Sidious himself felt that he and his peers had outgrown the use of lightsabers, and only continued carrying them to mock the Jedi. He ultimately viewed his own lightsabers as little more than an affectation, and rarely wielded them in combat.
Palpatine Always Hated Lightsabers
He believed that the Jedi's lightsabers, created as the order's primary weapon, clouded their vision and blinded them to the fact that everything around them is a weapon through the Force, and that the Jedi put too much stock in lightsabers.
Because sometimes is less reliable to use two lightsabers and the form windu was using is not a traditional one.
DARK SIDE FRIDAY - Did you know Palpatine feared Qui-Gon Jinn? Palpatine was immensely powerful and he could see the future which made him very confident about pretty much anyone who stood against him. So why Qui-Gon Jinn?
Real world answer: Probably because its hard to learn dual wielding in a very short amount of time for the actor (Ian McDiarmid) and difficult to choreograph. In-universe answer: Palpatine had his lightsabers hidden separately inside his Sith statues when he moved into the Supreme Chancellor's office.
2) Who is the only non Jedi in the original Star Wars trilogy to use a lightsaber? Han Solo uses Luke's lightsaber to cut open the tauntaun's belly in The Empire Strikes Back.
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.
If Qui-Gon had survived his fight against Darth Maul, he would have sensed Palpatine's evil, and Anakin wouldn't have become Darth Vader. Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than Yoda, Palpatine feared him more.
Yoda was most likely the wiser of the two, but the deciding factor comes in the form of Windu's fight against the outed Sith Lord Darth Sidious in Revenge of the Sith.
Even after his brutal scorching in the fires of Mustafar, sand remained the only natural phenomenon that Vader feared. To him, sand was a reminder that he'd failed to save his mother or Padme from death.
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.
Mission to Mathas. Padawan Windu was trained in the ways of the Force by Jedi Master Cyslin Myr. Following his early trials as a youngling, Windu attained the status of Padawan by becoming Jedi Master Cyslin Myr's apprentice.
What Would Happen To The Galactic Republic?

There would be a need to elect a new chancellor to lead the democratic government.
Vader relies on the complex life support system of his suit to survive and it happens to be very vulnerable to electrical discharges. So, if Vader ever had unleashed Force lightning, there's a good chance it would've caused his suit to short circuit, thus, killing him.
Dooku belonged to the aristocracy, and his weapon reflected an older, more chivalric style than the Jedi he faced. It also reflected his status as the head of the Separatists: the lightsaber looked far more ceremonial than practical, suggesting that he himself did not face combat nearly as much as the Jedi did.
The lightsaber's redesign was a byproduct of the bleeding process that damaged its kyber crystal, rendering it dangerously flawed and unstable, and necessitating the lateral vents were meant to prevent the cracked kyber crystal from overloading.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
As powerful as Darth Sidious may have been, it's easy to forget he actually seemed afraid of Master Yoda. As seen in Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine initially thought he could deal with the aged Jedi Master - and then, when Yoda proved able to counter the Sith Lord's Force lightning, he fled.

After an arduous lightsaber duel, Maul mortally wounds Qui-Gon, stunning him by thrusting his saber hilt to his chin and then running Qui-Gon through. Maul is subsequently defeated by Obi-Wan. Before dying, Qui-Gon makes Obi-Wan promise that he will train Anakin.
It's implied that this isn't feigning and Palpatine is actually fighting to win. In the book its implied that he allows Mace to move him and make certain moves, however this is a not uncommon dueling tactic, waiting for openings and surprising an opponent.

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.
