Every Lightsaber in the Star Wars Universe

One cannot deny that the lightsaber is one of the most easily recognizable weapons in pop culture history. What little kid hasn’t imagined — nay, acted out — lightsaber battles after watching Star Wars? (Remember Star Wars Kid?) As Obi-Wan put it, the lightsaber is “an elegant weapon for a more civilized age” and Star Wars just wouldn’t be Star Wars without it.

Between movies, TV shows, video games, and books, there exists quite a number of lightsabers in the Star Wars universe. Well, the good folks at PixlParade have done the legwork and created the ultimate guide to all the lightsabers in the Star Wars universe. Check it out below:

The article at PxlParade includes some other facts about lightsabers after the infographic, such as how many color lightsabers are there and which is the rarest lightsaber color. The fact about the purple lightsaber was one I already knew: before Attack of the Clones, only blue, green, and red lightsabers existed. However, when Samuel L. Jackson was cast as a Jedi Master, he insisted on a purple lightsaber because purple is his favorite color. With this came other lightsaber colors, and the introduction of kyber crystals in lightsaber lore.

Head on over to PxlParade to learn more about lightsabers. As for my favorite lightsaber? I have to admit that I’m attracted to the rarest one of them all, the Darksaber.
