There is only one Darksaber in the Star Wars universe, a unique black-bladed Mandalorian relic created by the first Mandalorian Jedi, Tarre Vizsla, serving as a symbol of leadership on Mandalore that can only be won in combat. While other "dark sabers" (like Sith red blades or custom fan versions) exist, the Darksaber itself is singular and holds immense cultural significance for the Mandalorians.
The rarest lightsaber color is arguably black, embodied by the unique Darksaber created by the first Mandalorian Jedi, Tarre Vizsla, with only one ever existing; however, white (Ahsoka Tano's purified crystals) and purple (Mace Windu's) are also exceptionally rare, symbolizing unique paths outside the typical Jedi/Sith dichotomy.
The Black Series Force FX Lightsabers offer just that! These elegantly crafted weapons are perfect for display or Cosplay. There are 24 different sabers that you can choose from, ranging from your favorite Sith to your favorite Jedi.

Notable Darksaber Wielders
The Darksaber is one of the most unique, epic and most powerful lightsabers in the Star Wars universe for several reasons. It a rich history and cultural significance because it was created by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian ever to be inducted into the Jedi Order.
Anakin Skywalker was a known user of Djem So, both during his initial stint as a Jedi and later when he subsequently fell to the Sith. The Shien variant of Form V allowed the utilization of an unconventional reverse grip, which Ahsoka Tano was known to prefer and use during battles.
Since Darth Vader wasn't killed in a duel and technically died on his own by taking off his mask, then that means that in passes down onto his son, Luke. Making Luke the rightful owner and heir to the Darksaber.
No, Moff Gideon is not a Sith.
While he wields the Darksaber and is fascinated by the Force, he has no Force abilities himself. Instead, he tries to recreate Force powers through science and cloning.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
Form VII (Juyo), the "Ferocity Form," was banned by the Jedi Order because it required channeling aggression, anger, and other intense emotions to fuel its wild, relentless, and unpredictable attacks, which closely skirts the dark side and risks corrupting the user, a direct violation of the Jedi Code's emphasis on peace and emotional control, even though Mace Windu later adapted it into the controlled Vaapad variant for a select few.
Tràkata is a rare and cunning lightsaber technique built on deception and misdirection. Jedi like Kao Cen Darach and Cal Kestis used it to gain surprise advantages in battle, while Sith like Qimir mastered its lethal precision.
Form VII, known by its two primary disciplines of Juyo and Vaapad; and also known as The Ferocity Form, was the seventh form of lightsaber combat. It was considered the most aggressive and unpredictable form.
So: which lightsaber is the most powerful? The answer depends on what you value most: the devastating raw power of Kylo Ren's unstable blade, the symbolic might of Anakin Skywalker's blue saber, the balance reflected in Rey's yellow lightsaber, or the legendary authority behind the Darksaber.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's father; Anakin had no biological father, being born of the Force itself in response to Plagueis's dark side manipulations, with Palpatine's tales of Plagueis's power over life being a manipulation to turn Anakin to the dark side, though Plagueis's attempts to create life did inadvertently cause Anakin's conception.
Thrawn was one of if not the only Imperial who wasn't afraid of Vader and was one of the few officers who actually respected Vader for his commitment and loyalty to the Empire. Vader in turn held great respect for the Grand Admiral's intelligence and strategic influence.
No, lightsabers can't block bullets. Here's a great video that explains why. The idea was actually put into issue #18 of the Dark Lord of the Sith comic series. During the hunt on Chandar's Folly, Tarkin's team armed up with slugthrowers (firearms) and flamethrowers, two things Vader couldn't block with his lightsaber.
In conclusion, Form VII, also known as Juyo or Vaapad, is undeniably the most aggressive lightsaber style in the galaxy. Jedi Master Mace Windu's mastery of this form exemplifies its power and its dangers.
During an interview, Lucas spoke about the similarities between Anakin and Jesus and the religious undertones of Anakin's story. The filmmaker dismissed the notion that Anakin was meant to be the Star Wars equivalent of Jesus Christ.
Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, possessed the highest known count in galactic history—over twenty-thousand midi-chlorians—surpassing the potential of Grand Master Yoda and all Jedi.
