Since I started out liking the films, I have a different perspective. But that's discussed at length already.Honestly, the only representation that lightsaber made in the ST was not to honor the Skywalker legacy but the exact opposite. Let's see...
1. it calls out to Rey? huh?
2. she brings it to Luke who then throws it over his shoulder. huh?
3. Rey ignites it over Luke...yeah,ok...whatever Rey, you're so righteous.
4. Rey and Kylo fight over it and divide it(just like the fanbase) Great Job!!!
5. Kylo completely forgets it's broken as Luke force projects himself with it intact in his hand and apparently is too stupid to realize it.
6.Our beloved Hero Rey fixes it all by learning "Force Band-aid" to unite the two halves together again...sorry but the damage has been done and to top it all off...
7. She buries it along side a lightsaber that literally has no significance at all, in the sands of Tatooinne ( Thanks for completely solidifying the fact that they know absolutely zero about Star Wars)
So, here is what it literally did...went into the wrong hands, tossed over the shoulder by the rightful owner, back into the wrong hands, misused, broken, forgotten about, patched up superficially and finally, buried. (Holy Smokes...They prophesied of the whole ST's demise with that lightsaber...that was genius!)
The fact they didn't have a herd of Banthas line up and just excrete refuse all over it, is astonishing....lol
I think this completely validates the point that it never should have been brought up again...like Psab keel stated, it only made it less special.
Ok, i won't beat a dead horse but come on...ok, it's out of me,lol... don't take it personally Joek3rr
, i know we all have different ways of viewing things. Olive Branches..lol
But yeah, the lightsaber calling to her... That's stupid. The Force calling her to the lightsaber, that makes more sense.
And when it comes to her burying the sabers. I flip flop. I mean I get it's supposed symbolize the Skywalker family being laid to rest with Shmi and all. But It would have better maybe if Rey had unearthed Shmi's headstone and then buried them. As a sort of reminder of 'hey Luke and Leia are being laid to rest with Grandma Skywalker.'
But at the same time. This Tatooine, which Anakin and Luke we're trying to get away from. And hated. But maybe they grew beyond that hate? I putting more thought into this than JJ did.
