Luke Skywalker's green lightsaber

"I see you have constructed a new lightsaber. Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful, as the Emperor has foreseen."

- Darth Vader examining Luke Skywalker's lightsaber.

Luke Skywalker's green lightsaber was the lightsaber that was constructed and wielded by Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker during the Galactic Civil War after he lost his father's in the duel on Cloud City.

Design
Luke modeled his weapon on Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber, but simplified some of the design elements.

Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon
Luke constructed this lightsaber during the Galactic Civil War after he lost the first one in the duel with Darth Vader on Bespin. He would go on to wield it during the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon with the Hutt Clan.

Usage during the Battle of Endor
While on the Forest moon of Endor, Luke used the weapon to protect himself from oncoming blaster fire from a Scout trooper on an Imperial speeder bike. He sliced part of the bike off, causing it and the trooper to spin out of control and collide into a tree, killing the trooper and destroying the speeder bike.

After turning himself in to his father, Darth Vader, Vader remarked that Luke's skills were complete as he constructed a new lightsaber.

When taken onboard the second Death Star, Emperor Palpatine inspected the lightsaber and claimed that Luke's lightsaber had a similar design like his father's.

Following the death of the Emperor, Luke recovered his lightsaber and was seen wearing it during the Rebel Alliance's celebration on Endor.

Behind the scenes
During Celebration V, Mark Hamill and George Lucas debuted a deleted scene from Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi in which Luke assembles and activates his lightsaber for the first time. The clip was later included in the saga Blu-ray boxset.
