From the upcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic, #4 of the seven lightsabers of the Sith Warrior class. I added a second saber to show the shroud closed.

Nice render. With my sentinels version from Corellia had a closed state like this one.

True. From the concept art it looked natural that it would close.

Now that is a cool concept. An Emitter shroud is a wonderful idea. I love it. I'm surprised that there's not more lightsabers with some sort of emitter protection. I would think it would be more common and practical.

Also, with something like that, you can disguise the lightsaber as something else, like a nasty looking stabby thing in this case, or something more non-descript.

Only problem with a closing shroud is what happens if it does not open and the blade still activates? Your enemies, and possible you, get shower with molten metal or worse the saber explodes due to a power feedback.

True, true. Of course the Sith wouldn't be so concerned about that little set back as a Jedi would.
