well its pretty logical to assume that they're vents and the light sabre does sound kind of ragged.
When palpatine fell down a well and vader croaked, the only real trained force user out there was luke, and if he decided not to train jedi, then there was nobody around to train people on making things like a saber.
If he found vader's mask, it shouldn't have been hard to find vader weapon and attempt to copy it or use components from it.
I do think its weird to have a broad sword weapon as a lightsaber, as kenobi described them as an elegant blade from an elegant time. A broadsword is not designed to be elegant, its designed to be swung hard repeatedly or jammed into the victims gut. Its one of the least elegant weapons out there.
Edit, it could also be that those vents are more for toy sales then anything else.

Vader's mask was brought to the Forest Moon, but his saber got cut off with his hand in the throne room. maybe Luke was like "oh crap this place is blowing up, better grab dad's symbol of darkness while dragging this heavy ass robot suit to the shuttle", but if he did that and Kylo found it, why not just use that one instead of creating a janky copy?
and I don't worry about how much more dangerous a lightsaber is with the hilt. the thing by default is already deadly to any non-Force user that would try to wield one in combat, so we just have to assume a Sith would already have the requisite dexterity to deal with a hilt. it's also a weightless blade so it doesn't matter if it's as big as a broadsword. Kylo could configure it to be the length of a pole vault and still swing it around as fast and elegantly as he wants.
Avatar Release Date: December 18, 2009
Star Wars Release Date: December 18, 2015
Seems pretty comparable if you ask me.
Very comparable. Which is why Nik is suggesting that Star Wars won't have a particularly large opening weekend and still go on to be the largest grossing film just like Avatar did.
Lucky to be Canadian: Netflix subscribers in the Great White North will be able to stream “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in 2016, the only territory where the company currently has secured#streaming rights for the film.
The reason Netflix will be able to offer the much-anticipated movie#in#Canada next year — and not in the U.S. or anywhere else#—#has to do with the#timing of when Disney’s pay-TV distribution deals were up for grabs.
Just watching the EP 1-3 edit. It's n interesting take, removing almost all of EP 1. So far I like it, but you are still stuck with the ham-fisted dialoug. Seriously, who wrote this stuff? I figure Hayden Christensen would have been about 10x more respected if he didn't have that ridiculous hair cut. Seriously, a rat tail?
Not looking forward to having to watch hat final battle again... maybe he edited that short too.
Just finished it. It's actually a really good fan edit. Tells the fall of Anakin into Vader in a fairly concise way, though still 2 hours 40 minutes. If you wanted to show someone this part of the story, but not suffer through 3 movies it's actually really good. The quality is somewhere between DVD and blu-ray though, so you have to leave your A/V snob at home for his one.
+Virtually no Jar Jar or Episode One
+Fairly tight story
+short compared to prequels, don't miss much important
+clone crap on water world totally gone
+no pod racing or kiddie Anakin
+good way to show non-superfans the rise of Vader
+ a lot of the gorgeous matt paintings are shown, still look great
-quality
-still has ham fisted writing
-some minor continuity due to removed content
-Anakin's rat-tail
-questionable scene choices early on, it gets better in hour 2.
+funny how the prequels look more dated than the originals, due to so much CGI looking phony now. A lot of it is just ugly. Sorry Yoda, you look more real as a puppet.
I can only imagine playing such a powerful role in the new movie, and not being able to tell your buddies... and to see that last clip of you with the saber standing up against what appears to be the big bad guy in the movie... must of been fun for him to have everyone see you like that

A recent law banning Communist symbols in the country meant that a Soviet-era statue of Vladimir Lenin in Odessa needed to come down. Instead, the city opted to transform it into a monument to one of pop culture's greatest villains: Darth Vader.
Despecialized Episodes IV & V are awesome. The best I've ever seen Star Wars.
It's crazy watching Episode II after Episode V Despecialized - as someone else said, it's incredible how well the 35-year-old non-CG effects have held up in contrast to how poorly the 10-year old CG has held up.

Well, when 90% of the shot's composition is CG, you're bound to notice the aging of it.
It was a fine cut, but I did not enjoy the content of this trilogy. It just wasn't very good in any way.
I also caved and watched the new trailer, which I was trying to avoid until the movie was released. It looks awesome! The style and characters look great from what I could see. I hope Luke comes in as either:
1) super overweight pilot
2) new Darth guy

I'm watching this now and it's frankly hilarious how much episode 2 looks like it's actually made for youtube, as an online fan-made backstory thing rather than a real movie. Just horrendous.
But this actually works, particularly if your watching order is A New Hope, Empire, Phantom Edit, ROTJ. If you had no knowledge of anything star wars related and came into the thing blind, you'd come out of Empire shocked at the Vader reveal, and then get his whole backstory. Also, since the Emperor isn't named in Empire, you also get to find out sort of organically who Palpatine is without knowing going in.
