I think another bit that might have caused the messy UVW; is that the saber was made out of several seperate objects. I then attached them all to oneanother to form "1" object.

Which I then UVWmapped. I do know from experience to correct the UVW map you can detach 'to element' all the bits of your model; as you mapped the model. Or in some lucky cases just a few bits needed to be detached.

But with this model... I didn't get a good result :-S
