Huulik's lightsaber

"What is it?" "It's your father's lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age."

- Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi

"This is Huulik's lightsaber, I believe. We buried it with him since we didn't know what else to do with it."

- Taneetcha Soonta to Luke Skywalker

During the Clone Wars, a lightsaber was used by the Rodian Jedi Knight Huulik. After his demise following the execution of Order 66, the weapon was entombed along with its owner in an unmarked mausoleum on Rodia. During the Galactic Civil War/Canon, Huulik's niece Taneetcha Soonta accompanied Rebel agent Luke Skywalker to the tomb. She would give the aspiring Jedi the lightsaber, noting that it did no good sealed away. Shortly after receiving the weapon, he would use it to decapitate an aggressive ghest that had destroyed one of the speeder bikes the pair had arrived on before entering the mausoleum. After the encounter, Luke would deconstruct the lightsaber at a workbench in his room in Toopil in an effort to better understand its workings. However, he would accidentally knock it's kyber crystals out of alignment, rendering the weapon useless. Luke would have his R2 unit R2-D2 take holo stills of the device as he worked on it for future review, before placing its components in a small bag after Laneet Chekoo burst in, warning him that the Empire had placed a planetwide alert on his ship, the Desert Jewel.
