After the tragic events of Order 66 took place, almost the entire Jedi Order was brutally
betrayed and gunned down by the once loyal clone troopers, including Ki-Adi Mundi.
But what happened to Ki-Adi Mundi’s luminous blue lightsaber after it hit the icy ground
of Mygeeto?
I’m going to break down the incredibly interesting story of what happened to Ki-Adi Mundi’s
lightsaber after he was betrayed during Order 66.

Wars lore content.
Ki Adi-Mundi’s lightsaber hilt design was influenced by his native Cerean culture, which
made it very unique and different from the other members of the Jedi High council.
Ki-Adi Mundi’s native culture encouraged simple designs, which maximized utility over
looks, which resulted in him creating a very simple hilt design without any frills or accents.
Interestingly, his lightsaber also contained two kyber crystals, one green, one blue, allowing
him to produce both blue and green blades.
This multi-crystal lightsaber design was incredibly rare among the Jedi Order, not being seen
much at all in Canon, until Rey’s yellow lightsaber from the Rise of Skywalker, which
also contains a blue and green kyber crystal inside it’s hilt.
Mundi’s unique lightsaber was used from the first battle of Geonosis, through the
second battle of Geonosis, all the way to the fourth battle of Mygeeto, where he was
tragically betrayed and killed by Commander Bacara, leaving his lightsaber to drop to
the ground.
So what happened to it after this?
Immediately after Mundi’s death, Vice Chairman of the Intergalactic Banking Clan, Anolo,
collected it from the snowy battlefield and brought it to his office as a symbol of the
failure of the Jedi.
He began to inspect the rare find within his office, with his cyborg assistant, when an
incredibly rapid blaster bolt smashed through the window, nearly killing him.
The vice chairman and the cyborg quickly attempt to evacuate the tower, but Greedo, who just
fired the shot, and fellow bounty hunter Takvaa continue to chase them.
Greedo had been hired by Jabba the Hutt to kidnap and return Chairman Anolo’s cyborg,
because of the incredible amount of imperial information contained inside of it’s brain.
As the two are chasing the Muun, who is still holding the lightsaber, Greedo mentions that
Boba Fett was originally chosen for the mission, before it was given to him.
Eventually, Greedo and Takvaa are able to track down the scared Muun, but this time
he has gained the protection of his Muun bodyguards.
The bodyguards and the bounty hunters enter an intense firefight, with blaster bolts lighting
up the room, leading Takvaa to worry that they will fail, and be executed by Jabba.
Greedo then quickly responds saying he loves the thick hide of the Nikto species, before
throwing him in front of a muun’s stun baton to demonstrate, shocking him to the ground.
As the same Muun bodyguard loses his weapon, he attempts to punch Greedo, but Greedo points
his blaster directly to his head and pulls the trigger, I’m sure I don’t have to
explain what happened to his head after that.
As Greedo breaks through the last line of defence from Chairman Anolo’s bodyguards,
the chairman threatens him with severe punishment from the banking clan, but Greedo pushes forward
anyway, blasting the Chairman right through the chest, killing him instantly.
Greedo then quickly takes control of Chairman Anolo’s cyborg, using him to help in his
escape.
The two quickly break into the high security vault in the building, where they discover
Ki-Adi Mundi’s lost lightsaber.
Greedo wasn’t initially sent to steal the lightsaber, but instead just the cyborg, because
of the immense imperial information stored in his brain, which would be very useful for
Jabba to have access to.
Greedo then uses the fallen Jedi’s lightsaber to smash the window of the tower he is in,
and make his escape.
Unfortunately, as Greedo makes it onto his escape ship, the cyborg unfortunately falls
to his death, leaving Greedo in deep trouble.
He realizes that Jabba will probably execute him for his failure to return the cyborg.
For this reason, Greedo must make up to Jabba for his failure.
To do so, he presents Ki-Adi Mundi’s lightsaber to Jabba, but Jabba is initially completely
uninterested, ready to throw him to the Rancor.
Fortunately however, an Ithorian from the planet Batuu, named Dok-Ondar is in attendance
at Jabba’s palace, and offers to buy the lightsaber from Jabba, which ultimately spares
Greedo’s life.
After Dok-Ondar purchases the unique Jedi weapon, he goes on to use it during a mission
with Hondo Ohnaka to the Temple of Kyber of Jedha, shortly before the events of Rogue
One.
While there, he uses Ki-Adi Mundi’s lightsaber to cut down a statue of kyber, and steal it
from Chirrut Imwe and the Guardians of the Whills.
Eventually, Dok-Ondar takes the weapon back to the Black Spire outpost of Batuu with him,
where it can actually be seen at Galaxy’s edge.
So make sure you check that out if you ever get the chance to visit Galaxy’s edge.
Many years later, First order stormtroopers later question the Ithorian about the weapon,
because they believe he may be connected to the resistance, but he ultimately keeps Ki-Adi
Mundi’s lightsaber safe for future missions.
So that is exactly what happened to Ki-Adi Mundi’s lightsaber after he was gunned down
by Commander Bacara during the events of Order 66 on Mygeeto.
