I have a question about TDPL, about Luke and Leia's Lightsabers. Because Luke doesn't have his green saber with him and as they came from only a year after Endor Leia never made one. So will the two go through The Gathering, either on or offscreen, and what colors will they get if you can answer that? I personally prefer Luke with his green saber as it is more his than the blue Skywalker saber. I love how you write TDPL as everyone feels in character and themselves, unlike the Sequels.
Confession: I hadnāt gotten to The Gathering when I started plotting TDPL. I had based my original light saber crystal ideas off of Jedi Apprentice and some fanon/eu stuff gathered from Wookiepedia.
Confession #2: Anything created post Clone Wars is of questionable canonicity to me, and I use or discard it at my own leisure.
Confession #3: Even in light of The Gathering, the idea that thereās only one crystalĀ āmeant forā a Jedi is suspect. See: Anakinās crushed lightsaber in AotC, Ahsokaās white lightsabers (ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ donāt knowĀ how I feel about that) in Rebels, and the fact that Iām sure lightsabers get lost/crushed/stolen often enough that even Obi-Wan went through a fewĀ āsaber redesigns, and... yeah. I do feel that there can be crystals that resonateĀ better with certain individuals, though.
Now that thatās been established (and bear with me, Iām half wrote this when jet-lagged and now itās after my first day back at work):
Prior to The Clone Wars, there was a fanon/eu idea that Lukeās crystal was either synthetic or (post PT), made by reusing Qui-Gonās saber crystal. I like this idea. I like it a lot. Especially since any other means of getting a crystal were lost to Luke by this point. Either the knowledge of the locations was lost entirely, or the empire had completely blocked access. He could notĀ get a crystal the traditional way and had to rely on the knowledge/gifts left behind by Obi-Wan.
So, if youāve noticed, in the TDPL Luke actually is already using Qui-Gonās crystal. Heās familiar with it, itās what he used before, and heās connected with it through the force. Especially with the history of the Darksaber and its prominence in the newer stuff, the idea of connecting through other Force users throughout history and resonating with their presence just appeals to me. So Luke, having already faced his fears and assembled his lightsaber, stays with the one heās familiar with. I might change my mind about this after I finally watchĀ āThe Gatheringā, but for now, Qui-Gonās green kyber crystal is Lukeās crystal. This will create opportunities for some fun stuff later down the line. (Force ghosts and Dooku anyone?)
Plus, I don't like theĀ āSkywalker Saberā thing going on through the Sequel trilogy. It was, like, Anakinās third or fourth saber. It just happens to be the last one he had before going dark side. And Force, it was used to kill a tonĀ of Jedi, especiallyĀ children. That kyber-crystal does not have good psychic imprints, and Luke hadĀ to be picking up on it by the time he lost it.
LeiaĀ on the other hand, has not faced her deepest fears. Has not had a crystal already. She will have to go to Ilum to get her own, whether through a gathering, or a special solo trip because needs-must has yet to be decided (see above for why). I doĀ have a color picked out, though. Ā Blue with a lavender tint, sleek silver handle that matches alderaanian jewelry. It matches very nicely with Lukeās without being a copy.
