    Hey All,

    I am sure I may of heard a partial answer to this somewhere before, but can't think where. At the end of EpII both Anakin & Obi-Wan are thrown lightsabers when the Republic arrive. My question is are these just spares? I would assume Anakins is since he broke his in the droid factory but did someone liberate Obi-Wan's for him?

    Thanks In Advance

    No. First of all, when, how, and why, would they track down wherecer they had put the man's lightsaber, take it, and then go into battle.

    Second, you can see that it is a different one.

    Slimy!

    I always thought they were taken from Jedi who fell in the arena.

    Yeah, they were spares. How could they be taken from dead Jedi within the first few minutes of the battle?

    those they get thrown look different, those they fight with later against Dooku look like their former sabers and not those they got thrown.

    Now how do we solve this? Another saberchange? Built one in the midst of fighting/flying? lol these two are the Jedi who had more lightsabers than master yoda had apprentices. and a lightsaber should last a Jedis life, rofl.

    My guess was that the Jedi brought extras just in case.

    My question is, does the lightsaber that Anakin uses in Ep3 match the one Luke is given in A New Hope?

    I have this theory that after anakin broke his saber in the factory he kept it in his pocket and later rebuilt the rest of it to=....tada, his ROTS saber! I postulated this after I noticed that his AOTC saber looks almost, but not exactly like the ANH saber given to luke by ben (the projector plate is cut at a clean angle as supposed to looking cobbled together and with dials). Obi's saber, on the other hand, seems to have been entirely rebuilt to the exact same specs at least twice: first after TPM and then again after AOTC. If memory serves, he waited a while before rebuilding it after TPM as he is still using Qui-Gon's green saber in Rogue Planet.
