The blade was crafted by the first Mandalorian Jedi, Tarre Vizsla, in 1032 BBY. It is unique for its black, narrow blade, which responds to the emotional state of those who wield it. It was perfect for parrying since it actually drew rival lightsabers to its blade.

History. Asajj Ventress and Ahsoka Tano were two notable practitioners of Jar'Kai, preferring to use two lightsabers as opposed to one. The cyborg General Grievous had been outfitted with arms that could split in half, enabling him to choose between holding two lightsabers or four lightsabers.

“That we couldn't take a hand off [the hilt]. We always had to have two. It was like Excalibur, 40 to 50 pounds of weight.” Lucas doubled down too, saying “They're very powerful and have a lot of energy in them... so you worked with them as if they were heavy.”
