I used to have this Obi wan micro machine guy who absolutely had an Amber saber but it was probably originally white and just yellowed with age

On the old (1977) Kenner figure, Luke's saber was yellow, so maybe Rey's is a callback to that? Note that the saber is actually *part* of Luke's hand, so there's kind of a Cronenberg thing going onpic.twitter.com/6vgqkBWTrz

I just don't get why she doesn't reforge the Skywalker saber, if she had to do that, with her preferred color. It's both established new-canon of a high level and common sense that if you rebuild a saber you make the crystal the color you want

The whole burying thing makes no sense either. Eventually some Jawas with metal detectors are going to find them eventually. Kinda feel like TRoS should end on Naboo, anyway.

I guess they were going with "all the trilogies end with twin suns," as if that was true of any trilogy other than the prequels prior to this

But yes, would have loved to see Rey go to Naboo. Find Jar Jar the clown, and say she has to apologize to him on behalf of her family for making him start the Empire, and then they hug and he impales her with his saber, taking revenge at last

Well, Rey probably has living relatives on Naboo. I always sort of assumed that all of the political families were intermarried anyway. Sad that Luke and Leia never got to hang out w/their Naberrie-Amidala cousins

New Alderaan really should've been a local in Trilogy 2

I always headcanoned Naboo as the secret Sith homeworld. So quiet and peaceful, civilized... basically Renaissance Italy after the Borgias.

I think for Lucas it's pretty clear that Naboo = California. And Palpatine was based on Nixon, who came from CA.

If you imagine Jedi as a peaceful hippie sounding weird minority religion who somehow have amassed tremendous amounts of power and influence, they're a pretty good analogue for Quakers And Richard Nixon is seriously called by many "the Dark Side Quaker"
