Thanks for the creepy lightsaber, Obi-Wan! (SPOILERS)

I just realized something. Luke's lightsaber in Episodes 4 and 5 is the same one Darth Vader used to murder a bunch of younglings. Obi-Wan probably just wanted to get rid of it, so he gave it to Luke without mentioning how terrible its history was.

It's jinxed! In the entire series bad things happen to those who possess it or use it in a fight. Just look at the facts!

Luke made the red saber for Leia in Planet of Twilight (i think).. and she fought her first duel... killing her dark side kidnapper.

Do some of you not really know that Luke's saber in ep IV was blue? I saw ppl below say it changes colors in the different dvds and stuff. Trust me I was there - in the theater in 1977 that is. It was clearly blue. (Sometimes it looked white cause of the special effects quality but it wasn't supposed to be.)

Yes but Anikan wasn't always a rutheless killing sith-machine, he was a great pilot and jedi, and a good friend as Obiwan says :) that lightsaber had many great and wonderous things done with it, like the countless missions Anikan went on with Obiwan, where Anikan had saved Obiwan many times, but that time on nemodia(spelling?) doesn't count ;).

It also is weird colours in the latest DVD release. That's what I was referring to anyway. But yeah, it's meant to be blue. :)

Anakin's saber in episode 3 = same saber luke uses in eps 4 + 5. and it is BLUE and has always been blue. However, it looks weird colors in the non special edition movies because that was the best effect they could get at the time.... Luke's new saber in ROTJ was one he constrcuted based on the same design as obi-wan's saber that he had from episode 2 on through to he died.

There are many Speculations and EU interpretations of what happened to the 3 "lost" sabers from the films. The "lost" sabers are:
1) Anakin's / lukes saber from eps 3-5 after luke drops it.
2) Vader's saber after he loses it in the death star.
3) Obi- Wan's saber after Vader kills him and takes the saber with him.

Notice one other thing: Jedi design their sabers differently but some looks similar. Anakin/Vader made all his sabers look very similar....

After luke lost his saber he created a new green one with a design based on obi wan's saber. :D

I've seen the 1977 trailer, and Obi-Wan's saber was entirely white there :P

This really depends on what version you're watching. I don't quite remember the exact colors, but I know Lucas did some switching with the DVD editions.


Switching?!? It goes from blue to green to white to off blue... I have no idea why... :confused:

No, Luke constructs a new (green) lightsaber in between Empire and Jedi. But my point earlier was about the symbology, within the films, of Anakin's saber. I doubt Mara Jade even existed at that point, within Lucas' mind anyway.

Nope. lets see if anyone follows this. maybe im wrong. The red bladed Lightsaber Vader has is Destroyed when the Deathstar blows up.

The lightsaber Obi-Wan gives Luke in EpIV is blue.
The Lightsaber Anakin fights Obi-Wan with in Ep3 is Blue.
<<<<<<Game spoiler>>>>>>>
after Obi-Wan Defeats Anakin on Mustaf or what the name of the planet is, He picks up Anakins Lightsaber and walks away.
I'm assuming its the same one he gives luke.:D
.........which is blue:eek:

Wait, Anakins lightsaber in EP. 3 is blue, the one given to Luke in EP. 4 is green?

I am not positive on this, though.

The lightsaber isn't lost :) Its later found and given to mara (or is it leia?) Read the books people!!!


Leia's lightsaber is Darth Vader's saber, the red one that we all know and love as a symbol of the darkside. After Mara lost her original saber (which I'm pretty sure wasn't Anakin's) Luke gave her a saber he made. :)
