bother? I want them fatties.

 

[AnubisGuard]

I want them fatties.

A man of culture I see.

 

[NeoRutty]

Did Sol make his saber at galaxies edge?

That is a thick saber.

(Just now saw for first time watching the show)

 

[nickytea]

It would appear Torbin has a hilt quite similar to Jecki's:

 

[Halliwax]

Great shot!

 

[teecrooz]

I’m still confused by d-rings and covertecs.

I guess to hang it up when not on your belt.

 

[masterjedi322]

I do like the heat staining on Torbin’s…nice touch.

He's clearly a fan of 'I, Jedi'.

“So I tied a pipe to my belt, which was the style at the time…”

Spoiler: plot point episode 3

I did absolutely love the close-up of Master Sol offering his lightsaber to Osha. I wish there was more to the emitter design, but the paint job/finish is spectacular and I'm a sucker for emotionally moving close-ups of props

Prety much the same just different leather wrap. I know that not all padawans have this design. The Olega Padawan (Ed Kear) has this saber not seen on screen
