It later falls to the streets of Coruscant after Windu is betrayed by Anakin. 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. Only one person in canon wields a purple blade: the Jedi Council's Mace Windu. Mace Windu's purple lightsaber was added during reshoots for Attack of the Clones. Wielders in canon also include Quinlan Vos, Depa Billaba, Bultar Swan, Stass Allie, Luminara Unduli, Kit Fisto, Eeth Koth and Kirak Infil'a.

On the other hand, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin's Padawan, swung a green lightsaber at the beginning of her career - adding a second, shorter green blade as she became more experienced during the Clone Wars. The Star Wars YouTube channel's description for the movie's teaser trailer, in which the blue blade can be seen, confirms this. This blade was blue in the initial edit (and early posters), but it was changed to green so it would stand out against Tatooine's blue sky in the final cut. We first saw a green lightsaber in Return of the Jedi, when Luke ignited his new blade on Jabba the Hutt's sail barge. Other blue users we've seen in canon also include Ben Solo, Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, Cal Kestis, Shaak Ti, Agen Kolar, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Barriss Offee, Jocasta Nu, Aayla Secura, Plo Koon, Kai Justiss, Sora Bulq and Ferren Barr.Īn experienced Luke Skywalker uses a green blade when he faces his father and the Emperor on the second Death Star.

Leia's lightsaber hilt was inspired by Luke's second one, according to The Lightsaber Collection reference book. Then she retired the two lightsabers in the sands of Tatooine. She repaired it between that movie and The Rise of Skywalker, when she used it and General Leia Organa's blue-bladed saber to destroy Emperor Palpatine once and for all. This weapon's kyber crystal can be seen as Rey examines the split hilt at the end of The Last Jedi. 'I knew this lightsaber was the Excalibur of this film,' set decorator Roger Christian told Daniel Wallace for the recently release Star Wars: The Lightsaber Collection. Rey wields Leia and Anakin's blue lightsabers to deflect Palpatine's Force Lightning in The Rise of Skywalker. However, Obi-Wan used a blue blade throughout his career, and Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, which passed between the central characters of the saga (from Anakin to Luke to Rey, via Finn), was blue. Since Luke wields it, one might easily assume that blue corresponds with younger Jedi. Blueīlue is the color of the very first lightsaber we see, and it's by far the most common hue. Be warned that great big Star Wars SPOILERS for the movies and shows follow. We'll look at all the different shades of lightsaber, and the characters who wield them.
