Gotta go with Luke ESB. It was always my favourite growing up. Close second is Luke ROTJ.

It's actually an incorrect image as it shows the Luke ANH with the grips of the Luke ESB. You can see the rivets in the grips, which should not be there. That's why I used a different image in this poll. But, the funny thing is that this picture shows exactly the elements of both versions of this saber that I prefer... the single blade adjuster knob, the bubble strip, and the rivited grips. This would be my ideal Luke Skywalker Graflex lightsaber.
That would be the perfect combo for me as well, except I liked the computer chip better than the bubble strip. ;)


I kinda thought about that too... I could go either way as far as the bubble strip vs the calculator board.

I used to like the Luke ESB the best. Maybe because it was right out there to see. Same with the Luke ROTJ.

However, the close I look and the more I learn, I appreciate the Obi-Wan the most. (currently)

Obi ANH!! That's my vote and i'm sticking with it!  :D

I remember being amazed by the second lightsaber used onscreen wielded by a Jedi Master!

This, of course after waiting in line for hours to see the movie.

Gotta go with the only green saber in the OT, and the one with the coolest sounds!

I'm kinda tempted to go with that, but I can't help but remember how those grips would cut my fingers when I'd swing my Luke ROTJ FFX.  :o

My vote goes for Luke ANH, though since it's similar to the ESB I could call it a tie. Owning a graflex sure makes you fall in love with this hilt. Luke ROTJ is very nice too.

Technically Vader's saber was the first one on the screen, but it wasn't ignited.  :P

Yes but if you are an old-timer who saw the OT first and ANH in 1977 then even though technically you saw Vaders saber first you didn't recognize it as a lightsaber because you hadn't ever heard the word in your life yet, nor did you have any idea what it was functionally by looking at it...it could have been any kind of gadget...in fact the angled MPP shroud and the fact it was carried emiiter up  made it look kinda like the angled hood on the video screen on the "Comm-Lock" on the Space:1999 TV show in 1975-76 so if I even noticed it I probably thought it was a communication device...the Luke ANH was the first one we saw where its function was actually apparent...even if Luke didn't actually cut anything.

To LOVE, PURE AND CHASTE, FROM AFAR [-sigh-]. To TRY, when your arms are too weary; to REACH the unreachable Star!...

Every time I see  R2 launch Luke's saber into the air , catch it, and fire it up for the first time I get goose bumps...every time  ;D

Luke's ANH is a close second, but just because it was the first saber I ever saw.

Alright, well I finally voted for the Luke ANH. It was tough going between that, the Luke ESB, and the Vader ESB (which I love). Ultimately though I have a bit of a soft spot for the Luke ANH for a couple different reasons. I'd still prefer the Luke ANH to have the rivets in the grips like the Luke ESB, but beyond that I still prefer it slightly over the other OT sabers.
