Description. Darth Maul's double-bladed hilt in its original form. The saberstaff consisted of two lightsabers fused together so the blades extend in a single line. Each blade could be ignited separately with blade modulation controls depending on the situation and the opponent being faced.
The blade is removable from the hilt so that you can pretend to engage in Lightsaber duels when the blade and hilt are attached, or clip the hilt onto your belt and carry it the way the Jedi and Sith do in the movies.
The Sith apprentice Darth Maul wielded a double-bladed lightsaber made by joining two hilts together end-to-end. Maul's dexterity and extensive training allowed him to use his weapon as a single-bladed saber, or to activate both crimson blades and fight multiple opponents at once.
Returning to his ship, Maul drew on Sith schematics he had at his disposal, fabricating two separate lightsabers. Welding the weapons together, Maul created his new lightsaber.
It was a double-bladed weapon with an extra long hilt, apparently incorporating multiple kyber crystals - likely taken from the corpses of Jedi who had been killed by Darth Maul prior to Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
History. Asajj Ventress and Ahsoka Tano were two notable practitioners of Jar'Kai, preferring to use two lightsabers as opposed to one.
Black lightsabers are extremely rare in the Star Wars universe, and only a few have been seen on screen. These lightsabers are typically associated with the Dark Side of the Force and wielded by Sith or Dark Jedi. The most well-known black lightsaber is the Darksaber, which was created by the first Mandalorian Jedi.
Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber, also known as Maul's saberstaff, was the first personal double-bladed lightsaber of Darth Maul, a Sith Lord who took part in the Invasion of Naboo and the Clone Wars.
Rey's lightsaber was a yellow-bladed lightsaber that was constructed by the Jedi Rey Skywalker following the First Order-Resistance War.
After Opress was killed, Maul drew the Darksaber and wielded it in tandem with his red blade against his former master, but was unable to defeat him.
The Darksaber's moral scales of judgment rejected Maul from being considered worthy. Though Maul was able to handle the blade with ease after he claimed it as his own in combat, the Darksaber did not feel as if he was worthy of being its successor due to the nature of his obsessive lust for power.
Palapatine never changed Maul's name after giving him the “Darth” title because he never respected him. Everyone else has a cool title once they become a Sith Lord. But Maul is just “Darth Maul” because Sidious never respected him.
Eventually, though, Darth Maul stopped using the Darksaber. The most likely reason is that the Darksaber itself started disapproving of him as a master, thus becoming heavy and unwieldy.
He renounces his Sith title of "Darth", rebuilds his criminal organization and manipulates Ezra Bridger into helping him find Obi-Wan on Tatooine, where the two old rivals have a final confrontation that ends in Maul's death.
Today, however, Obi-Wan Kenobi director Deborah Chow says she believes that was never actually the case. In an interview for Total Film magazine, as first reported by GamesRadar, Chow says, "As long as I've been involved, we've never had Darth Maul in any of it."
In a one-shot issue from Marvel Comics, the Sith Lord Darth Maul received a dark vision in the Force, becoming a Jedi against his will. While Darth Maul was one of the most fearsome Sith Lords in the Star Wars galaxy before his fall from grace, he once received a vision from the Force where he became a Jedi Knight.
After losing his father's lightsaber on Cloud City, Luke Skywalker constructed a replacement with a green plasma blade, its hilt similar to that of Obi-Wan Kenobi's weapon.
Anakin Skywalker carried this blue-bladed Jedi weapon throughout the Clone Wars. After dueling his former apprentice on Mustafar, Obi-Wan Kenobi took Anakin's lightsaber and kept it on Tatooine for nearly two decades.
Leia Organa's lightsaber was a blue-bladed lightsaber powered by a kyber crystal in the core of the hilt. It was silver and copper in color and featured mother-of-pearl inlays. Organa's weapon was considered a work of art, having an elegant symmetry with silver and gold hues that evoke to her upbringing on Alderaan.
During his years as a Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi fought with three lightsabers. His first had a blue plasma blade and a hilt similar to that of his master, Qui-Gon Jinn. Obi-Wan used this weapon until Darth Maul kicked it into a deep shaft on Naboo. He then constructed a new, blue-bladed lightsaber with a similar design.
Without a doubt, the most notable Jedi with a purple saber is Mace Windu, portrayed in the prequel trilogy by Samuel L. Jackson. Audiences first got a glimpse of the unusual blade in Episode II: Attack of the Clones, making Windu the coolest Jedi in one cinematic moment.
Construction. In the construction of a Sith lightsaber, individuals partook in a process known as bleeding. By ways of the Force, they would pour negative emotions, such as rage, hate, fear, and pain into kyber crystals. The process would result in the crystals gaining a distinctive crimson or red hue.
While there are many one-of-a-kind lightsabers in the Star Wars universe, there is only one with the history and legend of the Darksaber, which was created by the first Mandalorian Jedi named Tarre Vizsla.
Arguably, some of the rarest types of Jedi were the so-called Iron Knights. These are members of the Shards species - crystals with a brain of their own. They were Force-sensitive and all trained under the tutelage of Jedi Master Aqinos. The Shards had droid bodies, similar to that of General Grievous.
The Solari crystal was one of the oldest and most powerful lightsaber crystals of the Jedi Order.
