John Boyega Talks Lightsabers with Empire!
As expected Empire continues to share stories from their upcoming special issue dedicated to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, due to release on November 26th. This time Empire chat with John Boyega about lightsabers…
From Empire:
“Man, the lightsaber came in this case,” Boyega told Empire. “The guys brought it out and I’m like, ‘Now’s the moment, now’s the time.’”
“I held it in my hand and I just felt, you know, the clouds open up and the white doves come flying down. It feels very, very good. I hugged it for the whole day. I didn’t allow anyone to hold it but me.”
Did he get to keep it? “No, but we’re working on that…”
Obviously this piece is only a tease about Empire’s upcoming issue, since it revealed absolutely nothing about Finn and/or lightsabers (unlike their previous piece about Snoke). We hope there will be more in the actual issue.

That’s ma boy….wield that saber!
I love the fact that Anakin’s Lightsaber has become excalibar.
Though I’d like to know how someone found it and knew who it belonged to
true
thanks for the spoil !
Its not really that much of a secret. JJ & crew have mentioned it in interviews that the saber from the trailer was luke’s and all the prop displays refer to it as “The lightsaber built by Anakin skywalker”. I understand if you don’t want to know anything about the film, but if you consider that a spoiler then you may wish to avoid this comment section in the coming weeks since we are so close to the film it is going to be littered with spoilers
I’m sorry, what are you doing here?
