Well I think it's just the way it's modelled. Check the Jedi Creation doc, somewhere in the middle, to see how a normal saber would be done and do that with the saber pointing backwards. Tough, if you want it to look nice, you probably need to make new animations as well.

DarthZ_123? :P

There's a couple ways of doing it...

1. Modify a double-saber so that only one blade appears. Then change the combo. Looks OK.

2. Modify a regular saber to come out backwards. Syth (I think it was Syth) showed me how to do it in the Jedi Temple WIP topic.

3. Model a new saber that is held backwards. This involves modeling but is the only way to get a perfect looking backhanded saber.

Option 3 involves modeling and animating. Else the saber will probably end up going through your body.
