Sifo-Dyas' lightsaber

"This once belonged to an old friend of mine. And now it is yours, as reward for your impressive training."

- Count Dooku to General Grievous

This blue-bladed lightsaber was a weapon that had once belonged to Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas.

Sith Trophy


This lightsaber was evidently created by Sifo-Dyas during his years as a Jedi. He likely wielded it against Dooku during a duel that resulted in his death. Dyas' corpse was preserved by Dooku in a coffin-like transparent freezer unit, the body arranged as if resting with the lightsaber still clasped in his hands.

Dyas' corpse was eventually put to use by Dooku, who used it as the donor material for a massive blood transfusion to the crippled Qymaen jai Sheelal. Dooku kept hold of the lightsaber during Sheelal's reconstruction and training, eventually presenting it the cyborg as a reward. However, when Dooku did so, he referred to Sheelal as a "droid", enraging the Kalee.

Usage by the Jedi Hunter


Shortly after Dooku left, Sheelal began deteriorating into violent rage. Sitting in his chair trembling, Sheelal finally leapt into the air and attacked his own IG-100 MagnaGuards. Wielding the lightsaber against them, Sheelal executed them with brutal speed and efficiency. When he finished, Sheelal angrily stated that he wasn't a droid, and declared himself General Grievous.

This was likely the last time that Grievous wielded the lightsaber, as when he participated in the Battle of Geonosis, he wielded an electrostaff.
