Exar Kun's lightsaber

Exar Kun's lightsaber was the lightsaber used by the Jedi Exar Kun during the Great Sith War. Originally a standard blue-bladed lightsaber, after becoming a Sith Lord Kun modified it into what is believed to be the first double-bladed lightsaber.

Weapon Specifications


Unlike later weapons, however, Kun's lightsaber had adjustable blades: they could extend anywhere between .5 and 1.5 meters, and switch between a standard lightsaber blade and one that was mere a beam of light, allowing him to trick his opponents, as well as forcing them to overextend themselves.

But Kun's true genius in the weapon was the engineering. The lightsaber only used a single lightsaber mechanism rigged with two emitters and a single set of crystals. It was not two lightsabers with connected pommels but a single saber more akin to a Forked Lightsaber.
