	Hi, my name is Jason and I am new to the forums. I have a question regarding the D-rings on the hilts of the lightsabers. In the Original trilogy, we can clearly see the D-ring dangling on the edge of the hilt, where as the lightsabers used in the Prequel trilogy have the covertech clips attached on the side of the hilt. I noticed that the Obi Wan & Luke Skyywalker lightsabers from episode IV are the same ones used in the upcoming episode III movie. I have seen the Episode III trailer and close up shots of the lightsabers and I noticed the D-rings have been removed from the hilts, and are replaced with the prequel covertech clips. It is my guess that Obi Wan had dismantled the sabers and removed the clips so they wouldn't have to be recharged, then later added the D-rings.

	It was never explained how the lightsaber clips were replaced with D-rings

	Why would the sabers not have to be recharged if they removed the clip and replaced it with a D-ring? -----signature----- BSG Costume Group. Join the Fleet! http://www.colonialfleet.org REMOVE EV FROM POWAR PETITION http://www.petitiononline.com/nmev j00 bastards. it worked. Go frak yourself.

	It could be that in the GFFA, Jedi were the only ones who manufactured covertech clips, and in order for Anakin's lightsaber to be "compatible" with modern tech, Obi-Wan had to switch over to D-rings. -----signature----- aka master_jedi21 aka darth_Boba
