Darth Maul and his double-bladed lightsaber
Summary Many great lightsabers have found their way into viewers' hearts and minds throughout Star Wars. As time has passed and the franchise has grown, so has the evolution of the saber. Some of the best lightsabers have made appearances throughout canon and Legends, but one concept in particular found its inspiration from the comics. Since that iconic moment, it has become one of the many great frames for the franchise ever since.
The Double-Bladed Lightsaber Made Its Legends Debut With Exar Kun According To Veitch, It Was Always Going To Happen Close Thousands of years before Maul, there was a Jedi Knight named Exar Kun. He was an over-confident warrior who was quick to anger and intensely curious about the Sith. He would wage war against the Galactic Republic during what was known as the Old Sith Wars after turning to the dark side.
The Prequels Brought Exar Kun's Double-Bladed Lightsaber Into Live-Action Veitch Did Not Love How George Lucas Used Legends As Inspiration Darth Maul's first appearance in Star Wars was both awesome and terrifying, and once he activated his double-bladed saber for the Duel of Fates, everyone was in awe of his mighty weapon. Double-bladed sabers like Maul's have extra-long hilts to be used as a staff while the user fights with it and bears a two-handed grip.
