May the force be with you!
Rejected because: Our lawyers recommended no 'Star Wars' references. Lucas is a tough cookie.

WHat you may want to do is change the saber so it doesn't look exactly like one from Star Wars. Duplicating a movie saber is a great way to earn the wrath of Lucasfilm Stormlawyers.
However, prop saber makers (like Parks Sabers http://www.parksabers.com/ ) make props that are recognizably light sabers without touching on Lucas copyrights.
Best of luck with the redesign!
