STAR WARS | Every Shot with Luke Skywalker’s Green Lightsaber (1983-2020) 

I identify as a green light saber and I find this offensive

@@adrianyeager6463 lol

I want to see a Luke Skywalker show. Post Return of the Jedi is Luke in his prime.

Yeah, we gotta have a show about Luke’s journeys after ROTJ. Who else votes for that after The Mandalorian Season 3 comes out?

I mean you did put (1983-2020) so I think you're all good 🤷

Deep down he truly is, even if he has his fleeting moments of anger (like cutting off Vader’s hand and nearly killing him in ROTJ and fearfully igniting his saber in TLJ). He’s such a great character!

It’s so cool! 💚

I hope that for the new videogame (Lego Star Wars the Skywalker Saga) they add this sound

It really is the “nastiest” one. Means business

Yeah. Pwaiffff!!

Definitely the best.

Same here, maybe that’s why I love green so much!

@@mr.moviemafia This lightsaber is definitely the reason why green is my favorite color 🤣

Red is my favourite colour so mines is red. I like purple too

My 3 most favorite Lightsabers colors are Green, Purple and Orange

**chef’s kiss**

I like better the sound where he disignites it

@@yelnik1070 3:15 4:42

Agreed. His saber has a sound like the releasing of a blast of pent up energy whenever he engages it. It matches the character well. I actually searched for this video just for the SFX. Only wish they had designed the prop to look a little more interesting than a flashlight.

Yup.

Gotta agree, it's my favorite lightsaber color!

Green is Luke’s prime

The green on black outfit

@@mr.moviemafia greens just the best color in general

Yes! Blue is the best for Anakin and green is the best for Luke!

Head Canons are hard to get over

Actually the crystal turns green with the people who are strong with the force and blue with great warriors which can match or make up for the force by being extremely trained

@@XBlackMoonRisingX015 Agreed. Legends is canon to me because the lore makes more sense. The crystal in this case was a synthetic one. Hence why it sounds different when ignited. Have a listen to Vader's, and the sound similar. In the KOTOR games, the colours determined the type of Jedi: Guardians (warrior) had blue, Consulors (focus more on the Force) used green, and Sentinels (a balance of both) used yellow.

@@XBlackMoonRisingX015 In current Star Wars Canon lightsaber colors still don't mean anything and I have zero idea why you think they do.

Padawans were given lightsabers by the Order. If their training is complete, they can make their own lightsaber.

Love that too! 💚💙

It's green like Yoda's and the hilt is designed after Obi-Wan's, which was the only lightsaber hilt design that Luke had access to at the time, but it makes a lot of sense.

I get what you are saying, I just don't think a Jedi would go into battle with an untested weapon.

I remember that as well it was in shadows of the empire

Oooh love the description, I love that too!

Yes the sound effects were so much better in the original trilogy

A great way to describe it!!!

Right? The acrobatics and excessive twirling always aggravated me. The Jedi in my mind were more Samurai, less Wu-shu/Kung-fu...the whole point was that they had preternatural ability to anticipate their opponents' movements and already be in position to avoid or deflect attacks, with little apparent effort. Besides, the lightsabre is already so cool just shimmering and humming there, that it almost detracts from it's ominous aura to brandish the thing around..

Based on what George Lucas said back in 77, they should be heavy and carried with respect like there's pure energy or a gyroscope inside. Wiggling it around doesn't make much sense @@n.w.1803

@@n.w.1803totally agree

​@@n.w.1803you fail to understand in two of the prequel films (where all the twirling started) the Jedi were literally in war constantly so it isn't farfetched that they would cover more advanced sword techniques.

I thought it was powered by an artificial crystal, with Obi-Wan’s notebook having instructions on how to cook one. That’s why it took a whole year to build the second lightsaber, because the crystal took so long to prepare.

Both of these stories have merit but I’m not quite sure which is considered canon 😅

@@mr.moviemafia We will soon see in the new mainline comics

I always thought it would've been much cooler if Obi-Wan had inherited his master's lightsaber for the second episode. Instead, he seems to be using the same one he had in #1, despite apparently dropping down one of Star Wars' many bottomless shafts. Then he gets the definitive one that apparently carries him through episode III and on into old age..but when exactly did he lose his first one (again)? Or even better, maybe they should've filmed episode I with Liam Neeson using the same green lightsaber that Luke has in Return of the Jedi, as though Kenobi had simply kept it intact all those years, for Luke to inherit at time of need..? That might've made the otherwise rather unnecessary Qui-Gon character rather more contributory to the story as a whole. Also, it could explain the physical resemblance between Luke's and Obi-Wan's weapons a bit differently, if Obi-Wan had built his definitive sword according to his master's design..

Luke’s crystal in Legends was synthetic so it wasn’t Qui-Gon’s and I don’t think it’s the case for canon either. Though, that is something I wish was true.

Same! I’ve always found it so cool

It be meesa favorite, too!

Same here

I like it as the v2 and the v3 The hero prop has always seemed too"clean and modern" to me tbh

As much as I love both TLJ and TROS, and I like the Luke and Ben Solo stuff, I REALLY wish we got more of Luke’s green lightsaber!

@@mr.moviemafia I wish I could love TLJ, but I fucking hate it lmao.

@@mr.moviemafia TLK STINKS!!! And so does TROS although to a lesser extent.

Instead of Leia having a lightsaber, Rey should’ve used both Anakin’s and Luke’s green saber

@@JeroldBoy0407 No Leia would've built her own lightsaber, she did undergo jedi training after all.

Absolutely awesome analysis! 💚

No its a symbol of a lightsaber

​@@Ahzuvwtf do you mean "no" this is established shit since kotor lol

Green has ALWAYS been my favorite lightsaber color and I love the design too!

@@mr.moviemafia same ! It is so beautiful !

He’d be so proud!

Damn iiiiit, you’re right 😅

I feel the same way. Blue is my favorite color and Obi-Wan has always been my favorite character, but there’s something super cool about Luke’s lightsaber. Since I started maining him in Star Wars: Battlefront II, I almost changed my stance on wanting a green lightsaber. Now I realize that I would want a blue one, but I would definitely want Luke’s black robes because I’m a sucker for black clothing.

@@Gingermaas Dude, black robes>>>>

It totally is! I rewatch that whole moment any time it comes on!

I feel like it’s because they know how much we like it.

I was happy just to see it at all, but I definitely wish there was more of it 🥲 At least it got some spotlight in “The Mandalorian”

@@mr.moviemafia and Star Wars Rebels and other canon comics.

It’s because we want it. And Disney doesn’t do what fans want... they do what fans SEVERELY don’t want.

Seriously, Disney!! GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT!!!

:’)

Explain

@@anonymousgaslighter345 in the sarlacc scene in return of the Jedi George Lucas made the lightsaber green because if it was blue it would be the same colour of the background/sky

@@anonymousgaslighter345 Initially the lightsabers were only going to be red and blue. But on the planet of Tatooine, the sky is cloudless blue, and it’s a complete desert, the lightsaber would’ve been impossible to see. But to better see the lightsaber, the colour was changed to green. In the old trailers of ROTJ the lightsaber was initially blue.

@@kgunitkeese17 Aye it would be much easier to do these days with the technology but back then it was just easier to change the colour and move onwards and upwards

It was SOOOO cool to see that!!! I remember how shocked I was during that finale

I can’t disagree 💚

Totally fair, there’s definitely some awe-inspiring effects in ROTJ! Empire beats it out a tiny bit for me since there’s a couple times when the green screen in Jedi is a bit noticeable, but I agree about the lightsabers and blasters for sure!

Your English sounds flawless!! I love Luke too, every part of his journey is interesting to me and I think he’s a great character! :D

@@mr.moviemafia ty :)

"No..yellow! Ah-AAAAAHhhGRaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh!!!"

I knooow I love that too 😂

Totally agree, one of the coolest looks in SW!

No convincing needed, I agree!!

In The Mandalorian? They actually used a stand-in for the fighting, but had Mark Hamill on set and they technologically de-aged his face and voice!

Definitely up there for me too!

I love that too ! Even though Luke’s green saber looks an awful lot more like Kenobi’s 😂

Ikr? If he’s not careful he might lose a hand 👀

@@mr.moviemafia thats the equivalent of shooting your eye out with a bb gun

Easily one of the best for sure!

Honestly, maybe me too!

It feels super heavy, like the weight of the Galaxy is behind each sword stroke 🥲

I knooow, it’s a cute detail!

Well I suppose it was the 1980's so we can cut them a little slack. 🤣 Good eye tho.

Can’t disagree!!

No time for dilly dallying 😂

Why thank you, Gio!

That was a tech limitation though.

Thank you so much!!! I’m glad you enjoyed it, this was fun to edit together! 😁

Truly satisfying, especially when you first watch ROTJ and see him whip it out for the first time in the barge

I know what you mean. It's partly the digital effects oversimplifying their optical appearance on camera, I think, partly the sound effects, explosive squibs & sparks and other things that give them the appearance of real formidable presence, and maybe mostly in how they're used. Perhaps I should say, overused. The effect is diminished in the prequel episodes. Fortunately, Vader's scene in 'Rogue One,' and Luke's triumphant return in 'Mandalorian' have shown that we can still have our proper Jedi weapons when the right hands are behind the camera..

What you mean "not digital"? You think they use real light sabers on set during the OT?

@@n.w.1803 what you mean diminished? Are you kidding me? In the prequels you see actual droids getting sliced and diced. (Like Luke's triumphant return in Mandalorian). Do you see that in ROTJ when he has using it at the Sand Dunes?

@@AndrewBoniface09 It's hard to pin down what I mean, I'll admit. The weapons just seemed to have more..presence?..in the original films. Maybe it's the practical vs. CG effects ('Empire' director Kershner famously called for 'more sparks' alot). Or just the casual, twirly way the actors handle the things. And, particularly in episodes II & III, they just look bad on screen. Flat and lifeless, like a third-rate photoshop job, without any sense that there's a glowing light beam flickering there in real life. I guess what I mean is that the movies seemed to have lost what always made Star Wars great; that sense that all this stuff was, or could, really happen, and that the lightsabres and blasters and ships could be something that you'd hold and climb around in, in the real world. But yes, The Mandalorian, and also Rogue One, went a good way in restoring that ethereal movie magic..

That’s the good stuff 🤩

I didn’t miss that, it’s at 1:21. It’s one of my favorite moments with the lightsaber too!

@@mr.moviemafia yeahh probably i miss because you edit and it was more short than the original all the scene. Yeah when i was kid i love watch and watch this scene on vhs :)

Aww poor blue lightsabers, they deserve love too 😂

Blue is common for Jedi who are courageous and brave. Green are those who use wisdom and self-disciplined

Blue lightsabers are overused

@@haydo-9916 that’s in legends and other sources of material that are no longer canon.

1000% agree!

Definitely a great one!

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed!!! While I LOVE that scene, he projects his father’s classic BLUE lightsaber during that moment 💙

“Do you think you got him?”

HECK YEAH!

Thanks!!!

Love them as a trio!

It IS a cool lightsaber 🤣

💚Totally💚

Not bad choices!

How is that an unpopular opinion?

@@armandomendoza7371 because those are my top three where as majority of people would say the coolest scenes are scenes like aotc geonosis arena or darth maul vs qui gon and Obi wan where as in my opinion I said more of the shorter scenes that include lightsabers instead of the big main battles

@Celerus Oakshield ngl that battle was trash

I think the final duel should be up there as well but pretty good list ngl

Favorite color for a reason!!!

So cool to see in used in action like that!!!

Aww that’s just Mark Hamill’s face 😭

Oooh that’s awesome!!

Me too, I wouldn’t think of excluding it!

Lol not many people involve deleted Star Wars scenes in compilation videos. Keep up the good work, bro.

Yes he does! I made this video back in December, 2020 right after Mandalorian Season 2 finished, so TBOBF wasn’t out yet 💚

Mine too! 💚💚💚

Hope we get to see them someday!

Oooooh that would’ve been a super cool idea!!!

Love this fact so much, and that it led to so many cool things for SW!

Big fan of all the scenes in this video! :D
