Finally!
Here is a patch of sorts to fix the Coruscant Knight's lightsabers to how I originally wanted them. Just had to remap and detach the faces on the model since it was mulching the UVW map or whatever. YAY.
Well I finally got it mostly correct, but the grip area still has a bit of a problem with stretching the texture. Will continue to tinker with it and I'm forming an idea for the next version of the mod which will make saber building a bit more complicated.

Unzip this folder and drop the models and texture into SLM's patch data folder and let overwrite. Then just copy to override.
