I made the hilt of the lightsaber using silver/mirror metallic cardstock, and as you can see, it's very shiny! ;o)
The lightsaber blade I made by printing the light-blueish papercraft part on a printable, plastic transparant sheet, so the assembled piece is semi-transparant (but you could also trace the parts on a coloured plastic sheet directly).
