Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi challenges the legacy of the Jedi. Rey seeks answers from Luke Skywalker, while her connection to Kylo Ren is getting stronger. The blue Skywalker lightsaber literally stands between their visions of the future. Here you can read what lightsabers appear in the film, what role the Jedi and dark opponents play and how to link those stories to the right KenJo Sabers designs.
Short summary of The Last Jedi
The Resistance tries to escape the First Order while Rey visits Luke on Ahch-To and asks him to return. Luke lives in seclusion after his failure in training Ben Solo. Rey wants to understand what the Force asks of her and simultaneously seeks an opportunity to reach Kylo Ren. Their encounter with Supreme Leader Snoke changes the relationship of power within the First Order. Eventually, the battle comes together on Crait, where Luke takes on his responsibilities in an unexpected way.
What lightsabers are in The Last Jedi?
The blue Skywalker Lightsaber is the main Jedi weapon in the current storyline. Kylo wears his red crossguard lightsaber. In flashbacks, we also see Luke's green lightsaber. The blue sword that Luke appears to carry during his confrontation on Crait is part of his Force projection, not a new physical specimen that he has taken with him. That context is important when you base a collection on one particular scene.
Rey: the same lightsaber, another responsibility
Rey brings the old Skywalker weapon to Luke in the hope that he will resume his former role. If that doesn't happen, she has to decide for herself what the Jedi mean to her. She uses the blue lightsaber during the confrontation in Snoke's throne room. Then the weapon is pulled apart when Rey and Kylo both pull at it with the Force.
Compare for that historic Skywalker line Saga and the Anakin-inspired Saga Royal Edition. These are related interpretations, with product details that differ for each version. If you want to follow Rey's entire journey, you can also explore Honor, her later personal lightsaber design. Honor is not part of the blue weapon of the throne room fight.
Luke Skywalker: a Jedi without a classic last attack
Luke has lost his faith in himself and the Jedi tradition. Rey forces him to face his beliefs again. His decisive action ultimately does not consist of defeating an army with a physical lightsaber, but of winning time for others. It makes the scene on Crait different from the duels with which many fans associate him.
For the green design from his own Jedi years, Icon, inspired by Luke Skywalker, is an appropriate comparison. If you place that handle next to a blue Skywalker variant, you can show two periods of the same character. Identify the scene or stage of life you mean, because the two designs do not appear in the same way in this film.
Kylo Ren, Snoke and the Praetorian Guard
Kylo Ren stands for a choice between obedience to Snoke and his own pursuit of power. His red crossguard remains his recognizable weapon, but the throne room also shows that possession and use of a lightsaber can change. Rey and Kylo temporarily fight together against the guards, without having the same beliefs.
Crossguard and CrossGuard Weathered are the Kylo Ren-inspired models to view side by side. The Kylo Ren-helmet refers to his broader appearance. For the guards you find the Praetorian Guard-inspired helmet. Check the specific design variant with such a helmet; the product name on its own does not make several generations of guards the same.
Which Jedi and Sith are found in Episode VIII?
Luke is the experienced Jedi Master, Rey is a student searching for answers and Yoda appears as a spirit to bring Luke to insight. Kylo Ren and Snoke represent the dark side, but that description is not automatically the same as Sith. Also the Praetorian Guard is not a group of Sith: they are bodyguards with their own weapons and combat skills. That distinction makes the relations in the throne room much clearer.
Frequently Asked Questions about The Last Jedi
Is the blue Skywalker lightsaber destroyed?
The weapon breaks during the struggle for possession between Rey and Kylo. The parts are later restored; the story continues in The Rise of Skywalker.
Is Luke fighting on Crait with his green lightsaber?
No, his appearance carries a blue lightsaber, and the scene is a Force projection, so you don't have to interpret it as an ordinary physical return with another weapon.
What is a suitable combination for a throne room display?
Take a Skywalker-inspired handle, a Kylo Ren-crossguard and possibly an appropriate guard helmet. This will show the various participants in the scene without placing all red designs under the same Sith name.
