Luke's green saber??
Was it ever mentioned why Luke designed his lightsaber to look almost identical to Obi-Wan's? And my bigger question is if it has ever been said where he got the green kyber crystal for it?
As for where his green crystal came from: in Legends it was synthetic -- he created it himself.
No answer has been given in canon, however. Luke may have found it himself on some remote world, or he may have found Qui-Gon's saber in Kenobi's hut and harvested its crystal.
The real reason was because the filmmakers couldn't make a blue blade stand out against the sky during the fight on Jabba's barge.
I assume the in-universe reason was the exact same.

Not sure what the process is for 'retiring' a fallen Jedi's lightsaber, but assuming it was just placed in the vaults, then I could definitely see Kenobi grabbing it when he and Yoda went on their mission back to the Temple following Order 66. I can't imagine him just leaving it there for the Sith to potentially take as a trophy, and/or destroy.
I mean, even Yoda kept mementos from Qui-Gon after the events of RotS. His blanket was made from Qui-Gon's Jedi robes, for example... So it would certainly make sense for Kenobi to take something as important as his old master's saber.

Interesting. I suppose purifying a kyber that has already been bled would be a good lesson for Luke... Though I'd still prefer if he just recycled Qui-Gon's kyber for his RotJ saber. /shrug
