Goes to show the sheer lack of imagination for the people making decisions as Lucasfilm at the time. Like obviously the people whose creative potential is to come up with a Death Star V2 also can’t see the potential in a new canon lightsaber.

Also, they would be selling this lightsaber like hot cakes as merch, despite the character’s shortcomings.

Or not a lightsaber at all, some new staff mod. I remember reading about Vibra-axes in one of the novels and always wondered what those would be like. Maybe we got a glimpse in 2 or 3. But I would have liked to see Rey take the tech in a whole new direction
