(Disassembling the weapon, removing the power pack and hiding the parts in separate locations is not an option, should the need to draw quickly arise. Hiding the saber inside a capped off lead pipe might work in the short term, but is unwieldy and cumbersome. The answer comes in the form of a series of energy signature baffles, and the incorporation of certain sensor proof alloys into the saber's hilt design. Quite simply, this disguises the lightsaber from sensors and weapon detectors - either concealing the weapon's energy signature outright or electronically 'suggestion' the energy output of something harmless, such as a comlink or a chronometer.)
