Anakin Skywalker's first lightsaber was the first lightsaber owned and built by Anakin Skywalker. It had a blue plasma blade, chunky controls, and thick ridges on the handle.[6] While Skywalker was fighting his way through Poggle the Lesser's battle droid foundries on Geonosis, his lightsaber was destroyed by a mechanical cutting arm. Shortly thereafter, the Battle of Geonosis occurred, effectively starting the Clone Wars.[1] Sometime prior to the Battle of Christophsis, Skywalker built himself a new lightsaber.[7]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Anakin Skywalker's first lightsaber first appeared in the 2002 canon Star Wars film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.[1]
There is some inconsistency regarding when Skywalker first built the lightsaber. He used his first lightsaber throughout the Marvel comic mini-series Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Anakin, when he was twelve years old.[8] However, both Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know and its updated edition state that he built the lightsaber on Ilum at age fourteen.[9][3]

Since Skywalker's earliest known use of Obi-Wan and Anakin 1, in which he was 12 years old according to Obi-Wan and Anakin 2, he had to have created it by 29 BBY.
