Cyan seemed to fit Cal's personality the best. In addition, I really liked the complementary tones of white, light brown, and blue altogether. It feels very nature theme but keeps its contrasts. it also looks freaking awesome hanging from your belt.

Apparently my favourite design bugged out for me. However the missing pieces does add a look of battlefield damage! Or graphical bug but I'm going to go for Damage.

I've chosen the green blade for it's bright hue and that it stands out from standard blue, the stock emitter because of it's originality to the game, the Magus switch and Peace and Justice II sleeve for the mix of industrial and ornate design, and matte color because black looks great on a lightsaber and contrasts with the ornate sleeve.

I have the blue because I see myself more as a Guardian. The Magus emitter demands respect with it's two prong fins and detailed embossing. The switch Duty and Resolve II are for comfort with the leather straps, as well as the sleeve. The material of Durite is tough enough for mining and interrogation droids, plus that flat mat black is always appealing.

I used Cal's Master's lightsaber as the main emitter in remembrance of the total badass he was, and the Power and Control 1 and 2 sets for the rest.
I went with Indigo Crystal because I like Blue.
I had never heard of Arcetron, but I loved the way the metal looked.

With my Lightsaber I went for an elongated look with a more elemental look through the centre and the red and white colour scheme to truly show off the styles of the different pieces. Please right hand switch, this was not more first choice however, the game decided otherwise.

I set this up because while it looks rather standard, it looks cool.

I wanted the weapon not to outright look like a double-bladed lightsaber. For this reason, I decided one of the emitters to look more like a pommel than an emitter. For the aesthetics, I wanted a material with an metallic appearance that wasn't outright chromy, making durasteel the best choice.
