OK before you get ready to flame me...atleast allow me the courtesy of not quoting EU as arguements against me.
Qui-Gon is using a green lightsaber.
When Obi-Wan loses his own, he takes Qui-Gon's.
When Obi-Wan thinks he kills Anakin with that lightsaber...HE TAKES IT APART, because he doesn't want to think about killing his friend. To him, his friend is dead. Just like he tells Luke.
Now when Luke returns to rescue Han on Tattooine, he finds the crystal from Qui-Gon's lightsaber (remember Obi-Wan took it apart), and contructs his own lightsaber around it. never realizing the significance of it.
I think this would add to the continuity of the saga. And have added significance in the scene when Anakin first sees Qui-Gon's lightsaber. Remember that look on Ani's face when he first sees it?
But if you read EU or the encyclopedias well then I'm full of crap.
But if I'm right, Darth Vader will have been turned back by his Son...carrying the same lightsaber Qui-Gon had used years earlier...who FREED Anakin from slavery and FOUGHT to have him trained as a Jedi.
(So just to reiterate...Obi-Wan uses Qui-Gon's lightsaber, kills Anakin with it in Ep III, and is so disgusted by the memory that he takes the lightsaber apart...now when Luke returns to Tattooine to rescue Han he finds the crystal from Qui-Gon's lightsaber and uses it to build his own)
The irony is THIS is the moment when Anakin looks back on his life, and Qui-Gon, who believed in him so much, and when he looks back he realizes what he's done and turns back.
