Top 10 BEST LIGHTSABERS
Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
What exactly would the star wars franchise be without its signature weapon, the lightsaber?
Over the years the lightsaber has grown into a pop cultural icon, thanks to some pretty
badass sabers.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 BEST LIGHTSABERS.
WeÕre not just judging on strength, but uniqueness and appearances as well.
LetÕs get to it.
In the number 10 spot, we have MACE WINDUÕS SABER.
We have Samuel L Jackson to thank for this beautiful one.
Apparently the unique color, which made his saber stand out from the rest of the jedi
order, is due to the fact that Jackson asked George Lucas himself behind the scenes if
he could wield the amethyst weapon, so he could identify himself in large battle scenes.
The words Òbad motherfuckerÓ are also enscripted on the handle, which he happily kept post-production.
Coming in at number 9 IS YODAÕS SABER.
It was green, it was mini, it was cute as heck, basically the perfect representation
of its wielder.
Now it may have been smaller but it was just as deadly as any other saber.
Yoda built it himself and it served him well for many many years until it was lost in his
battle against Darth Sidious.
It was later revealed that the saber ended up being burnt along with many others by the
new Galactic Empire.
Totally lame.
Next, at number 8 WE GOT OBI-WANÕS SABER.
Also known as the lightaber that gets lost the most.
Microchip that thing, man.
Obi-wan kenobiÕs had to go through several different sabers, but it was his third that
he used to face off against his lost apprentice Darth Vader, and which his new apprentice
Luke based his second saber design on.
So it may be simple in design, but big on iconicity.
In the number 7 spot IS EZRA BRIDGERÕS SABER.
He may be a star wars rebels character rather than from the movies, but his saber is something
worthy of mention.
Ezra constructed his own saber before he received formal jedi training, and the cool thing about
it is that the hilt doubles as a stun blaster, making it one of a kind with its multi-utility.
It eventually was destroyed by Vader and replaced with one not as cool.
Coming in at number 6 IS ASAJJ VENTRESSÕ SABER.
Ventress has quite the interesting concept to her saber; the saber is actually composed
of 2 separate ones with curved hilts that can attach together to make one deadly saberstaff.
Not bad for not quite a sith.
Of course the curve made this a little more difficult, but she had the skill to wield
it well.
Of course until she got knocked out and had it stolen.
Next up, at number 5 THE DARK SABER.
Technically I guess this one isnÕt a lightsaber.
The dark saber was one of a kind in regards to innovation, with its black blade and altered
shape, and had been residing in the jedi temple before being stolen by mandalorians.
It was then passed down over many generations, its flat pointy blade landing in the hands
of several people, such as pre vizsla and Sabine Wren.
Up next at number 4 IS THE GRAND INQUISITORÕS SABER.
This thing had so many modes and abilities, it wasnÕt just cool, it was super useful
and deadly.
This one could be detached and used as two, it could be activated to rotate around the
handle, the handgrip could separate and be used as a throwing discÑit was basically
the swiss army knife of lightsabers.
Is there anything it cannot do?
Other than survive falling into the sovereigns engine?
In the number 3 spot WEÕVE GOT SKYWALKERÕS SABER.
ItÕs not the most unique out there, but ranks so high up on the list because of what it
means to the audiences.
Just like the franchise itself has been passed down through the ages, so has AnakinÕs saber,
from Anakin to Luke and then to Rey.
It is a central story piece that carries a lot of significance with its many lives, and
apparent stream of bad luck to those who wield it.
Coming in at number 2 IS DARTH MAULÕS SABER.
We have had double sabers already on this list, but the one that Darth Maul held was
the first of its kind and by far the most memorable.
Just try and remember the rush of emotion you felt when he drew it for the first time.
Especially because we were probably like ten at the time.
Like oh snap didnÕt see that coming.
And if the saber happened to break, no problem, the other half still worked!
Crazy!
Not to mention itÕs color coded to his face.
Insane.
And finally, in the number 1 spot WE HAVE DARTH VADERÕS SABER.
If any saber can be regarded as the central icon to the star wars franchise, it would
be the red saber that vader wielded.
This saber is the single most recognizable and sybolic throughout the franchise-- no
matter how much you know about star wars, this thing is probably the first image that
comes to mind.
Its symbolism and iconicity are what take the cake at the number one spot on our list.
So those were the top 10 COOLEST LIGHTSABERS.
