Vader's, or Anakin's? I thought it was Anakin's, though that one is probably still lost somewhere on Cloud City.
Star Wars Ep. VII has a name...
- Thread starter @Li3n
- Start date
Vader.
Something else I noticed re-watching, when Han says "We're home" they're in one of the corridors of the Millennium Falcon, which makes me think at some point between VI and VII they lost it.[DOUBLEPOST=1429330480,1429330288][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, someone get that black kid an inhaler, he's out of breath in every single shot he's been shown in.
Hey man, spoilers!
There's three different sabers. There's Anakin's blue lightsaber, taken from him by Obi Wan Kenobi and given to Luke years later.
There's the red saber that Darth Vader uses afterwards, which looks very similar since, you know, they were both made by the same guy.
And then there's Luke's green saber that he makes himself.
When did Luke have time for that?
After Empire, but before Return. He built it during the search for Han Solo after he recovered and mastered his new hand. While Chewie, Leia, and Lando were dealing with the Dark Sun Syndicate, Luke went back to Obi-wan Kenobi's house on Tatoonine to meditate and work on the new saber. Look up "Shadows of the Empire", which is a comic/novel/game that covers that time period.
Man, we ain't found shit!
Vader also comments on it in Return of the Jedi, noting that Luke must have completed his Jedi training, since that typically happens with building your own lightsaber.

NOOOOOOOOoooooooooo.......
Is that a "the bad guy is my dad" nooo, or a "Padme is dead" noooo, or the new "don't kill my son" noooo?
Or the "Qui Gon Jin is dead" noooo, or the "Obi Wan is dead" noooo?
I forgot about those. Wonder if we'll get a new nooooo in the new movie.
I'm fairly certain we do. I haven't watched RotJ in years though, and don't plan on ever watching ep II again to find out
... huh?
That was my impression as well, that they were reclaiming it somehow.
...if it survived the fall. I assume it was eventually ejected the same way Luke was, which would mean it would probably be lost somewhere deep in Bespin's churning gases.
Vader is not actually Anakin, Vader is Vader, the same way that Cassius Clay and Muhammed Ali are two "different" people. One is what he was, the other is what he became.
Maybe he didn't. It could be the new Sith that wanted it.
He probably did it while they were there. I suppose for memories.
For some reason I thought you had said "I wonder if we get a nooo in each movie".

Got it.
Probably this. What little has been said about the new Sith (I can never remember his name) he's a collector searching for Sith artifacts.

I could see that. The trailer's definitely modulated to tug at the nostalgia of people who saw the original 3 as kids.
"The dislike is strong in our family. I have it. You have it."
I went through a period like that, and so seemed the case with other kids at the time. We stopped liking Star Wars, Disney, etc. My cousins will be 13 in two months and it seems to be the age of "I'm bored."

A long line of meh Star Wars games culminating in Force Unleashed had me thinking I'd finally gotten bored of Star Wars for good.

We've really been given nothing to care about in Star Wars for many years, and not because of lack of Star Wars stuff. I'm surprised more people here haven't just given up.
I've got a bad feeling about this.

I never actually played it. It looked too much like... I dunno, emo mary sue basementdweller ego stroking.
It is definitely not an exciting trailer. When the voiceover is a recut of dialog from a movie released in the 80s, the whole point is to pluck the nostalgia strings. 12 year olds aren't the target, clearly.
