Kanan's lightsaber

"You don't have anything that can hurt me." "Maybe I do."

- Count Denetrius Vidian and Kanan Jarrus

Kanan's lightsaber was a two-piece lightsaber owned by Kanan Jarrus, a Padawan who survived the destruction of the Jedi Order.

Description
The lightsaber built by Kanan Jarrus had a blade length adjustment control. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, Jarrus kept the lightsaber hidden. Rather than hang it on his belt by the belt ring, which would easily identify him as a Jedi, Jarrus stored it directly on his belt as two separate pieces, with the main body and grip of the hilt at the small of his back, and the top portion that produced the blade on his left side. Jarrus merely needed to insert the top portion into the main body and twist to lock them together.

History
When he was a Padawan, studying under the guidance of Jedi Master Depa Billaba, Jarrus&mdash;then known as Caleb Dume&mdash;built his own lightsaber. After the destruction of the Jedi Order, Dume escaped the death that befell most Jedi and went into hiding. At first, he hid in a compartment aboard Janus Kasmir's ship, the Kasmiri. Dume then went under the assumed name of Kanan Jarrus. He kept his lightsaber hidden so he would not be identified as a Jedi and killed. He nonetheless secretly carried it with him everywhere he went, including on the planet Gorse and its moon, Cynda, during the conflict on Gorse.

Fourteen years after the fall of the Jedi, the lightsaber was discovered hidden on the Ghost(a rebel ship) by Ezra Bridger, an orphan thief from Lothal who was taken in by Jarrus and the crew of the Ghost. During the crew's mission to rescue Wookiee slaves from the spice mines of Kessel, pinned down by a squad of stormtroopers Jarrus used his lightsaber and revealed himself as a Jedi to Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau, this surprised the Imperial who ordered his men to concentrate fire on him, which Kanan reflected using Form V thereby giving the crew and the Wookiees a chance to escape Kessel. This action drew the attention of the Jedi hunter known as the Grand Inquisitor. Inquisitors are Jedi hunters. The Grand Inquisitor is their leader. Kanan then used his lightsaber to duel against the Inquisitor at the Spire on Stygeon Prime, using Form III. During their second confrontation on Anaxas Kanan was rendered unconscious and despite Ezra's attempt to use it was easily disarmed by the Inquisitor who used it alongside his own to fend off a large Fyrnock summoned by the Padawan, Kanan would recover it while escaping. After his capture Kanan's lightsaber was confiscated by the Inquisitor. During what would prove to be their final clash the Inquisitor displayed Kanan's weapon clipped to his belt as a trophy forcing the Jedi to use his apprentices, as the two fought Ezra used the force to pull Kanan's lightsaber to his hands and used it fight against the Inquisitor. When Ezra was knocked away and was thought to be dead, Kanan took back his lightsaber and was able to defeat the Inquisitor and escape.
