Yord Fandar's lightsaber[4] was the personal yellow-bladed lightsaber owned by Jedi Knight Yord Fandar. The Jedi carried this lightsaber until his death at the hands of the mysterious Sith Lord known as "The Stranger" on the planet Khofar[3] in 132 BBY.[5] In the aftermath, the assassin Mae-ho Aniseya used the lightsaber to chop off her long hair in order to impersonate her twin sister, Verosha Aniseya.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
- "When our [lightsaber] colors were assigned to us, I was really excited to learn about the history of my saber, who had been connected to it, who might be connected to it in the future?"
- ―Charlie Barnett
Yord Fandar's lightsaber first appeared in the first two episodes of the Disney+ live-action series The Acolyte, "Lost / Found"[1] and "Revenge / Justice,"[7] which premiered on June 4, 2024.[8] The name "Yord Fandar's Lightsaber" was confirmed via a display case set up at San Diego Comic Con 2024,[4] although this article assumes the L in "lightsaber" to be lower case as per other named lightsabers.
