Towards the end of The Last Jedi, Luke was completely ruined. The projection scene was stupid. Why? Because he didn’t project himself with the green saber, which is the best saber!

LOL. you had me going for half a second there, well done sir.
I’d love to see him fight with a purple saber, yelling at Ren “he’s the traitor !”.

CHANGE LIST:
- Make projection-Luke’s saber green.
- That’s literally the only thing I want to change.
Well played good sir - well played…

This is literally the most important challenge this community has ever faced. Tell Harmy and willarob to shut down Despecialized and 4K77 until this is taken care of, nothing else matters!

Is it done yet ? I’ll need it for my next marathon.
Any update ?
There is no news since the last minutes… is this project still alive ?
In all seriousness, I really do want to see this happen. I’ll probably take a stab at it myself, but I’m sure others have more skill at this sort of thing than I do.
I also think it’d be necessary to replace the hilt with the ROTJ hilt, but I don’t know how feasible that would be.

Or, leave the hilt, and if someone notices, explain that it’s a hint at the fact that it’s a projection.

To make this change work you have to replace Ankin’s saber with Luke’s throughout TFA and TLJ.
The fact that we just saw the blue saber explode, then Luke has it just fine was my way too obvious hint as to what was really going in. If he had his green saber the whole time, it would actually work better for me personally.

I’m sorry I can’t support this trash.

No you don’t. Why would you?
If the whole idea is that Luke’s legend as a Jedi grew in the years after ROTJ, most people would be familiar with his green lightsaber anyway (he’s had that for 3 decades compared to a couple years with the blue one), so it makes more sense (to me) for his projection to use his green one rather than Anakin’s blue one.
In all seriousness
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Don’t ruin the first good TLJ edit thread.

In TFA and TLJ, his blue lightsaber represents the lost myth of Luke Skywalker and the Jedi that they need to find and bring back.
At the end of TFA and the beginning of TLJ, Rey offers Luke the lightsaber, in essence asking for his help to come back and save the galaxy. Luke refuses by walking away. Later, when Rey says that she’s going to go to Ben and Luke says don’t, she offers the saber once again, and he says no. So she has no choice but to got to Ben.
During the course of Rey and Ben’s interaction, she gives him the saber (albeit in a non-traditional way). She thinks he’s the person who will save the galaxy. But when she learns he wants to destroy the Resistance still, she tries to take the saber back. She can’t it breaks in two, and it seems she’s stuck, hopeless.
But then Luke shows up! He’s finally accepted Rey’s offer, he’s come back to face down the First Order and save the Resistance. So what lightsaber should he be using? The one Rey offered him.
At the end, Luke is dead and Rey is left with the broken saber. She asks Leia, despairing, “how can we build a rebellion from this?” Leia takes her hand that’s holding the saber and says “We have everything we need.” The clear implication: they’ll rebuild the rebellion, obviously, but also the Jedi and (potentially) the saber too.
holy cow dom how did you write all of that from talking about a lightsaber hilt?

It’s just what’s in the movie. You wonder why Rian gave him the blue lightsaber, that’s it.
Well I think he has the blue lightsaber to show how he was tooling with Kylo given that Kylo just destroyed that lightsaber the scene before and didn’t even notice it due to how angry he was.

That might be part of it, but I don’t think there’s really any question that it’s a symbolic thing. Rey offering Luke the lightsaber is an explicitly symbolic gesture, we know she’s not just gifting him his lightsaber back, she’s asking him to come back and ignite that “spark of hope.” She does it twice, and both times he refuses. When he does come back to “ignite the spark,” it only makes sense for him to have the lightsaber Rey offered him.
You’ve kinda convinced me, but I still would love to see a version of the “duel” with the green saber.

I understand and agree thematically, but for me personally, I really wanted to see Luke ole greenie. It also gives away the surprise that it is just a projection. We saw the ANH saber destroyed (and so did Kylo). I am planning on not just color changing the blue to green, but am experimenting with replacing the hilt as well. Hopefully i can get it to look good enough to use for edits.

I can’t wait until suspiciouscoffee gets back and see what y’all have done to his thread.

I totally get that.
And, like I said, you can keep the meaning behind it if you replace the saber throughout the two films (although this is very probably impossible).
