Well, anyways. I had an idea for the crackly saber, which I’m not entirely sure if you have this intention in mind, Hal, but here it is.

We all know exactly why Kylo Ren’s crossguard saber has an unstable blade. Symbolically, it reflects the internal conflict in his character. Now the scene in The Force Awakens where he attempts to use the Force on Anakin’s saber and flies towards Rey shows that he is not worthy to wield the Skywalker lightsaber, due to his place on the Dark Side, despite being a part of the family line.

The decision to make Anakin’s saber have an unstable blade in this edit is to obviously connect with how it broke in half in The Last Jedi. I figured, what if the kyber crystal forged back together properly once Rey hands it to Ben on Exegol to symbolize that his internal conflict is no more, and that he is now worthy to wield it. One last fizzle, and then the proper blade should do it for VFX. Afterall, Rey did heal his scar when healing him on Endor.
