Lightsaber

About the Lightsaber

A blade of pure plasma held in a loop by a focusing crystal and a matrix of components no larger than a fist, the lightsaber is the signature arm of Jedi and Sith alike. The kyber crystal at its heart sings to its wielder, its color and resonance settled during construction, and it is that bond, not the hilt's machining, that makes the weapon so hard for the untrained to master. It shears through blast doors and blaster bolts with equal ease, yet weighs almost nothing, so it answers the wrist rather than the shoulder. Kenobi bloodied Grievous with one; Vader lit corridors of Tantive IV with another. In a duelist's hands its finesse rewards footwork and timing over brute force, and a single lapse of focus can cost the careless their own limb.
