Yeah, in ROTS all of Grievous's sabers were copies of other characters' sabers. It likely is just out of ILM laziness/lack-of-production-time, as his sabers in The Clone Wars are original designs.

The parts with Sidious using his own saber were reshoots.
He was suppposed to use anakins, but they changed it so they could have a fight using all 4 movie canon colours.
As for grievous, the 'official' ones he uses are Obi ROTS, Ani ROTS, Mundi AOTC & Gallia TPM, though they do change hands, blade colours, and in the case of Gallias, hilt colour.

The story being It's mundis actual saber he lost in the Clone wars cartoon, and Gallia's is her's from obsession comic when he kills her.
Other two were just reused renders from the bit on his ship.
The whole "Grievous using Obi's, Anakin's sabers" is nothing new. But I do find it funny that ILM couldn't have taken the time to at least make a couple generic hilts for Grievous to use.
@Gundamaniac::
I could definitely believe that story. Add lightsaber theft to Palpatine's naughty list. :D
@Barmic Rin::
That's a great screencap, but are you sure that it's Obi's ROTS?
The part just under the emitter is definitely gold, whereas I was under the impression that Obi's is black.
Nope, you are wrong, Eco

And why do you center your text like that? It makes it harder to read.
Guys, I doubt that Lucas himself would not remember which saber Luke used so he uses it for grivous. I mean, that since its just a movie they said to themselves why not use old sabers in the newer movies.
Last I knew the obi rots saber was susposed to be green.
That sounds somewhat believable but they would of had to change how the saber that palpys has was lost in the fight and why he would have one of a completely different color(ones electrum and ones black and white and such) the next fight.
I dont know for sure so I am sticking with the fact that they already had cgi renderings of many things so they just used them to save some cash. lazy or money grubbing or whatever just think of how much cash it takes to render a completely new saber every time.
