Ready to Poyozo Dance all over your face.

I seem to recall that occasionally newbie Jedi would fry their first lightsabers by putting in crappy crystals, so you obviously couldn't just huck a chunk of quartz in there and go to town. I think Corran Horn killed his once by using cubic zirconium, thinking it was a real diamond (he pulled it off of some pirate treasure or something).

Tennel Ka, from the Young Jedi Knights series, constructed her first lightsaber by making a bunch of beautiful engravings on a rancor tooth that she used for the handle, then just crammed all the other stuff into it haphazardly at the last minute, including a flawed focusing crystal from a volcano near the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV. She was rushing it because she'd been dicking around doing physical training while her friends were actually taking their time to construct their lightsabers properly, because she believed that a well-trained warrior could easily make up for any deficiencies in their weapon.

Her lightsaber promptly malfunctioned and shorted out during her first sparring session against Jacen Solo, leading to her arm getting cut off and blown up when the lightsaber exploded a few seconds later. :v:
