Why Luke and Anakin's Lightsabers are DIFFERENT after Revenge of the Sith - Star Wars Explained (Th)

In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker builds his final lightsaber as he nears immense power before turning to the dark side at Palpatine's side...after Anakin fights Obi-Wan Kenobi and loses, Obi-Wan picks up Anakin's lightsaber and keeps with his person until giving it to Luke Skywalker almost 20 years later.

If it's the same lightsaber, then why do they look different?
Taking production and filming reasons out of it, I think my theory is reasonable...I just hope we get a CANON answer sooner than later!

Thanks for watching and may the force be with you...ALWAYS!!!

What if blasters weren’t so “uncivilized”?

Uncle Ben's distaste of Obi Wan? Did Uncle Ben tell Luke that with great power comes great responsibility?

*Uh, that doesn't compute, uh, you're under arrest!*

[ryann]

I got a good chuckle out of that “because George made a continuity mistake.” *VIDEO ENDS*

Ben swolo vs Emperor palPROTEIN vs Qui-Gon GYM who will win.

I think the bubble strip being a padawan training wheel makes complete sense, especially Since Anakin’s lightsaber in episode II also had it when he was a Padawan

[forrestfire]

The bubble strip would make sense for ease of use for the lightsaber as Vader’s lightsaber has the same strip on it, meaning that he can use his saber with a lot more ease with his cybernetic limbs

WHAT IF R2 TURNED GREVIOUS TO THE LIGHT SIDE?!!!???

[EntropiReality]

The lightsaber changed when it got the high ground (when Obi-wan picked it up)

[Litebikeman]

I always thought that it was because keeping both his and Anakin’s lightsabers maintained for 20 years on a desert planet was difficult. Overtime he had to replace certain parts using whatever was available to him. That’s why Obi Wan’s lightsaber also looks different and why they both now have the bubble strip.

Ben Kenobi to 10yr old Luke: So uhh... How fo you feel about belt clips?"

Luke: "I like D-rings"

Ben: "I'll give you the D"

Luke: "What?"

Ben: "What?"

Anakin had made his lightsaber while almost at master level

"Uncle Ben"
The most ambitious crossover

[leib]

Ironically, the ROTS version of the saber (known as the Skinnyflex) is much easier to hold and use than the Graflex, the version seen in the OT.

Lol you're so hilarious😂😂😂😂 continuity mistake by George Lucas

[greg]

I wonder if Obi-Wan purified the Kyber Crystal. I have a theory that Anakin's atrocities may've tainted it.

[nerdzunite]

I can understand the logic of the bubble strip for Luke but if it were possibly due to him being a novice then why does Obi Wans saber have the bubble strip in Episode 4?

[wyndorphstormcrow]

I always figured it was damaged being dropped on the hot shores of the lava River on mustafar and obi wan repaired it, just my thoughts

[chocov]

3:15 - I just realized that look was swinging Anakin's Light Saber way to close to C-3PO in this scene, C-3PO is also looking a little off here, wonder why.

[sheevone]

I love how SW theory first presents the "real" answer (continuity mistake in this case) and then presents the Legends explanation (more rather excuse) after.
