I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not, but I tried searching to no avail.
It's been deduced to a reasonable amount of certainty that Vader's V2 hero saber wound up as the hero saber for ESB/ROTJ after a few modifications/repairs, but whatever happened to the V1? As far as I know, it's fate after post-production is unknown.
I'm thinking that the saber was parted out (possibly due to it's sad state after various repairs) and wound up as the barrel in Boba Fett's EE-3 for ESB. Maybe the clamp wound up on the Barbican saber (although the lever would have to have been repaired?).
I'm just spit-balling here. What do you think?
