I’ve been wanting to build a New Hope Luke Skywalker lightsaber with those “Yoda” Kyber crystal chamber inside. I think those things are cool, but seem to be pricey. But I’ve been wanting to do that for many years now. But in The Last Jedi, I think Luke disrespects that lightsaber. And he treats it like it’s a piece of crap or something. And it’s just kind of a turn off of building a lightsaber now.

I used to have one of those FX Luke A New Hope lightsabers many years ago. The one where you can remove the blade. I believe the newer ones don’t let you remove the blade.

Does anyone know who built the Empire Strikes Back Luke lightsaber for these new movies? I’m wondering if this was built in Disney or Lucasfilm? Or if they outsourced it to a fan club thing like they did with R2-D2?

I have to say even though I don’t like how they treated the lightsaber in TLJ, I wouldn’t mind owning the lightsaber prop, even the one that was tore in two. Mainly because I’d want to see how they did a Kyber crystal chamber thing inside. I’ll have to wait until the Blu-Ray to pause and see if it shows on screen the inside of the lightsaber when it’s torn in two.
