    You all need to stop saying it's Luke's lightsaber. It was originally Anakin's. Sure, Luke ended up with it from Obi-Wan, but Anakin's the one who built the lightsaber.

    Maybe it is old man Palpatine's saber. Perhaps he liked going to his old Master's tomb to gloat and feed on the sweet sweet dark side juices.

    I think everyone knows that, but that's why I do the "Ani/Luke" thing. But, how do you judge who's it is rightfully. Luke was the last owner (as far as we know). If I got a car from my father who passed away in a lightning storm and someone Cut me off,crashed and I fell down a vent shaft and my car got towed to a junkyard because it was shot, and my friends found it later and needed my handle to open their magic car they would most likely refer to it as mine and not my fathers. All jokes aside though, it's still technically both of theirs.
    Pass me a mug of that my friend,Cheers!

    In terms of the lightsaber, i remember listening to a MSW podcast a few weeks back and there was a discussion surrounding the "key lightsaber". According to that podcast there seemed to be quite a few different lightsabers that were used as "placeholder" in the concept art. It wasn't until the teaser and the lightsaber sound at the end does it seem to confirm that Anakin's saber is in fact the one that has been chosen.

    Canon now shows us that, basically, the crystal chooses the user (which is likely a Will of the Force type thing).

    So it's very possible that the crystal used in that lightsaber chose Anakin for a specific reason...and that for that crystal to survive, the Force has "looked after its survival."

    Stop being so paranoid. If it works, it works.

    It probably isn't even true.

    I said before on a previous post what I felt.

    But to engage the thread instead of running in circles,

    What if there is a blue lightsaber with a cross light that looks like Driver's red one. I've wondered about that since that one guy seemed to imply this back in September, what would it mean.

    Additional implication but not 100% solid context (use of plural):

    I have exactly one... one thought on it, and it can be taken two ways.

    When he mentions the damage to Luke Skywalkers hand, he is talking about the damage like it is new information, the way it is presented and talked about indicates that he saw this and that he didnt realize that Luke Skywalkers hand was previously damaged in Return of the Jedi.

    Its also possible he just included that information because lukes hand wasdamaged then, and he wanted to legitimize his fabricated leak by over detailing.

    I personally read it with caution. I too noticed the "soft spots" in the structure of the emails and while there may be credible leaks within the e-mails I'm having a hard time getting too attached to the content, but nevertheless have stored the info. In MY mind, this is about the time that the rumors and leaks start hemorrhaging out...and LF/Disney/Abrams know it. Remember, now it's a magic trick....misdirection, sleight of hand, disinformation, misinformation, and plain old lies to keep us guessing. Be wary of "I've got spoilerific information" without knowing the source...or for that matter THEIR source. It's like a blind date that you've only exchanged e-mails with, and none of your friends know them... :)

    My magic Crystal ball says:

    Han Solo and the Falcon will not be in Episode VIII

    There are 1 Solo Kid, 1 Organa kid and 1 Skywalker kid

    Replace the Saint-Graal by Plagueis' secret for immortality

    There you have a Tomb and a Corpse and an awakening

    Or he's referring to Captain Phasma's Wampa's claw lightsaber.

    As much as I love ford as Dr Jones, does anyone really want to see a 70+ yr old doing an action movie.

    I'm all for it if they do a back-and-forth tale between his younger self and his older self. Maybe they can tie it into The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, where he had an eyepatch in his old age.

    And then from there they can milk the franchise with the younger version of the character. The X-Men: Days Of Future Past method.
