When I last showed this, I was but the learner, now I am the master!
*giggles* finally finished my stand for my saber! It was a simple build and fairly cheap. The base is a wood shelf from Menards, only cost me $6 and the clips are from an old Maglight type flashlight that we don't have anymore. I used a candle to heat up the plastic and bend the front arms out.
Then I used some really nice spray paints. The base is painted with 'oil rubbed bronze', it's nice and dark, but not black and it has little metal flakes all throughout. The clips are done in 'hammered' silver, though when it was done, they still looked like plastic, but I still like the texture. Stainless steel screws hold the clips down.
Then, I found a seller on ebay for the logo in the center. At first I thought it might be a bit tacky because "well duh, it's Star Wars", but after putting it on there, I'm glad I went for it. It even has rubber feets on the bottom to keep it up off the shelf! :P
Altogether, I've spent less than $25 on this setup, which isn't bad because I can use the paint later if I wanna build another. I'm thinking of maaaybe spraying it with clear coat to finish it off, I haven't decided yet.
Oh and more info about the saber itself if you're interested: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15202560/

There is also:
http://www.saberforge.com/ I find they are a bit more pricey and not as many options, but still very nice designs
And if you're feeling frisky and want to build your own:

So unbelievably awesome.
I hate that Darth Maul became such a fan-favorite Sith lord when Count Dooku was so much more badass. Besides, he was Christopher Lee. That's awesome in and of itself. And that curved lightsaber hilt was so much more elegant and awesome than Maul's double bladed one.

Here's the thing about The Force Awakens...
... I had no idea Ford wanted Han to die.
I went into that movie COMPLETELY BLIND.
I think I was the only one in the theater whom was legitimately and completely shocked by that turn of events. I kept thinking, "I know where this is going... but it can't happen, Han's the luckiest son of a bitch in the galaxy, I'm sure he'll figure a way out of this, or some sort of deus-ex-machina will save hi-"stab. Jaw drops. Roommates sitting next to me are amused by my reaction.

Oh, trust me, you weren't the only one. Sure, other people probably saw it coming, but I'm sure most people were shocked that it really did happen. They always put a point like this in any movie and then tease you with it before saying "oh, nevermind, it wasn't really going to happen", this time it did. I mean, the tension was building, you had that brief moment where you actually believed that Kylo would hand over the lightsaber and then bam! No more Solo.
I wonder if it'll go into detail about how he met Chewbacca. I think that'd be an interesting way to go about it~
The old expanded universe stuff said he was smuggling Wookee slaves for a client whom asked him to murder one, which turned out to be Chewie, but instead he freed them all, so Chewie felt he owed Han a life debt, and the two became friends forever. S'why I think Chewbacca's just gonna MURDER EVERYBODY IN THE GALAXY in Star Wars 8. Han was the only one in the entire galaxy whom could stop Chewbacca from ragemurdering everybody.
