[Star Wars] What happened to all the light sabers?

So immediately after the storm troopers killed all the Jedi, there would have been hundreds or thousands of now ownerless light sabers lying around. Did the Empire melt them all down? Did the light sabers wind up in some sort of black market like Nazi paraphernalia after WWII?

It stands to reason that the Emperor and lord Vader would systematically gather and dispose of such objects. We can't allow people to use the weapons of the Jedi traitors against the glorious Empire, or perhaps worse, worship their belongings!
