Back when the original Star Wars movie came out in 1977, the Lightsaber's were much different then they appeared in 2005's Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Why is that you say? Well for one the designs are slightly different in episode IV than in episode III. For instance the belt clips. In the prequel trilogy, the lightsabers attached to a Jedi's belt via a Bridgeport Rig like device, where a black knob would slide onto a rig on the left side of the belt. In the original trilogy, they were hung on a belt via a d-ring on the bottom of the hilt and a hook on the belt.
That's a pretty big noticeable difference there. That brings me to my next argument, the activator buttons. In episode IV, Luke Skywalker's lightsaber had a different activator button than it did have in episode III. WTF George Lucas. You've already ruined continuity with these stupid prequels with the lightsabers slightly different design features. Also the Handgrips are slightly different in the prequels than their original counterparts, ie Obi Wan-Kenobi's lightsaber had rougher handgrips in episode III.
Also lightsabers weren't used like every second in the original trilogy unlike the prequels.
