10 Recent TV Show Mistakes You Won't Believe

As a general rule, the correct way to hold a weapon capable of shooting out a pretty deadly laser is with the dangerous end pointing down.

And that's largely how many a Jedi Padawan, Knight and Master tend to hold their trusty lightsabers on their belts whenever they're not slicing through droids, stormtroopers, or stubborn blast doors.

During one brief moment in the middle of the recent Disney+ Tales of the Jedi animated Star Wars adventure, though, none other than 'The Chosen One' himself suddenly decides to randomly mix things up a little.

Look closely at Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber throughout the sequence in the fifth episode, "Practise Makes Perfect." You'll spot that Ahsoka Tano's master does very much carry his iconic lightsaber with the blade-end facing down at one point as he watches her battle through an exercise involving a bunch of clone troopers blasting her with stun guns.

What a lovely teacher.

However, after Ahsoka wakes up from being knocked out by a blast for a second time, Skywalker's weapon is oddly flipped upside for a few moments before returning to its standard position as the training continues.

Strangely enough, as Darth Vader, this is sort of how the fallen Jedi would often hold his sacred weapon. Because he wasn't afraid of being burned anymore, perhaps?

So, either someone was trying to sneak a little Vader foreshadowing into the mix here, or they simply forgot which way the weapon should be pointing during the animation process.
