The lightsaber wielded by Lacunas Subartuk, a legendary member of the Jedi Order, had a lasting impact on later lightsabers,^[1] as the design of its hilt became a generic type during the last decades of the Galactic Republic.^[2] Several Jedi Knights such as Plo Koon and Luminara Unduli built their respective sabers to resemble Subartuk's.^[1] Key features of Subartuk's design included a radiator casing segment in the shape of a truncated cone,^[2] a ridged handgrip, and a blade modulation circuitry.^[3] The Sith lightsaber built by Darth Maul, although based on the Iridonia Zhaboka,^[4] had similar similar aesthetics.^[3] The design would later go on to Sentinel hilt in the New Jedi Order founded by Luke Skywalker.^[1]

Behind the scenes

One of those generic hilts was created for the character of Mace Windu in the days of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and was reused by other, less prominent characters like Plo Koon and Luminara Unduli. In Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: The Visual Dictionary, Unduli's weapon was described as having a "common design."^[2] In the later book Star Wars: Lightsabers: A Guide to Weapons of the Force, that design was clarified as having originated with Lacunas Subartuk.^[1]
