A lightsaber gauntlet was a device possibly used by the Jedi Order and other Force-sensitives. It was attached to the user's arm and, when activated, emitted one or more lightsaber blades. They were like gauntlets worn by bounty hunters such as Cad Bane or Boba Fett, although attached was a mechanism which was able to emit glowing energy, very similar to lightsabers. Plo Koon was thought to be a user of such a gauntlet. Irek Ismaren and Uda-Khalid had similar weapons.
