Bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse

A bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse was a pulse that enabled a lightsaber to activate underwater with the help of two crystals. Kit Fisto had one in his lightsaber. He would later record in a Jedi Holocron an explanation of how the pulse worked, and instructions on how to modify lightsabers to add the feature. The ancient lightsaber that Anja Gallandro had bought and formerly owned was waterproof, so was Cilghal's. Luke Skywalker would discover that Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber was waterproof. Ahsoka Tano's lightsaber and shoto were both able to function underwater. By 24 ABY, Luke's Jedi Praxeum students had already created lightsabers with the pulse as part of their regular design, rather than as an optional choice.

Being from an aquatic species native to the waters of Glee Anselm, Kit fisto modified his lightsaber so the beam could energize even when fully submerged in water. to achieve this, he used two crystals charged by an ignition pulse that is split into two currents. Fisto"s customized modification proved popular among the order, especially during the clone wars when action brought jedi to such watery planets as Kamino.
