star wars fans have seen Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber beforehe shows (in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith) and after the show (in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope), so it was up to the show’s props team to not just grab the Episode III saber or Episode IV saber. It had to be somewhere between.

To find a balance between the two, Elliott looked at the story and the character. “Kenobi comes from the loss of the war, the fall of the Jedi Order and the loss of his best friend and Padawan,” he said. “He carries the weight of his past, so his saber comes largely from that past.” This is why the handle in the show is closer to the handle of Episode IIIbut with an upgraded transmitter it looked more like the Episode IV saber.
