Luke And Leia's Lightsaber Fight Flashback In Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Got Trimmed - SlashFilm
A Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker deleted scene would've involved a lightsaber duel between young Luke and Leia.www.slashfilm.com
"This training session could've been a holonet mail..."Of course they had to trim the scene... They had to make room for the parts where Kylo and Rey start connecting over MS-teams.
Say what you will on the cinematic front (and I do think she's made some pretty big mistakes), but it sure seems like Kathleen Kennedy has made bank for LFL.Disney’s Huge Star Wars Profits Revealed

And personally, I love the focus on television, which seems to me to be a more natural fit for the kind of storytelling that I think works best for Star Wars (i.e., serial storytelling that allows for more development over time, and which can't just rely on whiz-bang f/x and rollercoaster sensibilities to carry the day the way a film can).
Yeah, that's because Mara is just a repack here.That Mara is wrong because she should be using Luke's ESB lightsaber in that book. She didn't get her own lightsaber until much later. Of course Luuke has it in that scene, so maybe that was on purpose.
Now you can have her take it from Luuke and kill him, over and over and over on your desk at home.That Mara is wrong because she should be using Luke's ESB lightsaber in that book.

I see that less as "Disney" and more as "JJ." His instincts, both with this franchise and with Trek, is to be all self-referential and "'memba this?!"I'm tired of the Anakin/ESB saber being retrieved in every SW canon.
The EU had sort of a rationale, with a maintenace worker on Cloud City finding it and Vader retrieving it. But the Disney canon seemed to ignore the issue.
If it fell out the bottom of Cloud City then forget it. It wouldn't be found. There might be some magical/conscious Force stuff going with living creatures but that saber is just a small piece of machinery. It's not going to call out to anybody.
I agree with you. If you just take the original dialogue of that saber, it becomes very clear the purpose.I'm tired of the Anakin/ESB saber being retrieved in every SW canon.

I agree, i only used that term for the sake of the readers and previous comments related to it. We know that Luke couldn't handle every detail of what happened being dropped on his shoulders at once. He was already sorting through the fact that what his Uncle Owen had told him was now contradicted by Obiwan. For the sake of argument, it was his father's lightsaber but no longer in his possession, it was destined to be Luke's for a short time to fulfil its' purpose and then be gone...Luke needed to construct his own. Obvious symbolism there. Notice in ESB when Vader sees Luke with "his" lightsaber he really never addressess it...obviously, that would give the most dramatic part away but besides this, it's not revealed until after he loses his arm/saber. Imagine if Vader said, "hey kid, that's my lightsaber"...lol. The "aura" of that lightsaber was really never a thing to begin with. Like i stated before, it was meant to serve a purpose and it did.I have to nitpick about the ANH/ESB saber being referred to as "Anakin's". He wanted Luke to have it, it was kept for Luke, it's Luke's and should always be Luke's. Don't even get me started on it being referred to as "Rey's" lightsaber now.
If Jedi are trained to not have attachments, wouldn't that make the saber just a tool with no emotional attachments? If you break or lose your saber, just make another who cares you have no attachments or emotional value in it.
