"When I lent you that weapon, you lent me your own, as is our tradition."

―Eeth Koth, undergoing the Concordance of Fealty with Mace Windu^[2]

A blue-bladed lightsaber was carried by Jedi Master Mace Windu during his membership of the High Council of the Jedi Order.^[2] An unexceptionally constructed weapon, the lightsaber had a metallic gray ribbed hilt with a conical segment of radiator casing on its pommel, and a red length adjuster for its blue blade.^[1]

Windu constructed the saber prior to his creation of another electrum-finshed, purple-bladed lightsaber in the years preceding the Clone Wars,^[1] and wielded the blue weapon during the Yinchorri Uprising^[3] of 33 BBY. In the following year,^[4] during the Invasion of Naboo, the Jedi Master alternated between the blue- and purple-bladed weapons.^[5] By the invasion's end, Windu carried fellow Jedi Councilor Eeth Koth's lightsaber,^[6] for which he had exchanged his blue saber in the Concordance of Fealty, a Jedi ceremony demonstrating mutual trust. Eeth Koth returned the lightsaber to Windu shortly before the latter embarked on a diplomatic mission for the Galactic Republic to negotiate peace between the Red Iaro terrorists and the prince of the Lannik people on the Mid Rim world of Malastare.^[2]

Behind the scenes[]

Although the 2000 Dark Horse Comics series Jedi Council: Acts of War shows Mace Windu to wield a blue-bladed lightsaber during the Yinchorri Uprising,^[3] an image of the event in Kevin J. Anderson and Daniel Wallace's 2005 reference book The New Essential Chronology depicts Windu's lightsaber with a purple blade.^[4] Similarly, the blue-bladed saber's appearances in the 22nd^[7] and 23rd issues of the Star Wars comic book series^[8] were recolored purple when reprinted in 2010's Star Wars Omnibus: Quinlan Vos: Jedi in Darkness.^[9]

The lightsaber carried by Mace Windu in the Star Wars Tales 13 comic story "Children of the Force" has a purple blade, but a hilt resembling that of Windu's blue-bladed weapon.^[10]
