First thing is to consider what your lightsaber will look like. What color blade" how long is the blade? how long is the hilt? do you want it to look intricate or just a plain chrome flashlight? Where do you want to place the buttons or switch?

To help you out use this useful tool called the Modular Hilt System (MHS) Builder: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/mhsbuilder/ 

Not only is it great in helping you visualize your concept, it also will provide you with a parts list. Below is an example of a hilt created in MHS Builder.
