Double-bladed lightsaber/Legends

The lightsaber, sometimes called the laser sword or simply the sword, was the distinctive weapon of the Jedi since millennia in the past. (The Jedi Order itself, however, was founded tens of thousands of years earlier.) Since its plasma blade was essentially weightless, it was very difficult to handle safely. For the same reason, it was a very quick weapon, and superhuman reaction times were necessary to capitalize fully on this advantage. Jedi traditionally constructed their own lightsaber as part of their training.

The Sith Lightsaber,  Double-bladed Lightsaber  or  Lightstaff  was even more dangerous than the one's used by thier Jedi counter-parts weapons. Utilising the same technology as a standard lightsaber, the Sith Lightsaber was designed with two blades attached to each other. This made it twice as powerful with "more kills per swing" as some put it. It could activate each blade independantly of the other and had a slightly longer grip than a normal Lightsaber had.

Notable weilders of the Sith Lightsaber included Exar Kun and Darth Maul. The Sith Lightsaber was a popular weapon for the Sith followers of Darth's Revan and Malak .
