    Anakin Skywalker: You’re a Jedi Knight, aren’t you?
    Qui-Gon Jinn: What makes you think that?
    Anakin Skywalker: I saw your laser sword. Only Jedi carry that kind of weapon.

    Is Anakin–the very Space Jesus himself–an idiot, then?

    Uh… don’t answer that.

      It’s actually canon that it’s common for laymen in the SW universe to call them laser swords.

      Anakin was an enslaved kid from a backwater planet, and as such probably only heard stories and rumors about the Jedi from travelers.
