actually the saber staffs and the particular saber used by the Reborn(standard reborn saber) have shorter blades than the standard lightsaber(bladelength 32 instead of 40 I think).
I could probably add the saber_end again to create the arc while swinging. I will have to mess with the pics a bit though, because you're version didn't quite line up correctly.
I'll mess with it some more and see what comes out :D.

However, the extra blade outer glow that you added looks grainy and seems very static. Turning dynamic glow on does seem to help a bit. Anyway, if that could be fixed, the material would be perfect for submission.
Wouldn't this be overwritten anyway if you incorperated the RGB coloring?
[EDIT]
Added the saber_end for the saber trail arc. You guys were right, it does look better.
