Maybe this is more suited to a PM but this is more a a general question than a question aimed directly at the USM authors, I was browsing around Big Yellow Box (a website with custom user-made real life lightsaber hilts) and came across This (

Also, This (

Anyhow, I thought I might just point that and and see what you all thought :)
