Shotos are typically side arms for Jedi who dual-wield with certain fighting styles, as seen with Ahsoka Tano during her tenure as a Padawan. The hilt itself, along with the blade length, is a shoto.
Yoda's lightsaber is the simplest of the canon sabers, which matches both Yoda's small size and reserved personality. The wise Jedi Master was rarely seen in combat, but his lightsaber was featured in a few duels in the prequel trilogy, including one with Count Dooku and another with Darth Sidious. His once private assassin and apprentice Asajj Ventress used hilts that were very similar to this lightsaber's design.Īt the time of writing this, it is not known if Dooku corrupted his original Jedi kyber crystal or used another for this weapon. While the films only show Dooku using a red crystal, he would have originally used an entirely different hilt (or at least a different coloured crystal) during his time with the Jedi. His second lightsaber is almost identical to his first, being made in the style of his late Master's, though it's ever so slightly longer and a bit narrower.Ĭount Dooku's lightsaber introduced a curved hilt that allowed him to perform large sweeping slashes that would come at his foes from unexpected angles as well as precision hits for his fighting form. The design of this hilt is based on the Darth Vader saber from Episode IV, but with much more chrome.Īfter losing it during his battle against Darth Maul, Obi-Wan constructed a second lightsaber that he used until just before the Battle of Geonosis where it was confiscated from him. After its destruction on Geonosis, he had to forge a new one, which was eventually passed down to Luke. Maul's lightsaber kept his enemies off balance by featuring two red crystals, combined with grips and switches that allowed the weapon to become two separate blades if needed.Īnakin Skywalker's first known lightsaber only lasted during his Padawan years up until the battle of Geonosis. The zabrak Sith used a dual-bladed lightsaber (sometimes known as a saberstaff) that was designed to be wielded more like a polearm than a traditional blade. It has a black and silver hilt with a segmented shroud that guided the blade from a blue crystal. Obi-Wan's lightsaber was more slightly complex in design than his master's, but clearly took inspiration from it, as was common for Padawans. The hilt featured a single red activation button and a black deep-grooved body with a silver trim. Master Qui-Gon Jinn used a very simplistic single-bladed lightsaber with a green kyber crystal.
Here are almost all the known hilts shown in the films, not including ones that weren't shown for very long (such as on Geonosis) or have no known pictures. Every Jedi and Sith, at some point, had to construct their lightsaber.
