I’m sorry, but that image is so retcon-stupid that it fits perfectly into the
NEW Star Wars Lore.
It was so much better that the loss of the saber represented the hubris of Luke’s crushing defeat in Empire. It was perfect that the saber was lost and presumed destroyed. Well, not if Disney has anything to say about it and it can be “Forced” into the new trilogy to try to bestow some sense of symbolism, gravitas, and destiny onto their new main character.

“
Follow the money, little lightsaber. Follow the money...
Uh, wait, I meant, follow YOUR DESTINY. You know? It makes sense, right? From a ‘certain point of view’ and all that stuff? Yes, follow your destiny....”
I assume that ornery old Obi-Wan took a page from
“Paddle To The Sea” and threw the saber hilt into the celestial depths with a note attached to it that read as follows:
“My name is ‘Rey’s Lightsaber’. If you have found me, please throw me back into the icy depths of space—unless you have eyes shaped like a digestive orifice and you own a bar or tavern. In that case, please put me in a box and leave me for a story to be told another time.”
