oh and as a deleted scene or something restore lukes blue saber in jedi!

I'm not too keen on that, I like the fact that Luke's sabre is similar to Ben's but unique, it signals that he is no longer just following in the footsteps of his idealised dream of what his father was but is a man in his own right and a Jedi in the mold of Obi-Wan but new (green is the colour of spring and re-birth).

I realise that is just a romantic interpretation of a piece of hardware but Vader does make a point of the new weapon and the skill needed to construct it.

ROTJ needs to clutch onto whatever mythic unique qualities it has.

Does the movie ROTJ ever say that is the Executor? Aside from novels and EU? Which aren't CANON, If were going down the route that ONLY the films and their end credits are canon.

It doesn't say that Vader's command ship is the Executor in ESB either.

Han says there are plenty of the things even though we only (as far as we know) see one in the films. It's possible, all be it unlikely, that he used more than one in that film.

It's make's more sense to see them as the same ship but either way that console is in a very stupid place, blocking a walkway that has been designed to put the command staff above the technicians, possibly to psychologically underline their rank.
