Thank you dark, but I already know of these pages. Do you know of any more? Thank you for replying though

I believe dark42 pretty much covered it. Companies like Larbel Plasma Blade did at one point but I don't think they have the EL blades anymore. I could be mistaken...
At any rate, judging from what I have researched on those examples (Parks, Master Replicas, and Lightech) they are THE sites for the EL lightsabers. I'm come across others, but NOTHING like those three. From what people who own them say, they swear by them. Parks is very popular, and Jeff certainly does great work. I would look no further than the ones dark42 mentioned...

Thank you, Kai! I think Lightech is my favorite website but because I don't have any money, I can't afford one right now. Also, I really don't have a real use for it except playing with it at home. I live in a small town so I can't go to any conventions or anything. Oh, well, thank you again.

My town is pretty darn small too. I'd love to got to a convention, but never have. I should have gone to Celebration II in Indianapolis...I'm in Ky, so it wouldn't be terribly far...
I don't personally have an EL...don't know if I ever will...I make sabers all the time, but stick to fight props with dowell rod blades...they're a lot of fun...

There is also:
http://www.romansempireproductions.com/Weapons.htm
which has one hilt design, with a choice of three colors of EL blades.
Note that only Master Replicas make and sell replicas. The others sell their own designs.

Parks, Lighttech, and Romans Empire are okay because they sell sabres and/or light blades, not replicas of movie sabres. Master Replicas is okay because they are authorized by LFL to produce replicas.
Jedi_Eoc-Lleb's link, while creative in it's explotation of a loop hole in the rules, is the same thing as posting the link itself. It's like changing S to $ in a certain swear word.
To be honest I have no idea why some folks have a problem with this rule. The people who make these replicas spend their spare time researching and perfecting their products while taking an extreme risk of being sued by LFL. Most of these folks are doing this as a labour of love. They're fans too and they aren't purely in it for the money (there are exceptions). As an act of courtesy and respect, we owe it to them to ask their permission via e-mail before posting or by sending the links via the private messanging system.
Why is following this rule such a problem? It requires virtually no effort on your part and it ensures that these folks will still be around in the future so that future costumers will have access to them just like we do.

No they aren't. The only folks licensed by LFL are Rubies (unforunately), Master Replicas, and in Altmann's Armor in Australlia only.

Didnt think so. There is another company called Icons or something, and I believe they are a licensed prop maker as well. However while they do have nice products, their prices are astronomical. I see them on ebay from time to time.

On this issue of "Unlicensed vs. Licensed" prop makers - It shouldn't be against rules to post names or links to people/sites that produce replica flashguns or replica parts, because neither of those groups of items is or ever was or ever could be licensed by Lucasfilm - correct? I am speaking mostly on OT lightsabers in this case - because their are several sources for replica parts that are related to flashguns such as Graflex, Heiland, MPP, etc.. So, are these sites being censored too?
