If you're going to make a lightsaber, at least ditch the laser crossguards. Ther reason they're a bad idea in practise is because there's nothing stopping them from cutting your wrist if you swing it the wrong way,  and  hardlight has been shown not to last very long in terms of resisting attacks. Someone is going to hit that crossguard and go straight through it and into his hand, because it's a weak point.
