Interestingly, I came to the same conclusions (looking back at previous
messages on shields) as others and used a 1x1 round flat ("dot") attached to
a minifigs hand, and then the "shield".  Works well, and the flat surface
makes it easy to paint or apply stickers/decals to.

Looking for other solutions, the 2x2 round radar dish works well, too.
Using a lightsabre blade cut in thirds makes a good handgrip and shield
boss.  The torchholder/raygun thingie makes a good classic double-grip if
you nip off the big round part - this seems more sacrilegious than cutting
up the light sabre blade.  Both look dopey from the side if you leave them
uncut, but your esthetics may vary.

Any other solutions?

I used a 2x2 round radar dish an half a white horn, to get a wild forest feel
to my druid character.
