Star wars 2 trailer - Tonight on fox

[Arthur Dent]

Face,

First, Luke MADE his second lightsaber himself. The one he loses in Empire was Anakin's. Somehow, Obi Wan got Anakin's lightsaber and gives it to Luke in SW:ANH.

According to the books, the creation of the gemstones that focus the laser into a blade requires an intense and difficult use of the force. It is one of the major tests of Jedi training. therefore, ALL Jedi make their own lightsabers. (The darkside, being "faster" might skip the test and use machined parts. Who knows?)

Also according to the book, the "normal" lightsabers seen in the original trilogy are the traditional weapon of the Jedi. The unusual lightsabers were invented mostly by the Sith (darkside). Some were adopted by the Jedi during the Sith Wars (about a thousand years before any of the movies).

Seeing Anakin use two (haven't seen the trailer yet myself) could be a sign of him going dark in this film. Though I saw a shot of Palpatine with two in an earlier teaser trailer.

damn, I know WAY too much about this.
