List of Lightsabers

A list of Lightsabers in the Star Wars franchise.

Jedi

Lightsaber	Description
Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
	At the age of thirteen, the design of Anakin's first lightsaber had a blue plasma blade, chunky controls, and thick ridges on the handle. While fighting his way through the battle droid foundries on Geonosis, Skywalker had his lightsaber destroyed by a mechanical cutting arm. This saber was later used as the reference for rebuilding his Sith lightsaber upon his becoming Darth Vader.
	Incorporating many of the elements from his first weapon, Anakin's lightsaber was specifically designed to facilitate his practice of Form V combat. The lightsaber had a solid casing and a heavily shrouded blade emitter. The beveled emitter was designed to designate separate facets of the blade for either offensive or defensive purposes. The lightsaber hilt included a ridged hand grip, as Shien/Djem So required its users to maintain a solid grip on the hilt. It had been his own weapon throughout the Clone Wars, until the end when he turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader. After his defeat on Mustafar, it was taken by Obi-Wan Kenobi for safekeeping, and later passed on to his son, Luke Skywalker. Luke would go on to use his father's lightsaber for three years while being part of the Rebellion. Luke lost the lightsaber, along side his right hand, in his second duel against Darth Vader at Cloud City on Bespin. Though this weapon was believed to be lost forever, it somehow ended up in the possession of Maz Kanata, who kept it for years. It was later used by Finn and Rey in their duel against Kylo Ren, where Rey claimed its possession. The lightsaber was later presented to Luke on Ahch-To by Rey, as a sign that the galaxy needed him once again, but after she handed it to him, he tossed it aside, wanting nothing to do with the weapon or the Jedi. Rey used the weapon during her Jedi training with Luke. Later, it was used by Kylo Ren to kill his own master on the Supremacy. Right after, Kylo returned it to Rey, and she wielded it against Snoke's Praetorian guards. The weapon was broken in half when Rey and Kylo Ren both tried to Force pull it, and she took both pieces with her. Sometime after the Battle of Crait, Rey was able to heal the broken kyber crystal of the lightsaber using the fundamentals of Force healing described in the sacred Jedi texts, and then she reconstructed the weapon. During the Battle of Exegol, Rey gave the lightsaber to Ben Solo through their bond and he wielded his family heirloom to defeat the Knights of Ren. After Palpatine's death and the end of the war with the First Order, Rey buried it along with Leia's lightsaber in the ruins of the Lars homestead on Tatooine; retiring the weapon, as well as honoring the Skywalker family where their legacy began.
	This weapon featured a thick, ridged handgrip, a high-output diatium power cell, a dual-phase focusing crystal, forward mounted adjustment knobs, and a beveled emitter shroud. Vader's lightsaber had an adjustable blade, which allowed the Sith Lord to manually adjust and control the size and width of the blade to suit his purposes. Vader was also known to have used the weapons against opponents other than Jedi, though he also sometimes preferred to use the Force against his victims. Vader has been known to have experimented with a rounded emitter shroud similar to his first Jedi weapon. His lightsaber was also powered by a kyber crystal that was taken from the Jedi Master Kirak Infil'a after the Sith Lord murdered him. After corrupting and "bleeding" the crystal with the dark side of the Force, Vader's lightsaber gained its signature red blade. Vader would also originally use Infil'a's hilt for his lightsaber, but when it was destroyed in a fight with bounty hunters in a cantina, Vader rebuilt his weapon into the hilt that was a twisted version of his very first lightsaber from when he had been a Jedi Padawan it was presumably destroyed when the Rebels blew up the second Death Star.
Luke Skywalker
	The construction of Luke's green lightsaber was based off schematics Luke found in Obi-Wan's hut on Tatooine. Luke was able to gather most of the parts he required to build his weapon from various vendors in the city of Mos Eisley, including a high-energy reflector cup, power cells, and a focusing lens. However, Luke was unable to obtain a lightsaber crystal and was forced to fabricate his own, utilizing a small blast furnace and a book of instructions found within the home of his fallen Master. The resulting hilt greatly resembled that of his late master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The weapon possessed superior balance to Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber. Possibly as a result of utilizing a thick kyber crystal, the lightsaber made a distinctive snap-hiss sound when activated, which was a different sound to that emitted by his father's weapon. Luke was still in possession of the lightsaber during the time he started to train a new generation of Jedi. He wielded the lightsaber against the Knights of Ren on Elphrona. Luke was holding this lightsaber when he was briefly tempted to kill his own nephew, Ben Solo, after sensing the darkness inside him, which resulted in Ben waking up and trying to defend himself with his own lightsaber. After Ben fell to the dark side and Luke's Jedi Temple was destroyed, Luke took his lightsaber, as well as Leia's, with him to exile on Ahch-To, where he would never lay hands on it again for the rest of his life. After his death, it, along with all his other personal belongings remained in possession of the Caretakers on Ahch-To, but his spirit gave Leia's to Rey.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
	Obi-Wan's first lightsaber was based on the simple design of Qui-Gon Jinn's weapon. During the Invasion of Naboo, Obi-Wan lost this weapon during a duel with the Sith Lord Darth Maul, who kicked it into a reactor shaft inside the Theed power generator.
	Obi-Wan's second lightsaber was constructed sometime after the Invasion of Naboo, after he lost his first lightsaber in a duel on Naboo against the Sith Lord Darth Maul. It exactly resembled his first saber. Obi-Wan lost this weapon when he was captured by Separatist leader Count Dooku on Geonosis.
	Obi-Wan's third lightsaber featured a much more skeletal make. The emitter was separated from the body of the weapon by a bronze and brass cut-back, thin "choke" portion which also held the reserve power cell. Immediately below this slim bar was the black ridged handgrip, which occupied the central third of the hilt. The activator was throttle-style, the same sort featured on Anakin Skywalker's second lightsaber. The covertec wheel was black held onto a rigged black extension. Finally sealing the hilt was a chrome emitter. During Obi-Wan's exile on Tatooine, the lightsaber was adjusted in sections so that parts were black. This weapon was lost after Darth Vader killed him on the Death Star. He also wrote down instructions for creating a lightsaber. He based the schematics provided off his own, which resulted in the lightsabers created from the instructions bearing a strong resemblance to his weapon, starting with Luke Skywalker's.
Mace Windu
	Mace had two lightsabers, one with a more generic design, the other with a more intricate design. His signature purple lightsaber was built upon being appointed as a senior master of the Jedi Council and was decorated with electrum finish befitting his high status. The weapon also had a unique signature handgrip. The fate of the weapon is unknown' except that it was last seen falling out of a window down from Chancellor Palpatine's office after Windu's duel with Palpatine.
Yoda
	Yoda's constructed his lightsaber many years ago under the aegis of Professor Huyang. In keeping with Yoda's stature, the green-bladed weapon had a shorter-than-average hilt and shorter blade. It had a simple design, consisting of a studded chrome handle with black trim and an emitter shroud. It should be noted that Yoda never used the lightsaber much until he battled Dooku on Geonosis. Yoda lost it after his battle with Palpatine. Mas Amedda later pick it up after the battle. Subsequently, Yoda didn't want to wield another lightsaber. After his death, the lightsaber ended up in the possession of his last Jedi apprentice, Luke Skywalker. Skywalker offered the saber to Grogu, a young member of Yoda's species who was being trained by Skywalker. Grogu had to make a choice, choose the lightsaber and continue on the Jedi path, or choose the armor of beskar made for him at the request of his Mandalorian friend Din Djarin and surrender to the bond he had with him, renouncing the Jedi.
Qui-Gon Jinn
	Qui-Gon built his lightsaber while under the apprenticeship of Dooku during the latter's tenure as a Jedi Master and utilized Form IV with it as his main fighting style. Elegantly built, the lightsaber had a scalloped hand grip. Qui-Gon would wield this lightsaber until his death at the hands of Darth Maul. Maul was cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi with the weapon as its last act, but unknowingly survived and returned during the Clone Wars. After the battle, Kenobi returned the weapon to the Jedi Temple.
Kit Fisto
	Kit Fisto built his lightsaber sometime before the the Clone Wars. The Jedi Master modified his lightsaber by using two kyber crystals charged by an ignition pulse split into two currents, this allowed the beam to energize fully submerged in water. He continued to wield it during the Mission to Vassek 3 and Battle of Mon Cala before his death at the hands of Sheev Palpatine.
Plo Koon
	Plo Koon built his lightsaber in the decades before the Clone Wars, and would continue to wield it until his death during Order 66. Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order used this very design as a rubric for the lightsabers they built, though it is unknown what happened to the weapons after Kylo Ren destroyed most of the New Jedi Order.
Ahsoka Tano
	Ahsoka used this lightsaber in Form IV and Form V combat. She mainly used it in a reverse Shien style grip. Her master Anakin Skywalker temporarily dual-wielded both her lightsaber and his own against two super battle droids led by the notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane on a Munificent-class star frigate in the Devaron System in order to save her. He also used only it after Ahsoka let him borrow it to defend himself when his own lightsaber was taken by the Separatists during the Battle of Mon Cala. Ahsoka lost this lightsaber when she was dueling Barriss Offee on Coruscant. Though it was later returned to her by her master during her mission to capture Darth Maul on Mandalore, she left it behind to fake her death during Order 66. At some point during the Clone Wars, Ahsoka construct a yellow-green-bladed shoto-style lightsaber to pair with her standard lightsaber and wielded it during many battles across the galaxy. Ahsoka lost this lightsaber when she was forced to go on the run; she dropped her shoto-style lightsaber when a rocket blast knocked her over. It was returned to her by Anakin Skywalker for her mission to capture Darth Maul on Mandalore, but left it behind to fake her death during the events of Order 66 alongside her blue lightsaber.
	During the events of Ahsoka, following her departure from the Jedi Order and set during rise of the Galactic Empire, Ahsoka constructed two new lightsabers, created from the inner components and crystals from the lightsaber of an Inquisitor called Sixth Brother, whom she killed and with the outer hilts made from materials of her choosing. The main lightsaber is of standard length while the other is a shoto-style lightsaber, similar to the ones she wielded during the Clone Wars except both handles are slightly curved, and emit white blades. The hum of these lightsabers is higher pitched and quieter than that of more traditional variants. Originally, both crystals were red from infection by the dark side of the Force, but Ahsoka turned them white by imbuing them with the light side of the Force. Ahsoka still carries these lightsabers.
Caleb Dume/Kanan Jarrus
	When Caleb Dume was forced to keep his Jedi identity hidden by calling himself Kanan Jarrus, he had to conceal his lightsaber in a drawer where it remained for fourteen years, until Ezra found it. Kanan's lightsaber was specially modified to split into two pieces and reattach for easy concealment. Following Kanan's death, the weapon ended up in the hands of Governor Pryce. It was likely destroyed when the Imperial Dome on Lothal blew up.
Ezra Bridger
	Unlike a traditional lightsaber, Ezra's weapon is a lightsaber-blaster hybrid, allowing him to engage in lightsaber combat as well as firefights. The lightsaber blade is light and swift, which complimented Ezra's speed and size. The blaster component, which fired stun blasts, was built as a result of Ezra's lack of skill at deflecting blaster bolts with his blade. At the heart of the lightsaber is a kyber crystal, which Ezra received in the Jedi Temple on Lothal. In addition to the crystal, the lightsaber was built out of a number of parts from different members of the Rebel crew of the Ghost. Kanan Jarrus had spare lightsaber parts that he had found over the years, Sabine Wren donated modulation circuits and an energy gate, Chopper donated a power cell and Hera Syndulla provided additional technology based on Ezra's specifications. Those specifications included a blade emitter shroud, handgrip ridges, a blade length adjuster, an activator, and a blaster barrel. This weapon was destroyed by Darth Vader in Ezra's second duel against the Sith Lord.
	Following the destruction of his first lightsaber, Ezra at some point constructed a new one that features a green blade. Unlike his previous lightsaber-blaster hybrid, his new lightsaber is more traditional in construction. It is vaguely similar in design to Luke Skywalker's second lightsaber and Obi-Wan Kenobi's third lightsaber. It's hum is somewhat deeper in pitch than traditionally for a lightsaber. Before disappearing with Grand Admiral Thrawn and the purrgil into hyperspace, Ezra gave his lightsaber to Sabine Wren. She made modifications that altered its appearance, essentially making it hers according to lightsaber expert and architect droid professor Master Huyang. Even Ezra held this viewpoint, telling her she should keep it, even when she attempted to return it. Although she opposed his stance on the matter, Ezra urged Sabine keep to the lightsaber as it now belonged to her.
	After years of exile on Peridea, Ezra constructed a new lightsaber with parts supplied by Huyang. The design of his third lightsaber is similar to the lightsaber that belonged to his master, Kanan Jarrus, something that Ezra did intentionally as he tried to honor him. Containing a blue kyber crystal, the lightsaber also features the same type of emitter shroud that Kanan's lightsaber had.
Leia Organa
	Leia constructed her own lightsaber during her Jedi training with her brother, Luke. Leia's blue colored lightsaber had curved metal grips around its midsection and the ringed end of the hilt resembled that of her brother's green-bladed lightsaber. As she sensed the death of her unborn child at the end of her Jedi path, Leia interrupted her training and Luke kept her lightsaber. After Ben's fall to the dark side, Luke went in exile to the First Jedi Temple on Ahch-To, where he secretly kept his sister's lightsaber for safekeeping in his hut. Rey returned to Ahch-To on Kylo Ren's TIE whisper, which she burned, wanting to exile herself as Luke did, until his Force spirit gave her his old X-Wing for her to fly to Exegol to defeat Emperor Palpatine with his father's and sister's lightsabers. After the Emperor's death, Rey buried both Anakin and Leia's lightsabers on Tatooine; retiring the weapon, as well as honoring the Skywalker family where their legacy began.
Rey
	After the death of Palpatine, and the end of the war against the First Order and Sith Eternal, Rey buried both Anakin and Leia's lightsabers on Tatooine, and unveiled her own that she had been creating over the past year with parts from her quarterstaff. It contains a unique rotating activation switch, instead of the buttons or activation plates seen in other lightsabers, and the emitter flashes green and blue before becoming yellow when the weapon is ignited. The blocky shaped hilt was made from the end of her quaterstaff and it has a heavy solid armor that turns the lightsaber resistant to impact and overuse. She previously had plans to make it a double-bladed saber staff to fit into her preferred fighting style, but she opted to construct a single-bladed saber after having a vision of her dark self using a double-bladed lightsaber in the ruins of the second Death Star.
Cal Kestis
	After damaging his previous weapon, Cal Kestis created this lightsaber by combining parts from Cere Junda's lightsaber and his late master Jaro Tapal's lightsaber.
Depa Billaba
	Depa Billaba's lightsaber consisted of a solid metal cylinder ending in a tapered pommel and a multi-ringed emitter, the latter of which was enveloped by a diamond-shaped metal segment that wrapped entirely around the hilt. Billaba would wield her lightsaber during her time as a Jedi General until she perished during the execution of Order 66, where she used it to defend herself against her formerly loyal Clone Troopers whilst urging her Padawan, Caleb Dume, to flee until it was shot out of her hands.

Sith/Dark Jedi

Lightsaber	Description
Palpatine
	Palpatine's lightsabers were designed based around the Sith Master's passion for antiquity. He created the main body from the light and lightsaber-resistant Phrik alloy and decorated them with golden Electrum metal, as Palpatine was also a patron of the arts and a master craftsman. He constructed two of these weapons and used them throughout his life as a Sith Master/the Dark Lord of the Sith until he was killed by the redeemed Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Palpatine rarely used his lightsabers unless he had no other choice, as he knew the weapons would mark him instantly as a Sith Master. Moreover, he believed Sith had grown beyond the need for lightsabers, and only wielded them as a way of mocking the Jedi. Both his lightsabers were small enough to hide up his sleeves, and he always kept one hidden inside a neuronium statue on his desk during his time as Supreme Chancellor. He rarely utilized these lightsabers in his time as Emperor, and they are believed to have been lost after his death aboard the second Death Star.
Maul
	Maul's customized double-bladed lightsaber was his signature weapon was actually two separate lightsabers fused end to end. Maul controlled the weapon with deadly precision able to quickly switch from attacking with one one blade to the other. The weapon was cut right down the middle by Obi-Wan Kenobi during the duel on Naboo, leaving him with only one blade. Half of it was presumed lost when Maul was presumed dead, however Maul had stored the lightsaber in a cave for over 12 years while trying to make artificial legs for himself. Maul's brother, Savage Opress, managed to retrieve Maul and only half of his lightsaber. Maul wielded the weapon against Obi-Wan in several rematches, then alongside the Darksaber against Palpatine. This weapon was eventually lost during Maul's escape from the Clone Troopers during Order 66.
	Maul's second lightsaber produced two crimson-red blades, and the upper grip-guard resembled that of the Inquisitors' lightsabers, albeit broken and bent outward, and it is likely he took the weapon from an Inquisitor that he probably killed. He would hide the hilt by attaching a piece of wood to it, and pretending it was a walking stick, all the while masquerading as a feeble old man. It was destroyed in the final battle between Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi; cut in half by the same downward blow that killed Maul.
Count Dooku
	After Dooku left the Jedi Order, he replaced his blue kyber crystal with a new synthetic red crystal, signifying his journey to the dark side. It had a curved handle which allowed for precision control of where the blade would go. Dooku typically wielded the weapon one-handed but would use two hands when required. This weapon was destroyed when it entered the planet atmosphere of Coruscant.
Ren
	This lightsaber once belonged to a man named Ren until it was stolen by his successor, who took the name after defeating him in combat. "Ren" then wielded this weapon as the leader of the Knights of Ren. He used this lightsaber on many journeys, including when confronted Luke Skywalker and his nephew and strongest apprentice, Ben Solo. Ben later became Kylo Ren after defeating Ren in combat by killing him with this weapon. He later killed his former friend Voe with this weapon and left it with the body.
Ben Solo/Kylo Ren
	Ben Solo constructed his lightsaber during his training with his uncle Luke Skywalker. It had a blue plasma blade, and a hilt with squared-off corners and geometric lines like his mother's saber. The hilt also had finned grips similar to his grandfather's Sith lightsaber. Ben used this weapon while he was a Jedi apprentice in his uncle's academy. One night, when Ben was asleep in his hut, Luke had sensed his power being brought to the dark side by Snoke and activated his own lightsaber, attempting to kill his nephew. This caused Ben to wake up, force-grab his lightsaber, and activate it to prevent his uncle from doing so, before collapsing the hut. Ben kept the weapon and modified it into his cross-guard lightsaber after turning to the dark side. His corrupted lightsaber, made from his old Jedi weapon, had a main red blade, and two smaller red blades that projected from the side of the weapon as a crossguard. The reason for the blade's unorthodox appearance came from the fact that the kyber crystal powering it was cracked and damaged during its master's use of the dark side of the Force to bleed the crystal. As a result of the cracked crystal, the lightsaber blade became ragged and unstable, with the blade funneling like fire and static electricity instead of solidifying. It could barely contain the weapon's power, so it necessitated the use of vents and focusing crystal activators to funnel away the weapon's excess energy, creating the signature quillons (crossguards). The emitter shrouds for the quillons were a necessity to protect Ren's hands from his own weapon. The damaged crystal also gave the lightsaber a deep, growling hum that further made it unique and terrifying to behold. The lightsaber's hilt was based off an ancient design dating back thousands of years to the Scourge of Malachor, but unlike those, Ren's lightsaber was crudely built and slipshod in its design, but this was due to Kylo Ren's desire to made it easily reparable and menacing-looking. Kylo utilized this weapon at the time he served Supreme Leader Snoke and the First Order. He used it to murder his father, Han Solo and during his duel with Finn and Rey on Starkiller Base. Later, he used it while fighting beside Rey against the Praetorian guards and to confront his uncle on Crait. He continued to wield the weapon while he was searching for Rey after he became the Supreme Leader of the First Order and used this saber during his last duel against her atop the remains of the second Death Star. In the aftermath of the duel, after being saved by Rey from his mortal injures and conversing with a vision of his father, he threw his lightsaber away in the ocean, reclaimed his identity of Ben Solo, and turned back to the light side.

Inquisitorius

Lightsaber	Description
The Grand Inquisitor
	The Empire's Grand Inquisitor uses a double-bladed rotating lightsaber, which is designed to end battles quickly, efficiently, and with a minimum of effort. The Grand Inquisitor's lightsaber is equipped with several modes, such as the crescent-mode that keeps it single-bladed. There is also a disc-mode where a second blade is drawn, during so both blades can rotate across the disc. Its unique design serves to unnerve the Grand Inquisitor's enemies, particularly among the Jedi he hunts. It was destroyed by Kanan Jarrus using both his and Ezra Bridger's lightsabers.
Trilla Suduri/Second Sister
	After Trilla Suduri was captured by the Empire and turned to the dark side of the Force, she became known as the Second Sister and used a double bladed lightsaber with all the basics of Inquisitor lightsabers. Aurebesh writing is engraved on the wheel which reads twice "ASDFGHJKLQWERTYUIOPZXCVBNMAASDFGHJKLQWERTYUIOPZXCVBNM".
Reva Sevander/Third Sister
	As the Jedi Hunter known as the Third Sister, Reva wielded a double-bladed Inquisitor lightsaber. It is similar in appearance to other double-bladed spinning lightsabers wielded the Inquisitors. However, unlike other Inquisitors who carry their lightsabers on their backs, the Third Sister kept hers hang on her right side. The saber is able to be split into two separate blades with the ringed emitter retracting at the sides so the hilt can extend and split apart.
Fifth Brother
	The Fifth Brother's lightsaber is similar in design to the Grand Inquisitor's lightsaber, but is somewhat larger with indents on the outer ring. It, like all Inquisitor lightsabers, could be used for flight as well as combat. It was destroyed by Ahsoka Tano.
Seventh Sister
	The Seventh Sister's lightsaber shares the basic disc-shaped design with the Grand Inquisitor and the Fifth Brother's lightsabers, with unique textures and curved points on the outer ring. It, like all Inquisitor lightsabers, was useful for flight as well as combat. The saber was probably destroyed when the Sith temple exploded.
Eighth Brother
	The Eight Brother's lightsaber shares the disc-shaped design of other Inquisitor lightsabers, and like them, could be used for flight as well as combat. Uniquely, its outer ring contained retractable saw teeth, and could be utilized when deactivated as a hand-held buzzsaw. It was later destroyed during Eighth Brother's duel with Kanan Jarrus, Maul, and Ahsoka Tano.
Masana Tide/Ninth Sister
	The Ninth Sister originally utilized a saber that was similar in design to the Grand Inquisitor's, the only difference being a spike was present on each side of the wheel. It was used by Darth Vader during a skirmish on Cabarria after his lightsaber was destroyed by an ion grenade. At some point between 18 BBY and 14 BBY, the Ninth Sister replaced her original saber with one that had a more robust hilt, a wider emitter and a thicker wheel. Like the Second Sister's lightsaber, Aurebesh writing is engraved on the wheel, which reads twice "ASDFGHJKLQWERTYUIOPZXCVBNMAASDFGHJKLQWERTYUIOPZXCVBNM".

Miscellaneous

Lightsaber	Description
Asajj Ventress
	Asajj received her lightsabers from Count Dooku as a gift. They could join at the ends to make on double-bladed lightsaber like Darth Maul's. Asajj used them throughout the Clone Wars especially during her career as a bounty hunter until they were stolen by Barriss Offee. Asajj would never reclaim them, as she used a yellow-bladed lightsaber until her death at the hands of Count Dooku.
	During the Imperial Era, Asajj Ventress constructed another yellow bladed lightsaber, featuring a curved hilt similar to her old twin lightsabers.
Tarre Vizsla
	This one-of-a-kind lightsaber was created by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian ever inducted into the Jedi Order. Following his passing, the weapon was kept in the Coruscant Jedi Temple until it was stolen by members of House Vizsla prior to the Fall of the Old Republic. Death Watch leader, Pre Vizsla subsequently used it until Darth Maul seized control of Death Watch and Mandalore. Maul wielded it for a time and then placed it in the lair of the Nightsisters on Dathomir, where it was eventually found and claimed by Sabine Wren after Maul abandoned the location as a base. She would subsequently begin training to utilize it in battle under Kanan before passing it on to Bo-Katan Kryze, whom she considered the true ruler of Mandalore. Five years after the Battle of Endor, the weapon fell into the hands of Moff Gideon, a leader of an Imperial remnant.
