I never understood the fascination with the RotJ Luke lightsaber. It's the lamest looking one in the entire Original Trilogy, imo. The one Ben gives Luke in the first movie is a million times cooler. Of course, everything in that movie is a million times cooler than RotJ anyway.

Do you mean the fascination with the FX version of just the Saber hilt in general?

The hilt in general. Luke had a cool lightsaber in New Hope and Empire. Then he dropped it like a dumbass and the one he built to replace it looked like shit.

I did. The Return of the Jedi saber resembles Obi Wan's in A New Hope. Personally, I like Mace Windu's in Revenge of the Sith.

That I understand then.
I don't think the hilt design itself was/is such a big deal with fans (however, check out the Elite Edition the MR did, that thing is fuckin ballin....for a nerd item), it was the fact that pieces like MR's LE hilt, thier original FX saber were released in smaller runs at times when they sold out quickly and mania insued amongst dorks round the globe.
It's a cool design....but it does kinda look like a blinged out vibrator.

I think it's just a matter of having seen each movie at least one time and not being in a persistent vegetative state.
Cool original lightsaber:
Lame replacement saber:
It's not difficult, stage. They are pretty different.

Okay, nes. So if you didn't BUILD YOUR CAR YOURSELF FROM PARTS, it's not "yours"? Interesting philosophy.
Ownership is 9/10 of the law. It was given to Luke = it's Luke's.

I thought Palpatine's from Ep. 3 looked pretty cool.

They build up building your own lightsaber as part of your Jedi training, so sort of.

They go into some detail about that in "Shadows of the Empire", which is one of the only extended universe books I've read that I thought was good.

Not until... the third movie. Which was convenient. Yoda never mentioned it in Empire. Ben never said anything in New Hope, either. He just handed Luke his dad's lightsaber and said, "Here. You are good to go."
