CLS/Anakin's Lightsaber and GK/Ben's Lightsaber

I just noticed that CLS and Anakin both are using completely different lightsabers. Shouldn't they be the same model since Old Ben gave Luke his father's (Anakin RotS) lightsaber?

After noticing that, I compared GK and Ben's lightsaber. They have the same model, but the color/crystal is a different shade. Shouldn't this also be the same?

Sorry for any spoilers or climatic reveals.

  • When I was a kid, a whiffle ball bat was my lightsaber. And the action figure of new hope Luke had a yellow light saber.
    Let's pretend it is what it is.

    Wow man, great feedback.
  • Had a close look at CLS and Ani's lightsabers and they look like they are the same model and color. I don't have GK unlocked, so can't evaluate the hues of GK vs OB lightsabers, but the models are also the same there.

    If you're evaluating the color of the lightsaber in a battle, take into account that other lighting affects can cause the lightsaber to look different depending on where in the scene they are standing.

    It seems like CLS hand location makes it look different, though if you look at the power cell heat fins and the shroud emitter, it appears to be the same hilt.

    GK and Old Ben have the same hilt, though the blade color is different, as GK has a distinctly lighter shade of blue that Old Ben. Old Ben has the same color blue as the other blue lightsabers in the game.
  • @Widget_gadget good points. I had to zoom in and clear the picture a bit. CLS/Anakin look more similar now. Thanks for the input.

    You're right. The hand location is throwing it off a bit. They look very similar now. Thanks.
  • GK has lighter blue to make him more special I guess, which is inaccurate to the movies and the show

    Commander Luke's saber should be that color because that's what color it was in the OT
  • Hats off to all of you investigating this! I feel outgeeked because I had not thought about this, and I mean that in a good way. It's definitely no deal breaker but if the devs take care of details like this then 100 bonus points to them.
  • Meanwhile Boba Fetts E-33 shoots nowhere close to how it ought to. Sound and burst is totally wrong.

    Conclusion is the art team is not very dedicated to authenticity.
