The design for Yoda's lightsaber as featured in Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones comes from an unexpected source. Master Replica's VP of Product Development, Steve Dymszo, originally produced the lightsaber, and his model appears in the Episode I Visual Dictionary. Eventually, that design was adapted by Lucasfilm and used in Attack of the Clones. It is interesting to note that no physical lightsaber prop was ever produced for filming because the Yoda character and his lightsaber were both completely computer generated for the first time ever in a Star Wars movie.
