Personally, my favorite part of the crackly saber would be when Ben wields it. I see it as this: He’s been obsessed with his grandfather for a long time, and as we see in TFA and TLJ, he’s desperate to have the lightsaber too. After his redemption in TROS, he finally gets the saber but it’s imperfect and crackly, just like his saber as Kylo. To me, this represents him finally accepting the light side of the Skywalker legacy, but he can’t ignore the sins of his past. So while he gets to wield the object which represents the light side of the Skywalker legacy (Anakin, Luke, Rey), it’s still crackly to show he can’t ignore what he was and what he has done, but can do his best to atone for his past.

This is why it’s the most important edit to me and I really hope it can be completed 😃
