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.
Red. The franchise's iconic red lightsabers are exclusive to the Sith, and for very good reason. The crystals to make red blades are imbued with the evil intent and ability of the users, making them all the stronger.
An example of a Jedi swordmaster was Mace Windu, considered as such because he was a master of all forms of lightsaber combat and due to his mastery of Vaapad, which he created.
Notable practitioners
Other than Lucien Draay, Meetra Surik, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Kit Fisto, Shii-Cho had many advanced and/or specialist practitioners. In more recent years, the form was mastered by the Jedi swordmaster Cin Drallig along with the other six forms.
Sokan was a form of lightsaber combat. Developed by the ancient Jedi Knights during the Great Sith War, Sokan combined tactics that allowed for evasion and mobility with the kinetic motions of Form V combat.
Red lightsabers are the weakest, according to a Star Wars study conducted at the University of Leicester regarding lightsaber colors. Decades of Star Wars lore has dictated that the red lightsabers favored by The Sith offered greater offensive capabilities than the softer colors favored by The Jedi.
Rey's lightsaber was a yellow-bladed lightsaber that was constructed as a personal weapon by the Jedi Rey Skywalker following the First Order-Resistance War.
Sure, we know that the darksaber can't cut through solid beskar, but what about the most iconic Star Wars weapon of them all? According to a new video on the Star Wars Comics YouTube channel, the darksaber is in fact be stronger than a Jedi's lightsaber—and apparently, that Mandalorian finale just proved it.
Jackson wanted his character to wield a purple blade on-screen. Jackson felt that a unique lightsaber color would enable his character to stand out among the sea of sabers on the screen during the chaotic Battle of Geonosis (from Episode II).
At the end of the film, Rey returns to Luke's home on Tatooine, where she buries Luke and Leia's lightsabers, then reveals her own—decked out with a golden-yellow blade, a hilt that looks like it might've been crafted from her staff, and a cigarette-lighter-looking switch that turns it on.
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.
After pledging himself to the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Anakin Skywalker took the name Darth Vader but continued to use the blue-bladed lightsaber he'd fought with during the Clone Wars.
Purple. Only one person in canon wields a purple blade: the Jedi Council's Mace Windu. He uses it to decapitate the deadly bounty hunter Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones and to deflect Darth Sidious' Force Lightning with it -- disfiguring his face -- in Revenge of the Sith.
The Forbidden Forms were forms of lightsaber combat used by the Sith during the Sith Wars. According to the testimonies of the Jedi Cervil the Uncanny, lightwhips—a lightsaber variant with a flexible blade—were used to defend against Sith Lords who utilized the forms.
Lightsabers with ghostfire crystal cores also generated almost no sound and produced illusory afterimages of the blade that followed the motions of the wielder, the most curious effect of all which disguised the true position of the blade while also disorienting foes.
Beskar. The most well-known example of a lightsaber-resistant material, beskar is inexorably tied to Mandalorian culture. The iconic Mandalorian suit of armor, made famous but Boba Fett, Din Djarin, and Sabine Wren, is traditionally made of beskar and is passed down through Mandalorian clans for generations.
Affiliation. Form VII, also known as Juyo, the Way of the Vornskr, or the Ferocity Form, was the seventh of seven forms recognized as canon for lightsaber combat by the last Jedi Council of the Old Jedi Order.
Form V, also known as the Way of the Krayt Dragon, was created by Form III masters who desired a more offensive style, since the defensive nature of Form III often led to prolonged combat, which was potentially dangerous for its practitioners.
Through the Force, Yoda was considered to have mastered Form IV to its highest level. He used it in almost all of his battles, and his mastery of the style caused others to describe him as virtually unstoppable against most opponents, including Separatist battle droids, despite his small size and advanced age.
