With this combination, Ahsoka brought these twin blades to bear against numerous opponents, including Darth Vader in one of the most epic duels of the franchise. Because of the crystals’ purification, the lightsabers project white blades instead of the normal Jedi colors of green or blue. Tano used these lightsabers shortly after defecting from the Jedi to utilize their white color as a symbol of neutrality.Īhsoka Tano uses a unique combination of a regular-sized lightsaber as well as the shoto-sized lightsaber used by characters like Yoda and Even Piell. Ahsoka used the purified crystals to create new lightsabers. In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano purified the kyber crystals after defeating the Sith villain Brother Inquisitor in combat. Ahsoka Tano’s Curved Hilt White Lightsabers Asajj Ventress wielded dual paired lightsabers with an interlocking hilt that allowed her to connect her lightsabers together into a double-bladed splitsaber, which allowed her to hold her own against more powerful Force-users. Their leader was known as the Grand Inquisitor and he wielded a special double-bladed lightsaber with a special hilt that allowed it to spin as well, leading to the “spin saber” nickname that also earned the Inquisitor’s the “Red Blades” moniker due to the crimson weaponry.Ĭlick to zoom Asajj Ventress’ Paired Interlocking LightsabersĬount Dooku was revealed to have his own Sith apprentice named Asajj Ventress in Star Wars: Clone Wars.

The lightsaber is also strong enough to fend off the light whips and saber strikes of his sister’s red saber. The multicolored lightsaber burns through an entire Star Destroyer at hyperspace speeds. While his lightsaber starts out red, as most Siths’ are, once he smashes the kyber chunk into the grip of his lightsaber, its upper length turns a brilliant shade of blue/white, giving the weapon a smooth gradient.
