Light Saber

The famous light sabers used by Star Wars' Jedi's, are known for their many unique designs. Each Jedi is known to design his own personalized light saber though it has been noted that some groups of Jedi will build similar light sabers to show a special bond between them.

Luke Skywalker's famous light saber in the First Star Wars movie was originally built by Anakin Skywalker. This saber was known as a Padawan. Over the years, Kenobi made some slight changes to the light saber and finally it was passed on to Luke Skywalker. During the 2nd Star Wars movie, Lucky attempted to build his own light saber. Unfortunately, it didn't work. He later modified his father's light saber and used that one with better success.

Luke went on to not only lose his light saber but his hand along with it. He returned home and while in Obi Wan Kenobi's hut, constructed another light saber. Later he will put this aside to use a more brutal design in order to defeat the Emperor.

Darth Vader is known to be from the Dark Side and carried a special light saber which he built. Later Obi Wan Kenobi takes Darth Vaders light saber and gives it to Anakin's son, to teach him the ways of the Dark Force.

Obi Wan Kenobi replaced his first lost Padawan light saber with a unique and beautiful saber. Lost for a time, Obi Wan retrieved his light saber from a 600 foot shaft. Later, this special light saber was destroyed. Obi Wan had several more light sabers, one which Luke Skywalker recovered and kept as a reminder of Obi Wan, his former master. As the years passed, Obi Wan modified his light saber. Though the saber kept the same basic appearance, it was a lethal weapon and never destroyed.

Many companies offer imitation Star Wars light sabers. They can range in price from $10 to thousands. The actual light sabers used in the Star Wars movies can be found for auction. If you are a collector of light sabers, you could find yourself spending more than $200,000. for Luke Skywalker's light saber.
