Lightwhip/Legends



A lightwhip was a rare variation of the lightsaber that only specially trained Jedi or Sith could wield. Like the lightsaber, it emitted a coherent beam of energy. However, the blade was long and flexible and wielded like a whip.

Known users of the lightwhip included Kit Fisto, Lumiya, Githany, Silri, and possibly the Black Sun Vigo Lord Xist.

Like lightsabers, most lightwhips came in different colors. Githany's lightwhip was red.

One was built by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who designed it from a whip he had seen the bounty hunter, Ona Nobis, use. It was used by the Nautolan Jedi Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan during their mission on Ord Cestus.

Lumiya's lightwhip, which was built from a shard of the Kaiburr crystal and Mandalorian iron, was specially modified to include both energy and matter, making it impossible for Luke Skywalker to overcome with just a lightsaber. In their rematch, Luke used a lightdagger in conjunction with his lightsaber to counter it.
