The first Jedi to wield a true lightsaber isn't definitively named in mainstream canon, but in Star Wars Legends, it was a mysterious Weapons Master on Tython who crafted the first "First Blade," a precursor to modern lightsabers, and gave it to the Jedi Rajivari, though early Jedi used similar "proto-sabers". In current Canon, lightsabers evolved from these early Force-powered weapons, with figures like the ancient Je'daii Order exploring their creation, but the concept of the modern, polished lightsaber as we know it developed over time, with Mace Windu being the first known Jedi to use a purple blade.
Much of the commentary revolves around one key question, “Why is Mace Windu's lightsaber purple?” There's no mystery why Windu's lightsaber attracts so much interest. Purple blades are exceedingly rare in the Star Wars universe; in fact, Windu was the first Jedi known to wield one in the current Canon.
The earliest known functional lightsabers were called the First Blades, built on Tython and the Ryo Fortress on the planet Shikaakwa. Prior to this news, the items were created in the Force Wars by an unknown Je'daii Master with the help of the Shikaakwa people, known only as the Weapon Master.
Exar Kun was the first Star Wars character to have ever been shown to use a double bladed lightsaber, so the story you mentioned was probably a reference to him (he was a darksider.)
The rarest lightsaber color is generally considered black, embodied by the unique Mandalorian weapon known as the Darksaber, with only one ever created, though white (from purified red crystals) and purple (like Mace Windu's) are also exceptionally rare in canon, signifying unique Force attunements or powerful skills. Other rare shades include cyan, gold, and sometimes pink, depending on the specific canon or Legends source.
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.
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.
A lightsaber can cut through the Vibranium shield if the Jedis have enough time to slowly cut it down. This is highly unlikely if a duel between Luke and Captain America occurs. Captain America will not give him enough time to cut through the shield.
Around 1050 BBY, the Darksaber was created by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian ever inducted into the Jedi Order. After his passing it was kept at the Jedi Temple. However, during the Old Republic's fall, it was taken by Mandalorians of House Vizsla, who raided the Jedi Temple.
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.
The Acolyte's sixth episode reveals Qimir was once a Jedi, making him a formidable dark side user.
The clone commando RC-1136, known as Darman Skirata, got Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan pregnant during the Clone Wars, resulting in their son, Venku Skirata, a Force-sensitive child born outside the Jedi Code's restrictions. Their forbidden relationship and child's birth were detailed in the Republic Commando novels, highlighting the complexities of clone troopers' development and the strictures of the Jedi Order, as Etain was killed shortly after Order 66 while protecting her family.
I genuinely believe ahsoka was one of yoda's favourite Jedi ever!!!
Vader breaks free of the operating table and takes a few steps before doing the only thing anybody in his position could do, he screams an unholy, bloodcurdling scream. His vocal computer has nothing close to this sound in its database so it translates it to the infamous 'Noooooooooo'.
Both of them have high durability against melee weapons, Vibranium is better because it absorbs kinetic energy, Beskar is just a stronger metal capable of deflecting even light sabers and plasma weapons.
Phrik. A rare and highly durable lightsaber-resistant metal, phrik is prized for its lightweight yet nearly indestructible properties. Initially developed by the Arkanians, a near-human species from the frozen world of Arkania, this metallic compound became a crucial element in advanced weaponry and battle armor.

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.
Knowledge of Form VII became restricted among the Jedi Order, whose members were worried that its precepts would lead practitioners toward the dark side. In contrast, members of the Sith, such as Darth Maul, employed Juyo without reservation, as did Dark Jedi such as Galen Marek.
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.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
