I do remember the crystal part, an initial connection is made and then honed by attuning and meditating with the crystal. Home from work now too, so I can do more research. It's been a long time since I researched SW :P

Both Luke (for his green saber) and Jiana grew their own crystals while meditating on them to remove impurities and imbue it with the force. That's also how the Sith make red lightsaber crystals. That's what my guy's going to do to make his.
Also, in KOTOR 2 you get a personal crystal from the crystal caves on Dantooine (where at least one person will be sent when they are ready for their trials), but it isn't a primary crystal. According to a quote on Wookipedia, most crystals can be used, they just have to be attuned to the force and free from impurities. The reason they use crystals from Illum is because they are very pure and are naturally tuned to the force. We can go there, if you want, though.

Diamond: Jedi-Batman is cool, but the Jedi will have to work on him quite a bit. Torturing your prisoners is quite barbaric and few will be willing to overlook it. My main problem, though, is with your guy having three powers. If you are a vigilante and use the force enough to gain two more abilities after you intuit how to do the first one, either the jedi would have looked for you and tried to stop you for the good of the Republic, or the Sith would have tried to recruit you. Unless you didn't start until after they were gone, in which case you've come remarkably far on your own in only a few years.
