It’s Official:  Anakin’s lightsaber Are Belong to Rey

In case you missed it in Vanity Fair’s recent Star Wars issue, Lucasfilm has declared that Rey is now the official owner of Anakin’s lightsaber.  While Pablo Hidalgo specifically cautions that the color of a Jedi’s blade is not indicative of their moral compass as would be a House selection by Hogwart’s Sorting Hat, it would seem that the way a wand chooses the wizard in Harry Potter is a more appropriate analogy.  A lightsaber reaching out through The Force and choosing its owner may be the Sequel Trilogy’s version of Midichlorians.
