This is on a different topic, but I just had an idea for a change that could be made to the Leia’s Lightsaber reveal to better explain why she gave it up, as well as justifying making the lightsaber purple (which many edits, including mine, are planning to do in honor of Carrie Fisher).
Instead of “she had a vision, she sensed her son’s death at the end of her Jedi path,” it could be something like
“She sensed her destiny as a Jedi was to bring peace, and that in her hands, this blade would only bring darkness. She surrendered her saber to me and told me that one day, it would be picked up by someone who could use their inner darkness for good.” It would obviously have to be modified a great deal in order to be viable with audio splicing and whatnot, but I’d like to try something in that vein.
That might do a better job of tying in the color (because Mace Windu’s lightsaber color also had to do with him using the dark side without being corrupted by it) with the reason Luke decided to give it to Rey (because they just had a whole conversation about Rey being afraid of herself and her past) and with the fan theories that Leia was actually a higher risk of turning evil than Luke was, since she had experienced so much suffering.
