Umm...considering that Luke's saber was the same prop as Obi-Wan's, just repainted, I think he based it on that saber.

well... it wasn't the exact same prop. ObiWan's from ANH was made of found parts. Luke's from RotJ was a machined piece. In fact...the first machined piece they used. All the other sabers were assembled from found parts. However, Luke's bears a hella resemblance to Obi Wan's.

A very close resemblance. In fact it looks so much closer to Obi-wans than Yodas, that I'd think that Luke modeled his lightsaber after Obi-wans then Yodas.
But thats just me.

From the ROTJ script:
***
Vader looks down from Luke to the lightsaber in his own black- gloved hand. He seems to ponder Luke's words.
VADER (indicating lightsaber) I see you have constructed a new lightsaber.
Vader ignites the lightsaber and holds it to examine its humming, brilliant blade.
VADER Your skills are complete. Indeed, you are powerful, as the Emperor has foreseen.
They stand for a moment, then Vader extinguishes the lightsaber.
***
Well, I don't think that Vader says that construction of a lightsabre is an essential part of Jedi training. To give you an alternative theory: most Jedi are/were simply issued with a lightsabre, perhaps made by a skilled Jedi armourer of sorts. However, it is the mark of a particularly skilled Jedi that he can construct his own weapon -- hence the "indeed, you are powerful." I mean, do you really think the kiddies Yoda was training had made their sabres?

Yes, but only after a certain age. It does take skill to constrcut a lightsaber afterall. If it's your opinion that its constructed as part of the training or just constructing a lightsaber shows that you are good at building things, then it's your opinion. Since evidence shows both ways, in the movies only. If we go by books as well, then it's part of the training.

Of course, these are the same books that say that Boba Fett stole and moified a Police Ship for Slave One.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
