Ah, Anakin's lightsaber: if you were to acquire this weapon in a role playing game, it would likely come with the "cursed item" tag. After all, its last two owners lost a hand while wielding it, one fell to the Dark Side and was directly responsible for the deaths of millions, if not billions, and the other had his fair share of death on his head before/while becoming a hero, too.

Dan Hipp, art director on Teen Titans GO! had a little bit of fun with that aspect of this legendary weapon on Twitter, warning Finn, who is seen wielding it in Star Wars: The Force Awakens promotional material like clips and art, that he might want to be careful with that particular blue-bladed laser sword.

The image comically includes Anakin (in old, scarred man form) and Luke waving to Finn - with smiles on their faces and missing hands, under the words "Good Luck Finn." Kylo Ren stands in the corner speaking his newly-revealed dialogue from the talking toys, "That weapon is mine," which we also extrapolated was in regards to this lightsaber.

Incidentally, Hipp is a great follow on Twitter, regularly posting his versions of pop culture icons from Captain America to Link to Mad Max characters and of course plenty of DC Entertainment (gotta nod to the day job every once in awhile).
