The lost hilt of Yoda?

[JediHilt]

I haven't read the Star Wars books like most of you have so I don't have quite the cataloging knowlege of Star Wars history so I'm sure you know more about this than I do however, I have discovered something interesting. It is said that Yoda gave jedi knight Qu Rahn a lightsaber that belonged to him as sort of a backup weapon called a golden lightsaber (guessing yellow blade). Qu Rahn carried a green lightsaber such as the one seen here.
He left this saber with Morgan Katarn knowing he would soon be captured and sensed that his son Kyle was strong with the force and would be a great jedi when he grew up. When the dark jedi Jerec shows up in his ship the vengence he and his men infultrate Qu Rahn's ship Rahn defended himself with the saber given to him by Yoda but lost the dual, his ship destroyed, and himself captured. This is the scene that comes next http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GfgtBuhOxk after Rahn is captured and killed the golden saber was taken by Pic. Notice in this picture of Pic drawn before Rahn died the hilt he carried. Now look at the hilt in this picture that has some core similarities to Yoda's design such as the emitter. Could this be the long lost golden lightsaber of Yoda?

Yah I like that saber too. If you get a demo of jedi knight 1 you can see the orange bladed replica he made of Rahn's saber in fact the parts and the book in my signature are from that saber.

ok now for the hard question..where can i get one built?

A: Tim can lathe it out of thick MHS tubing seeing how the emmitter bears a striking resemblance to an MHS ribbed section
or B: Take the pictures to random sabers and have them make you one

In addition to the story Luke Skywalker learned of Pic taking Yoda's saber and sent a search party to the refuling station in hopes Pic's body and the saber were still intact inside of the cargo room. Considering how small Pic is I doubt he carried a backup weapon which is more evidence it could be the hilt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ya8t8f4syI

Watch the Dark Forces 2 cutscenes on youtube for more glimpses of the saber.

Notice in this picture the saber Pic is carying the picture was drawn with Boc in it so it was recent to Rahn's death.
The young Jedi Knight regarded his duel with Pic and Gorc as extremely difficult, and felt angry at Mon Mothma for not fully recognizing his effort.[9] Pic's body was left by Katarn on the Sulon Star along with his Gorc's; Kyle did not realize at the time that the tiny darksider carried a weapon which had once belonged to Master Yoda. Later, after realizing the importance of the saber, Luke Skywalker sent a group of Jedi to retrieve the lightsaber, though it was unknown if they succeeded; the weapon and Pic's body could have stayed intact on the ship, or someone else might have taken it.[2]

I downloaded dark forces 2 demo downloaded an .smk video reader and took a screen shot of the trailer video. Than I took the image and ran it through multiple image enhancers to catch a glimps of the details on the golden lightsaber.

All I can say is that Yoda was suppposed to be 900 years old by the time Luke meets him in ESB, so he may have built more than one lightsaber.
I however am not a fan of this theory, as it rolls the whole series into a nice little package.
I mean in a galaxy THAT big, some stuff will be lost. Attaching items to a person in that way cheapens it IMHO.
Just look at the series of books in the early 90's with the whole 'Glove of Darth Vader' thing. Never sat right with me....
