Luke taking Vader ’s red lightsaber , sublimate the kyber crystal within , and wielding the white lightsaber that was formerly his founder ’s would have been a beautiful level and the perfect symbolism .

This whimsey of purifying kyber crystals ( and even the kyber lechatelierite bleeding physical process ) was added toStar Warscanon long afterReturn of the Jedi . Nevertheless , as those outgrowth are now canonical in the enfranchisement , this would have been an unbelievable update to both Luke and Anakin ’s Jedi journeys . Truly , hadLuke Skywalkerwielded the purified kyber crystal / lightsaber of Darth Vader at the end ofReturn of the Jedi , it would have been incredibly emotional .
