SPECULATION The Fate of Finns Lightsaber

If this is the case for Luke, I hope it gets fixed in the new trilogy. I want to see Luke realising from his own life experiences that the Jedi of old had things wrong.
Not necessarily for him, but for the future generations.

I have a real hard time believing that Han and Leia would leave their daughter alone on some desert junkyard.
I could buy into the idea of Luke leaving her there to keep her hidden from certain people who might be looking, because he has a reason to not come looking for her...
But Han and Leia? They'd have to have something real good to explain that.

I'm pretty sure it was reported at the time that this years Skellig Michael shoot was all VIII.
There had been speculation that it was for VII, but I don't think JJ Abrams was ever seen in the vicinity this time around.

 

He doesn't have to be reported, and everyone refused to comment on the shoot so we're left in the dark.

 

Do we know that she actually takes the lightsaber to Luke (I have not read the spoilers/leaks)?
I was thinking what if the "hope is not lost" line means that they lost it to Kylo, who could then build a more stable version of his for later eps... Rey could end up inheriting Luke's green one, while in training, until she builds her own double-lightsaber (please!), and Luke would have an even bigger Yoda role, without a lightsaber... The "hope is found" part would be because Rey would still go to Luke to be trained...

Not really sure how Finn fits in... Not being in Skellig and the reported brainwash against Luke, he would initially be trained by Maz, but without a lightsaber? He could build his own with her, instead of when he is eventually trained by Luke?

I really like the idea that it could go to Leia, after seeing her using one in the last comic, but if she doesn't keep one after that, I don't think she would keep it now...

PS: Great topic! Never had really considered the fate of the lightsaber...

 

Is he takes the light saber to Kamino and its used to clone multiple Vaders.

 

Everyone refused to comment?
Lucasfilm contacted news outlets about the shoot:

"Lucasfilm says reports that Star Wars: The Force Awakens would be regrouping for reshoots in Ireland this month are erroneous and that the actual plan is to begin shooting sequences from director Rian Johnson’s 2017 sequel Episode VIII."

We also had photos much closer to the set this time around... like this one:



The rocky platform under the tent clearly doesn't belong here...

 

In ever saw that !

 

If Rey does take the saber to Luke...how would that even play out?

The story going around is that the saber contains Luke location, but how? Did he know where he was going to be 30 years in the future, in a location that was never mentioned or likely he never knew about since he had just recently left Tatooine for the first time.

Does this have a Lord of the rings element where the saber is calling for its master?

If I had to decide between Lukes old saber or his hand being used to find his location, I would choose his hand. At least you can pull DNA off that thing.

Though I think someone also mentioned that the droids figured out some code using the saber to find his location. Likely R2 releases a message from Luke like Lea did in a New Hope.

 

The main theories are that Luke recovered the lightsaber some time between TESB and TFA... and that Maz Ability let's her see things connected to objects.

 

Well, let's presume the fact that this is even a topic of conversation at all owes itself to the MSW spoilers to at least some degree...
So whether you accept the MSW spoilers or reject the shooting schedule leaks completely - let's just put that argument to one side for the sake of the "lightsaber as a McGuffin" being an actual thing worth discussing for the moment...
Then everybody seems to be ignoring this, from the spoilers relating to Rey's interrogation:

Rey apparently has learned something about Kylo instead of Kylo learning something about her during this metaphysical connection they have formed. But it isn’t a total win for Rey as Kylo does figure out he doesn’t need the lightsaber to carry out his goals and there is another way.

I'm not so sure things need to be taken so literally as some people seem to be.
The lightsaber is just a means to an end.
Kylo wants to destroy the last Jedi. He thinks the lightsaber can lead him closer to that goal. But, he eventually figures he can do that without the lightsaber.
Just because the characters in the movie believe the lightsaber can perform a specific function, does not mean that is necessarily the case.

Personally - just IMHO of course - I doubt Luke ever set hands on the saber again after he lost it above Bespin. I doubt it contains any kind of code in a literal sense - characters in the movie just hope it can lead them to Luke. And maybe it can, and does, somehow, but I doubt that has anything to do with Luke himself...

Like I said, just how I personally see things...

 

I like this idea also, having Mara show up would be a nice nod to all the nerds that participated in the EU stories. Essentially a little Easter egg for us!
