Anakin / Luke / Rey lightsaber mystery SOLVED

#theriseofskywalker #starwars #lightsaber
Whose lightsaber is this? I’ve asked almost 10,000 people this question and you know what I’ve learned? Everyone thinks something different, and for different reasons. Is this Rey’s lightsaber because she’s the one who currently has it? Is it Anakin’s lightsaber because he made it? They’re a lot of ways of looking at this, but in this video, we’re going to answer this question using the only unbiased source of truth available to us. The law.

- PLOT TWIST - In TROS, Rey hands this lightsaber to Leia (after having trained with it for a bit) and says "I'll earn your brother's saber one day". A couple of complications from this. 1) Rey 'gives it back' to Leia. So Rey doesn't own it. Leia does? 2) Rey refers to it as "YOUR BROTHER'S" saber. 3) My brain hurts.

What about Kylo Ren he's connected to the Skywalkers?

[@barrinst.sauveur702]

Wait in Jedi challenges you can change the color of Leia's lightsaber to green/purple BUT the original color is Blue so once you beat kylo Ren in Jedi challenges it's a whole new lightsaber and it's yours, yeah it may be the hilt the hilt doesn't matter it's the kyber Krystal and when you change the color you switch out the Chrystal so in conclusion Reas Saber is YOURS ONCE YOU CHANGE THE COLOR IN JEDI CHALLENGES MIND BLOWN!!

Once TROS is out to the public and not just in theaters, please do a mini-sequel if anything changes in TROS

[@JoshFromBeyond]

StarWars IRL Also at the end of TROS, she buries the saber as well as Leia's personal saber and dawns a new yellow saber which would now be considered hers since she most likely constructed it herself. As such, Since Luke only trained with that saber and built his own and Obi-Wan only ever held onto it, and now that Rey has her personal saber I say the ownership reverts back to Anakin since no one is currently using it and he built it.

It's Anakin's lightsaber. He made it, and Obi-wan took it from him after defeating him in combat. Palpatine dubbed him "Darth Vader," after saving his life. Most, if not all, Sith Lords assumed a new name when they embraced the Dark Side, but Anakin remained despite what he (Vader) called himself. Luke made his own lightsaber as part of becoming a Jedi Knight. Rey Palpatine made her own weapon, even though Disney Star Wars (legal) is not canon.

[@pickleo2756]

It was anakins then it was lukes then it was reys. It helped guide luke and rey in their journeys but Rey Skywalker made her own in the end just like luke did. The only difference she didnt lose the saber, she gave it up willingly to bury the Skywalker saber and dawn a new one.

This shouldn’t be a question, it’s Anakin’s lightsaber…even LucasFilm acknowledge this when they have Rey bury it and build her own. That lightsaber was never Rey’s, a case for Luke can be made but it still doesn’t ring true because ANH (the first Star Wars movie ever) literally refers to it as “your fathers lightsaber” it’s Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber. Rey saying *“I’ll earn your brother saber one day”* doesn’t mean it’s Luke’s, it just means she doesn’t know the full story of the lightsaber in question. Luke would never himself call that lightsaber his own, he would 100% refer to it as his fathers lightsaber…the one he himself construct is his lightsaber.

[@BagelLumbagoxxx]

How was the Rise of Skywalker?

[@ChaseWelch-289]

Actually Rey buries the lightsaber in the sand and it sunk in it. Therefore it became the whole skywalkers family lightsaber because we see Luke and Leila as force ghosts in there and it only makes sense that Anakin is now the owner as well because that was his new home when he came back to help his mom. So actually it is the whole Skylar family lightsaber now. It this is my theory, it is still Anakins lightsaber because he is technically not dead because he learned the path to immortality and he is still living in with the force. So according to legal terms, he never actually intended to gift it to anyone meaning that it is still anakins.

Wrong, your argument is flawed because you’re using children as an example for a discussion about PROPERTY. There’s a difference between a child and a lightsaber. You can’t use that as a comparison as the laws surrounding both are vastly different. Which is what this guy is using, the law in real life.

Legally Anikan Skywalker is not dead until the end of episode 6. Changing your name isn't a legal death. Meaning Obi-wan STOLE Anikan's lightsaber and then gave it to Luke. At this point in time it is still Darth Vader's property until it is salvaged and the appropriate amount of time has passed for legal transfer of unclaimed property. Make those corrections and then take into account known laws of the old republic, the empire, and the new republic and you will have a complete record of ownership.

[@AverageNerdGuy]

Figured I'd chip in my 2 cents (not saying its the right answer just what I go by). A youngling has to complete their first lightsaber before becoming a full Jedi. As we know (From Clone Wars which is cannon) to select their Crystal the younglings must enter a crystal cave on the planet of Ilum and the crystal will call to them, then they must overcome their biggest weakness to retrieve their crystal and leave the cave. Taking this into consideration, WHO would have retrieved the crystal embedded in the saber in question.......It would be Anakin. Anakin overcame the trial of the crystal cave, exited with his crystal and therefore constructed the saber using his earned crystal. Now is it true that Rey and Luke "Possessed" the saber at some point yes. But as we see, they also constructed their own sabers which we can assume were done so after retrieving their own Crystals, overcoming their own obstacles, and completing their first builds. So here is how I conclude; Luke and Rey were "younglings" or "Padawans" at most (using Jedi terms of rank) while using Anakin's Saber, and during that time they learned, trained, and used it but given the owner of the CRYSTAL that powered it has a connection with Anakin, it is Anakin's saber who was the only true JEDI to use it. You can let your son or daughter drive your car while they are learning but if you own the TITLE to the car, they may use/possess the car at times, but until they own the title it is yours. Saber = Car, Crystal = Title. Thats all I got.

[@jish55]

The issue with this is that we have to take star wars lore into consideration, which means that the lightsaber, no matter who has it, still belongs to the being who imbued it with the force. Just because a person uses it doesn't mean it belongs to them since we've seen in multiple stories that a person who takes a lightsaber from, say, a sith tomb, could be possessed by the sith spirit since the lightsaber is imbued with apart of the spirit. Its why Luke's lightsaber was never Anakins, it was the green lightsaber he himself built, and I'd like to point out something else, a very important detail that people tend to ignore where even in the OT, it was considered Anakin's lightsaber, and that's when Obi Wan gave the lightsaber to Luke, where he said "This is your fathers ligthsaber." Right there, it shows that, even though Kinobe had possession of it, he still considered it Anakins since that's the ideology of the Jedi. So because of these, I have to say it has always been and will always be Anakins lightsaber, and that, until Rey builds her own, she technically doesn't have an actual lightsaber of her own.

Geoff Roach said what I was going to say but said it to a more refined degree, I completely agree.

[@Oakaidden]

If we take the force into this it would be Rey's lightsaber in Force Awakens due to it calling to her and rejecting Ben but in The Last Jedi it is in limbo between Ben and Rey suggesting that they both have equal claim to it which works rather well considering Anakin was the chosen one and Rey and Ben represent the light and dark respectively

[@matthewwhite8484]

[@btll4ever]

This made me think that if Anakin bonded with that Kyber crystal, it may have Dark Side energies in it as Anakin did. So can they then be transferred over to someone else? Is this why the goodhearted Luke eventually entertains the thought of killing Ben. Is this why Rey struggles to balance the Force in herself. Can an object of such import physically alter its possessor so much that one would lock it away for years (as Obi-Wan and Maz did). Just something to think about.

[@lordcroussette]

Yeah the video does not really make sense on that point. If I buy a car and 3 years later I decide to give myself a cool new nickname, does that mean that I stole my own car? No, its still mine. The mistake in the video is to assume that Darth Vader and Anakin are 2 different persons. What explanation would have made sense is that Anakin was pronounced dead not long after he fully became Darth Vader (with his armor) so that Vader's real identity would stay hidden. Therefore now we could say that it became's Luke legitimate property. Anyway in the time of the Empire Lightsabers were illegal so I guess its property of the Empire lmao.

[@reid2362]

that is almost true, but if palpatine made anakin’s mother pregnant, then technically rey is a descendant of anakin which makes it legal. Every ownership between rey and anakin was illegal

Also, based on law, it would not be Rey's lightsaber. He must have forgotten that in episode 6, We see Anakin come back to his senses and "kill" the emperor. With that, we see that Anakin was never really dead, therefore, Obi Wan stole it on Mustufar, giving his act as guardian until Luke came of age no legal justification. Therefore, It was never Luke's, and never "lost" by its owner, leaving it to still be the possession of Anakin Skywalker.

[@ResolvedMC]

Actually, you're wrong. Anakin was a Jedi, which meant living a celibate life,no wife and no children. And since the Jedi Order worked as an important part of the Republic, legally his wife and children weren't allowed to own the lightsaber, because at the eyes of the law, their marriage doesn't exist.

[@Fyrosaurus]

this is the best description.

[@codgod106]

Ok you just blew my mind

[@tylerbarbaro7656]

Actually the republic and the Jedi order were different entities, this is why order 66 could have happened. Neither side owned the other. Also Jedi didn’t have to be celibate. And in a sense this is a similar law about how being a sith wasn’t illegal. Under the republics rule, which I believe all Jedi were citizens of the republic, it is of course legal to have children and be married. Under the Jedi’s rule, u cannot. When Anakin fought Obi-Wan he was no longer Anakin, he was Darth Vader, therefore as the video states, he is not in ownership of the lightsaber.

[@tylerbarbaro7656]

He also was no longer a Jedi, but a citizen of the republic, but still, Anakin was murdered by Vader, and Vader can attest to that

[@candyh4284]

I'd argue the same effect happens though but through everyone's favorite moisture farmer, Uncle Lars. Think about it - he's the last legal relative surviving Anakin so HE gets the lightsaber and, knowing who Obi Wan is, allows him to be the guardian of the saber until Luke comes of age, legally. Luke then comes of age, etc etc etc.

What I want to know is if someone lost a stolen object, and it was found by a third party, is it still the original owner's responsibility to collect it within 3 months?
