Really looks great and the wires add to the look.
But now I've to ask out of curiousness. Are there wires on the ANH Vader or only on the ESB saber.
There aren't really any reference pictures out of the films.
Thanks!
Looks like you got the answer to your question. I believe that only the ESB got the wires.
Another thing I think but am unsure of is that the ANH had chrome side bars on the clamp while the ESB had black ones. Anyone confirm this? It says this on The Parts of Star Wars.
-straight, one side rough from extrusion, other side machined, with aluminum color, I think this is the ANH version (I had this version but the aluminum was inside, they may have switched them and aluminum outside)
I have updated my blueprint drawing.
Some small changes based on Sym-Cha's and parfaitelumiere's input:

I really hope this is the final one!
The attachment isn't working for me. Anyone else having the same problem?
I updated the image link. It's working now.

I take it that some holes will need to be drilled into the Heiland to attach the bulb release. Will we also need to tap the holes so that the screws have something to hold on to? If so what size hole (drill bit) and tap will we need?
The screws are metric M2.5
A 2mm drill bit and M2.5 tap bit will work. The screws are stainless steel, you might manage to screw them in without tapping (not sure about it). I myself drilled 2.5mm holes and glued the part and screws directly to the Heiland (yes I'm guilty)
I have a Heiland which should be close enough. Once I removed all the screws from the external stuff (shroud, bulb-release etc) the guts slid right out.Hey, guys.
This is a little off-topic, but I figured with all the MPP enthusiasts focused on this thread, I could get an answer quickly:
Can someone please tell me how to remove the electronic guts of an MPP flash without damaging anything? Are the two shroud mounting screws on the handle what are holding the guts in or are the latch screws involved too? Surely, it's not glued in, right?
