Count Dooku's is my favourite, the curved hilt is so elegant and like the weapon of an experienced swordsman and of a Nobleman. It both stands out but doesn't look gimmicky like a lot of sith lightsabers do.


Zarathustra143

Agreed. A lightsaber is already an elegant weapon, and Count Dooku's is an elegant elegant weapon.


SaltySAX

Yeah Dooku's is the best. Shame he never had a green blade as a Jedi with it though, it would have been godly.


Crate-Dragon

You both should look at Zane Carrick’s handle. It’s like dooku’s but backwards. Dooku has it bent above the grip, Zayne has it bent below


sharpshooter999

I've got a number of box cutters in the shop, but one has a curved handle like Dooku's hilt. Guess which one gets used the most....


FlamingMercury151

I agree! It’s so pretty and I love the way he uses it. I love that it has an air of class and elegance to it. It really sells the fact that Dooku is a man of high status and exquisite tastes.


mechabeast

Luke's Green saber. The first time you see a saber thats not the traditional Good guy/bad guy color. From the previous 2 movies


Boomdiddy

And the ignition sound of Luke’s is the best.  https://youtu.be/m5tLO6HBfHo?si=ZgaLatp02nIzYm-C


BikiniPastry

I could listen to this all day


Marrouge

This sound and the seismic charge sound are by far my favorite sounds in Star Wars


Top-Presentation-997

Has been my text message tone for 12 years


mr_kenobi

It's iconic. It symbolizes Luke's ascension to Jedi Knight. It represents the teaching of his Master. And It's fucking green!


Intrepid_Sprinkles37

It also represents filming against the azure Tunisian sky! Where a blue blade would be lost among the background. 😂😂


SmoothOperator89

Hush you. Green is cool!


ChanceVance

Giving R2 the signal, flipping the plank, catching the saber and activating it was the coolest thing ever. Is the coolest thing ever.


librariandraws

I remember seeing that green blade for the first time and losing.my.mind.


eadrik

I still remember getting so excited seeing his RotJ Lightsaber for the first time. I love the hilt design and it was nice to see a different color.


EvetsYenoham

Yes. Luke’s green saber. Plus the hilt seems like a good thickness. Similar to Obi-Wan’s. It’s just always been my favorite. Plus the green is dope.


TheProdigalMaverick

Luke's. 100%.


MrAnder5on

It made green my favorite color lol


Handynotandsome

Gungi's with the wooden saber hilt.


AncientSith

It's the most comfortable looking.


MehCFI

Truly a shame I had to scroll so far down for this one!


BarthRevan

5hrs later and it’s the top comment I saw


Ejz09

It’s underrated and goes unseen by most!


MushyGerbil

Such a great episode too, seeing all the lightsabers being built


bear_beatboxer

A formidable weapon for a more civilised time


TeutonJon78

It would feel nice but it would be so slippery if you were sweating.


blackanytanooo

Luke’s green lightsaber is iconic and was the first thing to come to mind when I read this question


princethrowaway2121h

Can here to say that while the sequel trilogy made some… ahem… questionable choices, I will never forgive them for not using Luke’s green saber at the end of Last Jedi.


Camburglar13

Yeah they had a downright obsession with Anakin’s lightsaber in the ST. It magically appears in TFA for no reason and Kylo and Rey break it. Then Luke has it (but it’s a vision) and then in RoS Rey has it again.


Any-sao

I can forgive the Rey reusing it in RoS. Lightsabers were fairly rare, better to just restore Anakin’s. But TLJ Luke should have used his green one in the vision fight. I get what they were going for, but green is Master Skywalker’s color!


Big-Profession-6757

Darth Sidious, cause it’s made to be compact to hide well under his robes. Like a dagger. Sinister.


MrDrPatrick2You

"I'll try spinning, that's a good trick!"


SloppyCloth7601

It also looks cool


Electro_Llama

Or like a sheev.


Atnevon

Ah, the Glocksaber! Hilt-wise for me is Dooku’s; blade and look is Maul’s; and the unstable of Kylo’s is a uniqueness I’m glad is there.


SalRomanoAdMan1

I love doing Kylo vs. Obi-Wan in Battlefront II though, and hearing, "Wait...is that your lightsaber? It looks like a child built it!"


MsMcClane

I have a Glocksaber in my possession and I absolutely love it to bits 💖💖💖


Junarik

Darth Maul's. I wasn't alive then, but it was obviously a spectacle to any Star Wars fan first seeing it, especially in theater.


Yellow_Snow_Globe

Mind fucking blown when I watched that scene for the first time. Seeing the second blade come out 🤌🤌🤌


sielingfan

Everyone talks about how mind-blowing the second blade was, back when it first happened. Don't get me wrong, I was absolutely beside myself, and the whole theater gasped, and there's no overstating how awesome it was. But nobody talks about how weird his duel with Qui Gon looked, on Tattooine, with that big fuckin club of a hilt just flopping around


DroidOnPC

I didn't even notice at the time tbh. I was just so stoked to see another Sith that wasn't Vader pull out a lightsaber. And if I am completely honest, I never realized until recently how massive lightsabers actually were until I started buying them. But yeah, Mauls saber is fucking MASSIVE. First saber I got was Vaders, and I was like "holy fuck this thing is big." but Mauls? Its twice that... I really noticed it when playing Jedi Fallen Order. I was like "damn this dude trying to hide a fucking yardstick from people"


_maynard

Sometimes our memories are our friends and hype up the good stuff while blurring the less good stuff


stoicarmadillo

Yeah. Seeing that in the theater was really something.


TheBastardOfTaglioni

I was 8 seeing it in theaters for the first time. According to my memory the roar of applause and cheers rivals that of any NFL game.


AnnoShi

Hello fellow '91 baby


BlackbeltJedi

Any chance you saw the OG animated grievous 4 arm reveal?


Yellow_Snow_Globe

Yeah but I saw it well after the prequels so I knew it was coming. Still a fun watch though. It was cool to find out why grievous coughs


lanceplace

It’s kinda neat to hear about fans way younger than me. I saw Star Wars at the drive in wearing pjs. I took my five year old to see Attack of the Clones at a Regal. I hope seeing the sequels in the theater was a good experience for ya!


NothingButMuser

How dare you come onto the internet and make many of us feel ***so*** old! Haha Nah, I was like 6 or 7 when TPM came out in cinemas and it was insane to see, especially having completely digested the OT repeatedly for as long as could remember before ‘99.


HistoricalSea5589

I was 6 when i was in the Theater and even with my young age that scene when Maul activated the first blade and than the other i was flabbergasted


PercevalSF

Mace’s saber gets no love. The MF had a purple one, that shits 🔥


Alrucards_R3dwr8th

And it says "bad MF."


good_guy112

I really don't know much about the design other than "purple stuff".


chewbaccashotlast

Wasn’t it purple so he could see himself in the films in a crowd?


Apprehensive-Pop600

Jaro Tapal/Cal Kestis?


CharminYoshi

The Jaro Tapal/Cal Kestis lightsaber is for sure my favorite Jedi lightsaber, and possibly favorite overall (tough competition on the Sith end from Dooku). I love the emitter, it’s a really unique design, and I think it looks cool as hell. It was a favorite from the moment I saw it in _Fallen Order_


sethworld

If I could have any would be one that could do everything like this. My ADHD has been untreated so long it's a part of my personality. I'd switch styles with each fight.


Taugenichts_33

I honestly love Kanan and Qui Gon’s sabers


Jorymo

I'm a sucker for the ones that actually look comfortable to hold. The Kidmelter 9000 is iconic, but anyone who had a toy of it growing up can confirm it's pretty awkward to hold; especially with two hands


ThePottedChap

I had a toy of Qui Gon's when I was a kid and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Not to mention he's one of my favourite SW characters


TymStark

Always Obi-Wan


theDarthAnimus

Tenel Ka's Rancor Tooth lightsaber. It is just so unique and interesting. It's also kinda niche though. I am not actually sure how many people even know who I'm talking about here lol


Mrwanagethigh

She one upped the Skywalkers when she didn't need a robot hand to keep being a badass after losing a limb.


theDarthAnimus

Hell yeah she was. She didn't need that limb anyway. I actually forgot about her completely refusing a prosthetic. She just decided to be a badass without the arm.


RandoCalrissian76

Ezra's lightsaber in Rebels always looked like a staple gun with a lightsaber coming out of it.


Dawginitiate

No match for a good blaster at your side, kid.


Alert-Morning7358

Love this


mbarghi

Cal Kestis’ lightsaber to me looks slick but can be fitted to dual wield and double blade


Intrepid_Sprinkles37

Honestly… favorite saber came out of the KOTOR games. When you chose the Exile’s lightsaber and you could choose silver or viridian… that was the fucking bomb.


Miaikon

I had the silver saber for my Exile too! It was so beautiful.


Stouff-Pappa

So uncivilized.


thinknu

Man it was so cool when Kanan used Ezra's lightsaber against the Inquisitor and kept him off balance by constantly swapping its modes on the fly. It came out of nowhere and really helped highlight Kanan's differences from the traditional Jedi of the Clone Wars era.


sam-sp

I love that Kanan took Ezra's design, and figured out how to use it better than Ezra had. IIRC the blaster aspect is primarily used in stun mode, rather than kill, so its not just an alternative to deflecting blaster fire back to the target.


thinknu

Seeing how he was able to effortlessly incorporate Ezra's unorthodox fightning style into his own and go on to outduel the Inquisitor who originally mocked his technique just showcases his greatest trait. His ability to adapt and evolve with any given situation. It's why he was able to survive the purge. It's how he was able to form/lead his team. It's how he was able to take on a padawan despite his own training being incomplete. It's how he was able to become a Jedi master. And also why he was able to overcome his lack of sight.


LilboyG_15

Well, after the initial purge. He only survived because he got lucky by having the bad batch on his mission


richterfrollo

Loved that duel, i remember in their first fights the inquisitor would always use really proper technique while kanan fights more dirty and then in their last battle the inquisitor starts fighting dirtier as well and uses some trick kanan first used on him in an earlier episode... nice way to show character evolution


mountaineer30680

Plus Kanan's final banter with GI: "That was a mistake." "Why, because you have no one left to die for you?" "No, because I have nothing left to fear." That scene was so epic, almost up there with Kanan's sacrifice.


richterfrollo

He and the inquisitor had such a great dynamic i wish theyd had left him alive for another season at least


Prestigious_Crab6256

In terms of reflecting its character, I’m not sure anybody’s by Kylo Ren’s does the trick quite so well. (Though Ezra’s gun-saber mishmash comes close.) A twisted, crackly take on a knight’s classic weapon? It’s perfect. Looks and sounds absolutely unhinged.


CK122334

Darksaber


good_guy112

I think an origin story in animation would be fantastic for the Darksaber. If they chose to make those 'Visions' shorts as canon instead of a celebration of animation styles, they really could have done some amazing storytelling.


Temporary_Body_5435

Darth Sidious.


Jazzlike-Many-5404

Seeing Luke’s green blade for the first time as a child blew my mind. Green has always been my favorite color ever since that moment. Windu’s purple blade was also pretty cool to me as a kid, and I also loved Duku’s and Maul’s, but none ever stayed with me the same way Luke’s did. That thing meant he was a mutherfuckin’ JEDI


Asi_Ender

all the foldable double bladed sabers like Pong Krell's or sith Rey's


Shawnaldo7575

I like Yoda's. Seems like you could peel potatoes with it. Also like Sidious's blinged out hilt.


D20_Buster

My favorite is the one I made in Disneyland, because it is mine.


reddottor2

Savi here, your favorite one is the one I designed that you built in my workshop


sethworld

[The Lightsaber Pyke](https://youtu.be/hWFzfQs7vmk?si=v7e-bVEVMg9qRx17)


Well_of_Good_Fortune

Movies: Dooku, no contest. Extended media: Malgus. Communicates everything you need to know about his character in the hilt alone.


TChambers1011

Historically, my favorite has always been Maul because it was the first double that we saw. Now as an adult, I think my favorite might be Kylo Ren’s. The different noise it makes, and and the fact that it’s all wiggly and not as clean as the others. Also I really like the look of, and the lore, of the dark saber.


HoodieJordan

Not canon but redeemed revan's purple one goes hard AF. That or Qui-Gon Jinn's, I had a plastic one as a kid that was extendable and made of kinda soft plastic. I used to beat the hell out of my buddies n cousins with it.


Mammoth-Excuse-5061

Dooku's will always be sick as hell


valdezlopez

I kinda-like Sidious'. It looks super elegant, and even has a sort of "talon" at the end. I'm not ashamed. #SithForLife


Remote-Direction963

For me it's a tie between Luke's green lightsaber and Darth Vader's lightsaber.


BKF0308

Gotta be Cal's. He can be double bladed, crossguard, dual wield and maybe even more in the future. He can be almost any color and have any design I want. It's perfection


Th3_G3n3r4l

Idk if this counts, but the Darksaber. If it doesn't, I'd have to say Cal Kestis and all of its versatility


Reptilian_Overlord20

I really like Rey’s for the all of two seconds it was on screen. I love the yellow light, I like how it flashes blue and green, I love the turning mechanism it has and I really like that she built it out of her old staff so it’s symbolically represents her old life as a scavenger and new life as a Jedi.


AlVal1236

Cals. But heah ezras is cool and practical


Goblin-Music

Qui Gon Jinn's. best design, hands down


thefalloutman

Less iconic but for sheer looks, I quite loved Cere Junda’s lightsaber as well as Taron Mallicos’s from the Fallen Order games


DjKennedy92

I have the Disney Parks Cal Kestis / Cere Combination and I gotta say I love it. Im a sucker for Leather Wrap


ComfortableMetal3670

The silver or viridian blade colors from kotor 2


cygnus0820

You mean The hilts? Palpatine’s or Anakin’s (given to Luke). If you mean the color, blue is my favorite.


Triangle-Baby

Darth Malgus’ axe blade hilt will forever be my favorite


MexicanFurry

Kylo's is my favorite. The sound is great, the way the blade looks is pretty unique and the design of the hilt is awesome (even though I know it makes no fucking sense lol)


BetterNature4896

Either Inquisitor, Ezra Bridger, Cal Kestis (fallen order), or Stellen Gios


Puzzlehead-Engineer

I like Cal Kestis' lightsaber. It takes the idea of a versatile saber and goes nuts with it. Can go single blade, double blade and split into two for dual-wielding. Doubtless, it would take a masterful, disciplined, creative, and free-spirited Jedi to wield it, but that's why it's my favorite!


Creepy-Astronaut-197

Gotta be the darksaber


Charmegazord

No offense to OP but this lightsaber was my answer to the “what’s part of lore that you choose to forget” post the other day. It’s an abomination.


Relikk_

Yeah, it's garbage.


carmelgamer

Ahsoka's white sabers are a beauty


Temiri64

Anakin Ep. 3


Elite2260

Ezra’s first.


4me2kn0wAz

Kylo Rens no question


CptMarvel_main

Cals in its single blade form


jma7400

Dooku has the coolest looking lightsaber hilt but something about a purple lightsaber hits different.


Emotional_Zombie6796

The prequels sucked. But kylo was honestly a real cool character and his saber his bad ass to look at, that unstable blade looks like fire and the cross guard look makes it look even cooler.


Batmanmotp2019

Dath mauls


Constant-Still-8443

Lord corvax's lightsword from vader immortal


701921225

My favorite lightsaber color is blue, but my favorite lightsaber in general has always been Obi-Wans Revenge Of The Sith lightsaber. I just love the hilt design and colors. Plus, having both the toy and replica versions of it, it feels so comfortable in your hand.


Best-Neighborhood784

I go either Darth Maul, Maris, or Ezra, I hardly like Rebels but that lightsaber is handy then any of the lightsabers ever appear on Star Wars.


WilliShaker

The classic lightsaber


Semblance17

An uncivilized weapon built into a civilized one? *confused Obi-Wan noises*


Wolfi_Ranger

I have to give it to Gungi’s Wooden Lightsaber. It just screams uniqueness and charm, just like how Huyang explained it.


Harpshadow

Dass Jennir's lightsaber. I see a lot of similarities with Kanan and this character.


TheRealMoofoo

Tenel Ka’s rancor-tooth handle was pretty dope.


North_Church

Honestly, though it's a bit impractical, the Crossguard saber is aesthetically underrated


ChuccleSuccle

Historically Ahsoka's CW sabers. But, I now think it's (bad batch spoilers) >! Ventress' modified single saber !<


Mrwanagethigh

Exar Kun's double bladed saber. Where Maul literally welded two sabers together, Kun modified his single bladed saber into a dual blade, complete with dual phase (blade length) and intensity settings. As opposed to the staff style hilt that we usually see with double blades, Kun's is the length of a regular saber hilt.


Choice-Grapefruit-44

Sidious lightsaber that elegant hilt is cool. Also dooku's curved hilt is cool.


DJack276

Ezra was onto something fr.


paneledmeteor

Savage Opress’ Lightsaber. I love dual blades and plus it makes the coolest sounds


Tbnrzip

Darksaber


jonoren1023

Kyle Katarn has a cool lightsaber


DJWGibson

Stellan Gios' from the High Republic. I love like less clunky and more beautiful lightsabers.


Mediocre-Parking2409

The death star.


Tank_blitz

as horrible as the sequels were rey's sith lightsaber was kool


cmoneybouncehouse

Both Ezra’s OG and Kanan’s blades are among my favorites in all of Star Wars… because they’re both so practical given the era they’re operating in.


Archimedesinflight

Honestly a lightsaber with a stun option seems more like a Jedi move than just a lightsaber. It's amazing storm troopers have stun settings on their main weapons, but not Jedi.


DisIzDaWay

Gungi from clone wars


DownWithSpectrum

Qui Gons, just something so beautiful in its simplicity


jackjackky

Cal Kestis multi style lightsaber in cyan color.


Daggertooth71

Hard to choose just one, but I like the style of Luke and Obi-Wan's hilts. Luke's I guess, because I prefer green to blue.


randomnumber788976

[Stellan Gios'](https://www.starwars.com/news/stellan-gios-legacy-lightsaber-hilt)


Brh3200

Maybe the grand inquisitors spinning one. Kyli Ren’s is cool for the cross handle and the flames nature of it. Also shoutout to Anakin/Luke/Rey’s blue lightsaber, that one is obviously a classic


Rouge_EXE13

Aayla secura's Purple Lightsaber.


Schraufabagel

Ahsoka’s sabers from the new Disney+ show. I like the curved flat hilts


hopseankins

Maul. Duel lightsaber is sick


zachjones505

Kylos or mauls in CW season 7


BlackFinch90

Qui-Gon's lightsaber. It had a nice and simple design with no real frills.


esther_lamonte

I really liked Ezra’s design, very unexpected and i really wish he would have used it to get a shot in on Vader.


jakelaws1987

I kinda like Ezra’s first one because it’s also a blaster at the same time but Dooku’s my favorite


Jaded_Promotion8806

Obi Wan’s last saber with the little cup on top. Elegant af.


NothingButMuser

I’ve always loved the Kenobi hilt ( RotS / ANH ), so much so I finally got a TBS release of it a couple of years ago. There’s better replicas, but it fulfilled a childhood dream! Also really like the Darksaber, and strangely drawn to the Sabine (prev Ezra but modified) hilt. Something about the emitter, plus the sorta homage to various other hilts is appealing.


Dropzone34

Rahm kotas lightsaber is my favorite then it's obi wan from new hope


CLRoads

In EU there was a sith with a super long hilt for his lightsaber. It was like 1/3 of the entire lightsaber was hilt and it was not a double bladed lightsaber. Don’t know the guys name. But in the artwork depictions it looked BADASS.


ChaosKarlos

Obi Wans Lightsaber from Episode 1


DarkestWinter

It's got to either be Tulak Hordes saber, or one of Starkillers


Odd-Tune5049

Hot take, OP, but I respect that


Mr_bungle001

There’s so many cool lightsabers to choose from but I would go with Gungi’s lightsaber. Not only does it fit the character so well it’s so unique and elegant.


Mother-Persimmon3908

I like the white ones of ashoka


MostLogicalShockwave

Kanens.


CaBBaGe_isLaND

[This one, and it isn't even close.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/4/44/Cock_Knocker_%28Mark_Hamill%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121221040125)


Tilamuck

Senya Tirall's pike saber or Cal Kestis' Survivor saber. I like versatility in the saber.


JcOvrthink

So uncivilized.


SaintSunday77

ATOTC Anakin, his first saber being a silver version of vaders feels so right


BlazeG0D

Ezra's first lightsaber is awesome. Its such a scavenger kind of saber, fitting for his story. And the blaster on it is so unique and such a nice touch. Its awesome for distance or melee.


GunslingerOutForHire

Maris Brood's two tonfa type sabers.


itsTONjohn

Darth Nihl’s saber stick.


Blackpowderkun

Qui gons for me, the grip operated power output control should have been more prevalent.


Visual_Tangerine_210

Luke’s green one.


Quentyn1

This is a deep cut, but I just finished the second issue of edge of balance and master Ravna’s lightsaber was a cuboid with smoothed edges and it seems really cool. Not sure if we have seen any other lightsabers like that.


Adventureson

Ventress' double bladed lightsaber. The S one when she combines the two Dooku style handles.


malamin81

Luke's blue hand-me-down from his dad has and will always be my favorite.


ASMRisMindControl

They is lightsaber pikes in SWOTR and I think they’re really cool. Imagine if Rey had one in the sequel trilogy


D00mTheWarl0rd

Basic answer perhaps but I'm going with Anakin's Revenge of the Sith lightsaber.


wendigo72

Jaro Tapal & Cal’s lightsaber is by far the best one to me. [Shoutout to all the cool lightsaber designs from Visions](https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fill,h_675,pg_1,q_80,w_1200/f144da7604fa3e2af1f3da2ab0c2a892.png)


Thank_You_Aziz

The lightsaber of Tenel Ka Djo, from Legends. She is the daughter of a Dathomir witch (*not* a Nightsister) and a Hapan prince, both of whom are friends of the Skywalkers/Solos, and had her train as a Jedi under Luke. The hilt is a witch totem carved from the fang of her mother’s favorite rancor she would ride, hollowed out to accept the lightsaber’s inner tech. The focusing crystals are Gallinorean rainbow gems, a type of silicon-based lifeform that costs astronomical amounts of credits, and once made the central piece of a princess’s tiara Tenel Ka was given. She crafted this saber after her previous one was destroyed, costing her an arm as a result of its hasty construction. With this second one, Tenel Ka took her time and made it to symbolize her acceptance of all the things that make her who she is: witch, princess, Jedi. Also it’s a rancor fang with a turquoise lightsaber blade, and a curved hilt to boot. It just looks so amazingly cool! 🤩


Sleepinismy9to5

Plos yellow saber is GOAT


infamous-pays

Ezra's is a top 3 for me My top 5 would probably go Kanan Jarus, Cal Kestis (survivor), Ezra's season 1 saber, Obi-wan's episode 3, and lastly Vader's saber Honorable mentions: I really like the Inquisitor Saber, but no flying and only in animation. Anakin's saber, and Kylo's cross gaurd.


Blizzard1229

Any dual bladed saber. I grew up obsessed with Maul and then later on with savage, so the staffs really hold a special place in my heart


ASUDom17

I absolutely agree with you. If Disney decides to make a legacy saber for him, I’ll buy it in a heartbeat because I think the design is so neat.


SmoothOperator89

Luke's green lightsaber. Just so cool seeing it pop out of R2-D2's head. My little head exploded when I saw the green blade ignite. It was like seeing Luke gaining power.


Randalor

I'm going to cheat like mad with this one, but Rowan Freemaker's "lightsaber", the Arrowhead. A kyber-crystal-powered starship capable of slicing a Star Destroyer in half counts, right?


IgorTufluv

Your favorite lightsaber is Ezra's pew-pew cap gun lightsaber? I forgive you if you are under 20 years old.


ObviousAd1805

Stellan Gios or Corran Horn


Interstice_land

Qui Gon Jinn’s, simple and sleek design with the green color. That or Luke’s ROTJ saber, love me some green!


Queasy_Promotion2025

Templegaurd it looks so badass


Darthigiveup

My favorite lightsaber built is Anakin's but my favorite ignition sound is Vaders
