Hell, in the original movies they end up subverting how important a lightsaber is - it's just a weapon and weapons just get you into trouble Luke's big moment in the ending is throwing his away

AotC pretty much established that light sabers were glorified Bic lighters. Anakin's saber was revealed to be not a weapon he'd crafted himself, but a spare a random extra tossed to him as a replacement.

Well he built another lightsaber in between 2 and 3. So technically the lightsaber Rey uses should be called "Anakin Skywalker's third lightsaber." Easy to miss since of his sabers only the red one looks substantially different

Was the replacement saber in II blue or green? I can never remember. But yeah, I get hung up on weird aesthetic details. Never liked the Weyland-Yutani logo from Aliens when the original one was way cooler.

Anakin only ever used blue and red sabers. The only characters to use green sabers in the films are Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Luke, and Obi-Wan only briefly when he picks up Qui-Gon's

And a bunch of random dudes in the Geonosis Arena. But they're unnamed extras.

I think those were mostly ILM guys. They don't really come off as trained martial artists. Geonosis fight always felt to me like some sorta Vegas thing where you wear robes & swing toy sabers at nothing and then they give you a DVD w/droids comped in to show the folks back home

Yes the Battle of Geonosis was just them telling all the random crew members they could be a Jedi if they wanted

George Lucas wanted to invite N Sync to be among them as a cameo to make his daughter happy and then canceled that plan because of the fan backlash

It's too bad, because today we could probably have an epic Clone Wars subplot about Jedi Master Timberlake

I imagine Timberlake would've been perfectly fine as Anakin. The fans would probably self-immolate in horror tho
