The blade on my vader saber has come loose from smacking it off stuff. Whats the best way to restabilize the attachment. Super Glue? Rubber Cement?

That depends on what kind of Vader saber you have...
Is it a Master Replicas?

Hmm, that may not have been the best glue to use.
I believe cyanoacrylate glues bond by partially dissolving the plastic. You may have just doomed your blade to breaking in that spot. 
I would keep on eye on it. If the plastic starts breaking down, don't use it anymore. You wouldn't want the blade breaking off and injuring someone.
I had heard there was a set screw that comes lose and can be tightened. Too bad you didn't wait a little longer for the advice you sought.
And I don't think Goo Gone or that kind of adhesive remover is going to remove the excess super glue, either.

From what i see from now the only problem is a the excess glue. My dad said he has something my neighbor gave him that can get almost everything off of stuff so that will work. Yes i am impatient i cn't stand having something not done. It drives me insane!!!!! Homework especially.
