A double-bladed lightsaber was the weapon of choice of the Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun thousands of years prior to the time that Darth Maul would construct his own double-bladed lightsaber.[1] According to the Qel-Droma Epics, double-bladed lightsabers dated back to Exar Kun's own use of the weapon.[2]
