    The toys for Luke's green saber have been out since Force Friday 2015, and there was that behind the scenes photo of the Skywalker saber, Kylo Ren's saber and Luke's ROTJ saber all sitting on a table during production of TFA. That tells me that, at one point, the saber would have appeared on screen, even if it was only on Luke's belt, or perhaps in the flashback.

    Either way, go to a toy aisle right now, and you will find the ROTJ saber for sale in all formats, and I don't think that's a coincidence.

    Some people have been hinting that the scenes where Luke brandishes his lightsaber didn't look right so they reshot said scenes without it. I personally hope we do see it once or twice. Love his hero ROTJ saber and it looks good with the different emitter in that TFA behind the scenes screen cap.

    I think there's a good chance he'll grab the saber from Rey, hurl it into the ocean and snarl "Hope you can swim good" as he stomps past her.

    IMO if we go thru all of TLJ and don't see Luke even at least ignite his lightsaber the whole time, I will see that as probably the biggest missed opportunity in SW. But I guess with him having such an important role, I'd be surprised if the producers/Rian would not have been well aware of that fact.

    Unless we see it in Episode IX, which is a whole nother topic...

    I'd fire the director before I would let that happen. If you can't shoot a scene of Luke Skywalker using a lightsaber, perhaps directing action films just isn't for you ...

    I thought the three smileys might have indicated that I was kidding. Did I need a fourth?

    I had always thought that Luke's green saber was partially handed down to him from Obi Wan. That is was originally Qui Gonna Jinns saber.

    Luke built it partially out of parts he found at Obi's place on Tatooine so you're kind of right. It had nothing to do with Qui-Gon's though. Not to the best of my knowledge anyway.

    I liked the head canon/fan theory that Luke at least used the green crystal from Jinn's saber but built the rest himself. It is of note that the ROTJ saber looks so similar to Kenobi's, as seen in my avatar. :)

    Is this Luke's saber in Kylo's left hand?

    If so then maybe Luke doesn't have his green saber in TLJ.

    I might be wrong but I think we went through this a couple of years back on here and after much discussion and staring too long at blue ray footage most agreed that it was just his glove.

    When will more toys (for example the green lightsaber, assuming it's in this movie) be released? I just feel like there really hasn't been much released yet...I mean yeah, lots of stuff, but nothing that reveals any unknowns about the movie. I don't follow toy releases so I'm not familiar with this.

    Probably because they don’t want to reveal those unknowns about the movie...

    I thought that was in the trailer, but the scene in the film itself was cut so you couldn't see it, almost as if RJ had by that point finished the script and needed Luke to have it.

    If there's just one piece of fan service in the film, then I hope the green sabre is it.
