Lacunas Subartuk's lightsaber

The ligthsaber wielded by Lacunas Subartuk, a legendary member of the Jedi Order, had a lasting impact on the design of later lightsabers. During the last decades of the Galactic Republic, several Jedi Knights such as Plo Koon and Luminara Unduli built their respective sabers to resemble Subartuk's.

Behind the scenes
In the prequel trilogy of Star Wars, main characters like Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda had unique lightsabers. However, background Jedi shown in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith were equipped with generic lightsaber hilts, which came in three designs. One of those designs, which shares similarities with Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber, was created for the character of Mace Windu at the time of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. In the next two movies, Windu was given a new, more customized weapon, and the hilt design of his first lightsaber was used by other, less prominent characters like Plo Koon and Luminara Unduli.
