Luke Skywalker's green lightsaber is an important representation of his growth and ignoring it in the Star Wars sequel trilogy was an injustice.
Ignoring Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) iconic green lightsaber in the Star Wars sequel trilogy was an injustice as it is an important part of the character's story. In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Luke uses his father's old blue lightsaber during his training on Dagoba and in his fight with Darth Vader (James Earl Jones/ David Prowse). However, Luke loses both his hand and his father's lightsaber during the duel, necessitating a replacement. From this moment, Luke's green lightsaber takes center stage.

Sometime between the events of Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Luke constructed his own, now-iconic green lightsaber. Making its debut during the fight on Jabba's sail barge, the blade is symbolic of the Rebellion's triumph over the Empire and the climactic end of the original Star Wars trilogy. Not only that, but his new lightsaber is an important representation of Luke's character development, signifying his growth from naive farm boy to Jedi Master, with the green blade contrasting with the blue sky and beige sand of his home planet Tatooine. As such, for the sequel trilogy to have all but ignored such a significant weapon is both a mysterious omission and a major disservice.
