I found a website where you can actually make your own saber in a way.
Ultra Sabers allows you to choose what kind of hilt you can choose. From there you can choose the kind of blade color you want. You can choose a blade plug. A plug can go inside the hole the blade goes if you dont want to have the blade in there. It protects the electronics. You can also choose a belt clip. Then you can buy it!

Lightsabers. Final Report. (Genius Hour)
Even though REAL lightsabers can't be made, (Lack of power source so compact, Blade would be indefinite, and kyber crystals don't exist) many varieties of fake lightsabers exist.
The most common kind of saber is the swing-saber (Not its actual name, I couldn't find the companies name who makes it). This saber is "Powered" by you swinging it to extend the blade, similar to a lightsaber turning on. Although this is the most common, and least expensive (Usually $9.99), it is cheaply made. It shouldn't be used to hit against other sabers with full force, as the plastic will dent and bend and sometimes crack.
The next saber is Disney's lightsaber. This one is very cool. Even though they only have two sabers in store and two online only, (Kylo Ren's, Darth Vader's, yoda's and Rey/Luke/Anakin's) it is high quality. The blade doesn't retract, it lights up. With the press of a button, the blade lights up and a speaker makes noise as a saber would. If you swing the saber, a swinging noise is made. If you hit an object, a loud electric, plasmic, noise is made. The plastic blade on this is stronger and can be used in battle. This blade is more expensive. ($29.95)
The final saber is Saberforge's Adaptive Saber Parts. Even though these lightsabers are not from the movies, they are custom. When Saberforge was promoting their business, they had a special offer where you could make your own saber at Saber Parts. I made my own lightsaber. However, this offer is over and you can only get certain sabers at Saberforge's Website. These sabers, like Disney's are high quality, with noise, lights and fun. And even better, you don't receive a lightsaber when you purchase one. You are delievered the parts and YOU have to put it together. You learn how to make your own lightsaber! The only thing is, the prices vary. Apprentice Sabers start at $49 and add with accessories and kits. Elite sabers start at $149. Crystal Sabers start at $249 but have the crystal chamber showing.

Lightsabers (Genius Hour)
Have you ever wanted to build your own lightsaber? Even though the parts are above, you can't. There are no Kyber crystals (Primary Crystal), or a power source so compact able to power a weapon to make an electrified plasma beam. You can't even stop the plasma. It would go on indefinitely. As much as we all want one, we can't have them. Sorry.
