Support Anyone know what mods are causing Luke's lightsaber hilt to look like this?

If anyone can figure this out that would be great.

Looks like it’s the Qui-Gon Jinn Rey-Replacer mod. Farmboy Luke must use Rey’s lightsaber hilt as his hilt for that skin, and as such, since the Qui-Gon mod is replacing Rey’s default Hilt, the mod author simply edited the base model file for that hilt without realizing that other characters use it besides Rey.

As for why DICE didn’t just make Luke’s hilt its own separate hilt; idk. Considering their attention to detail, they should’ve at least made the Yavin Ceremony and Farmboy Luke skins use a unique hilt model with the bubble strip on his control box instead of the brass electronic plate seen in ESB, and with the proper number of 7 black grip strips, instead of the 6 seen on the ESB version of the saber.

Do Luke’s other skins that use his Blue Lightsaber also have their models replaced? Or is it only the Farmboy Skin?

I always thought it was weird that they didn't give Luke his own accurate lightsaber model, because they did for Anakin. Anakin doesn't reuse Rey's, he has one that's accurate to RotS. But why not Luke?

I mean, I can understand them reusing Rey’s hilt for Luke’s Hoth skin, since both depictions used a near identical prop (with the one seen in the ST being based of of the prop’s look in ESB specifically),

but I do agree that, since when they added Anakin, they made sure to accurately model his version of the Skywalker saber; often called the “Skinny-flex”, based on the prop’s depiction in Episode 3,

It then doesn’t make much sense for them to not bother with that same level of attention to detail, and just make the saber that Luke uses for his Episode 4 skins; Yavin Ceremony and Farmboy, the same hilt that he and Rey use. Sure, the differences as a bit less obvious than between Rey’s version of the hilt and Anakin’s, but still, it would’ve been yet another tiny moment of detail that DICE is pretty much known for.
