I think the light sabre would look better if it was not all chrome. Some matte finnished parts (perhaps the handle bits) and a textured button or two maybe.

Holy crap!! Thats awesome work, I can't wait to see him rigged and anitmated. When you painted the fave texture did you use a reference as a guide...how'd you do it? The only thing I can see that might need a little tweaking is the black on his face maybe having some spec to it. But I could be wrong as your renders are possible not your final lighting I take it??

Sorry but I have to say but your lightsabre handle is a little too organic, too much roundness dude!!! Sorry but I'm a big SW fan.
