Really cool to see Hayden getting a great reception. I don't get why people gave him so much shit in the prequels, he did the best he could with the material he had.
 
Finished work here at the event! Now I'm just gonna walk around a bit and admire all the cool things that I can't afford.

Then I'll probably just go sleep. Gonna try and find cheap Disneyworld or Universal Studios tickets.

Man I really want to see the panels too!

This is from BF2, a first look at Luke's new lightsaber?

It's different to the ROTJ design it looks more like Obi Wan's lightsaber.

Luke's ROTJ lightsaber doesn't have the black grip at the base and the metal at the top part is a different colour.

The prop used for filming ROTJ was extremely worn/dirty and doesn't resemble at times the normal images found when one searches for Luke's lightsaber on google. I think it matches quite well:

There are a few versions of Luke's saber from Jedi. The one you just posted is known as the hero. Canonically the saber's official look but it actually had the same amount of screen time as the hero v2. The hero v2 was a saber recycled from the hilt used by Alec for the duel with Vader on the Death Star in the original Star Wars. The saber from the Battlefront II image you posted is definitely based on the hero v2.

There are like five versions of the Luke saber seen in Jedi. Those are both seen and are separate props.

These guys are going to come to blows with all this cutting each other off.

Actually it's more the one dude cutting off everyone else.
 
Yeah, the V2 version I posted was used the most I believe, it definitely seems like the one EA modelled after.

Yes. It's definitely the prop Mark carried and remembers as the prop. The hero prop and the reveal prop (from the deleted cave scene from the opening of the film) were built to make the saber look new and for close up camera work. Obviously made after production began and to match the hero v2 close enough. They filmed the Luke and Vader duel first and the hero v2 is used for everything in that sequence. It's even thrown by Vader at Luke as originally Vader had disarmed Luke. They kept the action beat but coloured the saber red. You can tell if you freeze frame.
