Presuming that the skill icons aren’t different graphics from individual builds, we might actually be looking at evidence that it’s in place right now (what with the whole “change cards” thing being there) – and as such, it could also apply to lightsabers. So that would explain the big inconsistency here.Įven presuming that this isn’t some glitch of an early version of the game, there’s another, more important element inherent to Battlefront II‘s gameplay that makes me think that this has no impact on the actual story of Star Wars whatsoever: unit customization, which will also apply to heroes this time around. The game being presented here isn’t the one that’s going to hit the shelves in November, and there are still bugs that need to be ironed out and assets that might be misplaced. Now, before you go on about claiming how this obviously confirms that she’s a Kenobi or a Skywalker or whatever, I’d like to direct you to two important words in that first picture – “PRE-ALPHA-BUILD”.

We can likely rule out it being Luke’s second lightsaber, since it’s blue and not green, but that still leaves the possibility of it being Obi-Wan’s lightsaber – or possibly a new one that Rey herself has constructed – on the table. From the looks of things in this handy-dandy image chart below, we can see that the “before” image resembles Anakin’s second lightsaber (which is also Luke’s first, Finn’s, and Rey’s), while the second one looks like either Obi-Wan Kenobi’s second lightsaber or Luke’s second:


Let’s start off with the actual pictures themselves that outright show the two lightsabers (as observed by BrandonTheComicMan of r/ StarWarsLeaks) – or rather, lightsaber icons:Īside from the obvious differences in Rey’s costumes, two different lightsabers can be seen as weapons icons.

Here’s a quick explanation why you shouldn’t look too much into it. Recently, it came to light that the kickass footage we just saw in the Star Wars Battlefront II Assault on Theed stream featured shots of Rey with two different lightsabers, leading to loads of speculation that she’ll be making a new weapon of her own in The Last Jedi.
