About Emperor's lightsaber remark.

In Return Of The Jedi, when Luke is brought to the Emperor, he looks at Luke's new saber.

He says: "Much like your fathers".

Erm.....no it isn't. It looks more like Obi-Wan's, and the beam is green. Nothing like it, in fact.

Discuss.

Sidious was old and his eyes fried... He couldn't clearly see the lightsaber...

Or maybe just the fact that it was a lightsaber

yeah, anakins lightsaber design is strongly based off of obi wans

Is that sarcasm? His saber looks nothing like it, it's been commented on that most Padawans try to base their design on their Masters out of respect, yet Anakin did not.....

Senility strikes again!

Very True can anyone post pics of the sabreS?

I really don't care.

**** off then!!!

the lightsaber style and color was irrelevant. noticed he said the "weapon of a jedi" when vader carries one as well. the emporer was only drawing the comparrison to remind luke that he was able to control his father, to eat away at his hope.

in other words, i dont think he was referring to the blue saber, but to vaders sith saber.

The guys an old cripple. He cant tell the difference.

Exactly.

The full-line is:
"Ah, yes. A Jedi's weapon. Much like your father's. By now you must know that your father can never be turned from the Dark Side. So will it be with you."

He was using it as a blank-inferrence on how he twisted Anakin into Vader, and how he would do the same with Luke, no matter of his Jedi weapon.

If it wasn't for the fact that i can't post links till i am more known, I'd be able to put down every main charactors lightsaber.

PM to someone and they can post them

Luke's lightsaber in ROTJ bears a striking resemblance to Obi-Wan's in Episode III and IV. It is that old WWII British hand grenade. Vader's lightsaber was "much like" Anakin's former lightsaber, only some added black to the hilt and of course a red blade.

Here is Luke's

And Obi-wans

And Vader's (only ESB version)

cbf reading that but

if he had a blaster, called it a lightsaber, "much like your fathers" then it would be a bit ****ed up.
Seeing only 1 sith and 1 jedi using lightsaber at the time, its the closest comparison

Vader's doesn't look like anybodys? Lukes and Ben's look similar.
Anyone got a pic of Anakin/Luke's lightsaber.
