    Have you watched the full video to see the many different styles? Or are you just looking at the thumbnail of the video?


    I've watched the video in full but I don't think it clears Maxis' mistake. It would be better if you can tell us exactly which model of hilt and emitter that they used for their image.

    This is Rey's lightsaber:

    latest?cb=20200316231632

    I don't know why they couldn't just replicate this.

    From what I understand all the lightsabers in the pack are pieces that can be bought at Galaxys edge, I’m assuming that’s why they didn’t use hers? I don’t know it’s late and I’m tried xD

    But no components that replicate hers? I just think more likely the artist that drew Rey didn't do their homework on her or on lightsabers in general.

    You’re right lmao. I shouldn’t laugh, I know I shouldn’t, but this whole thing is just a circus at this point 😂😂

    Turns out Lightsabers have different designs.

    I really see no difference other than one is green and one is bluish.

    To me it looks sort of similar to the one on the left in this pic

    (that's at 1.35 in the video)

    I know at Disneyland you can design your lightsaber too which is a fun activity for the kids. It was fun watching the show they put on. Now there is a huge land for it. Some of the Gurus were talking about how they took their kids to the new attraction and now it makes sense. Usually they make trips before the pack releases. Like Gurus went camping before Outdoor Retreat and SimGuruGrant went to Hawaii before Island Living came out.

    Does it really matter? Maybe making it this way was intentional. This is The Sims...

    I'm pretty sure that's Anakin's lightsaber (hence the pic of Anakin in the OP, I'm sure).

    except...y'know...with the scary, arm-slicey part coming out of the wrong end (whoOPS!)

    I used to have one of those super-cool LED lightsabers (I had Anakin's), so I know it well.

    Of course, I'm not a Star Wars ultra-nerd or anything (and I say that with love btw), so I could be wrong.

    Still... I ain't as wrong as that art is 😬

    Editing to add a pic of Rey holding (what looks to be) the same lightsaber (note the black lines of the grip in her lower hand), but with the aforementioned scary, arm-slicey part coming out of the right end:

    I was surprised to learn that the blades aren't really telescopic.

    Not a mistake, lightsabers all look differently.

    If y'all don't know that every, single lightsaber is uniquely constructed, and all are different, then you haven't been following Star Wars.

    Some people will complain about anything.

    One of these things is not like the others...!

    I do genuinely think someone made a mistake, and that's okay. No one is perfect, not even the person/people responsible for the official art. I can't speak for the others, but for me it's not really that serious. Just kinda funny lol

    (Edited to fix a typo -- silly fingies~)

    Yeah, it looks like whoever made that picture did a mistake.

    I won't lie. I would totally make that mistake too.

    There are many different designs and styles of lightsabers.

    Watch and learn:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDIWirJJXHk

    They're using Anakin's lightsaber in the promo...the "blade" is coming out of the hilt, so it is in fact upside down in the image for the lightsaber in question.
    Give our Vampires back their fangs!!! Reverse the Nerf!!! Occult simmers should not be shoved aside for the "realism players"! It's time Occult lovers/players started to demand equal treatment. #JusticeForOccults
