EVERY SINGLE Lightsaber Type/Variant Explained! 

Lightsabers and their variants have to be some of the coolest fictional weapons imaginable

Crossguard lightsabers would be functionally better if the cross guard was made of a lightsaber resistant material instead of plasma. That way it can protect the user's hand without endangering further hence defeating its purpose Edit: *sigh*… yes like beskar. You don’t need to mention it

Dual-phase Splitsaber with Shoto and Crossguard modes. Cal got himself one of the most practical sabers in Star Wars.

13:12 Well, if we’re going there I’d say my favorite lightsaber is the one from the Phineas & Ferb Star Wars episode where they heavily mod their lightsabers to an entertaining degree.

One variant wasn't mentioned: the Long-handle Lightsaber. Meant to resemble long-handle swords like the nagamaki, pudao, and the swordstaff of different ancient cultures, this lightsaber variant provides more leverage and handling than standards lightsaber. It can be used both as a sword and staff during combat. Darth Chratis, Darth Nihl, and Zao are among those who have used this variant. Hell, I have mine in a yellow blade made by Ultrasabers and brought it to a ComiCon in Indy earlier this year, and I love it! The people at Ultrasabers were there and were kind enough to upgrade my baby with newer parts!

12:59 Golden rays of the glorious sunshine Sending down such a blood-red light

By far my favorite Saber design was Asajj Ventress' curved hilt that joined into a Saber staff

I think the coolest lightsaber variant is the light saber nunchaku, which was wielded by Ventress in the DLC for the classic Star Wars: Battlefront 2. However, I would choose the hinged double-bladed lightsaber like the Temple Guards.

I’m interested in hearing more about things such as vibroblades, in relation to how they differ & resemble a standard saber. Also, more about whips. This was interesting and at parts, funny. (That bit at the end with the Lego Maul octosaber!) Thank you

Forgot the ones only seen in the Phineas and Ferb star wars crossover episode

The telescoping lightsaber pike from the Knights of the Eternal Throne trailer is the variant that I'd love to see brought into canon. It can be used as a normal lightsaber, or you can extend the handle for extra reach.

I've got two that you missed. The Death Star could be seen as a sort of over powered Lightsaber Rifle as it used Kyber crystals to power it's laser. And the "Contained Energy Axe" was a lightsaber axe.

The Darksaber's creator wasn't the ONLY Mandalorian Jedi, he was the FIRST.

I’d use a standard double blade lightsaber, with a yellow crystal. Simple, but effective

(uses a Light Parasol) I'M MARY POPPINS, Y'ALL!!!😆😆😆

You forgot the war dragon rider lightsaber. It's a saberstaff, but has a small blade in between the ends, for a total of three blades.

Crossguard lightsabers were a mistake, unless the emitters are made of something lightsaber resistant. It doesn't accomplish the function of a crossguard. In all other lightsabers, the emitter is a weakness. You slash it, the blade goes out. Kylo Ren's actually makes sense. It's making up for other faulty characteristics. Other than that, it comes off too much as someone just thinking it would look cool.

The gauntlet one that was gonna be wielded by plo would have been awesome to see

Split saber, green crystal. I love the idea of Jedi consulars and the split saber is just so efficient.

I'd definitely use Cal Kestis's saber, its just got so many options

I would use a double bladed lightsaber, with the bottom saber being a dual-phase shoto. It'd mainly be used single-bladed as a standard saber with a somewhat longer hilt as to keep the second hidden. The shoto would detach and as to be used as two separate sabers. Only reason I got this idea is due to a Darth Vader toy from when I was kid that featured a huge hilt with a small dagger like saber that could be removed or added to the bottom.

Call me Gen. Grevious because I CHOOSE ALL OF 'EM

I fr loved the tonfa ligtsaber bc of how the design looked...then next is the dark saber. But I mean the other sabers are just insane and I never knew there was a lot of different designed lightsabers.

This isn't necessarily about the video itself but I really really liked the art of Ezra on the cover, it looked really cool.

Ezra should have kept the hybrid blaster-saber. Yes, he had grown as a Jedi and didn’t need the extra trick to keep up, but he was also not in a position where he should be turning down any advantage. Also, it lets him stun people, which frankly is a rare option for lightsabers to have.

So i kinda have an idea for a lightsaber. Similar to ezras and some inquisitors, it would have a hand guard like a regular saber, but instead of it being metal, it would have an electric current that could block other lightsabers and could be used as a stunning attack I also love the idea that a jedi or sith could replace a missing arm with a lighsaber. It wouldn't be good at blocking blasters, but it would be a suprise to anyone fighting them up close. Like an assassin but star wars.

light pike all day, historically, long pointy stick win, and being able to mod the shaft so you can utelize the shorter blade for CQC would be an added bonus

Great content man! I was hooked after 1 video. Keep it up my force wielder brother

I have three things to say about this video. 1. You forgot to mention that in the Legends timeline, Luke Skywalker used a Shoto saber to counter lumia's lightwhip. 2. That parasol lightsaber and lightsaber gauntlet looks awesome. I wish they made a toy of those. 3. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi must have had waterproof lightsabers in Episode 1, seeing how they were able to go swimming on the way to the Gungan city and use them later to fight battle droids. Also, Luke must have waterproofed his lightsaber prior to Episode 5.

Thank you so much for this!!!

I'd use a guard shoto, with reinforced areas of either vibroblade or beskar to assist in deflecting other sabers.

I think it would be cool to see some of these as stances in jedi survivor sequel especially light saber pike

Wouldn't a light-pike using a magma kyber crystal retain all the advantages and minimal disadvantages? Greater reach Dangerous blade that spits lava is now near your enemy and not you Still heavier and slower Minimize the danger by using beskar for important parts of the hilt this is the weapon I'd want for a a duel I'd probably want a dual-phased saber with a longer beskar hilt to allow for more varied combat in general.

Love your videos

A fine addition to my collection

The Death Stars, Star Destroyers on the Exagol and Star Killer Base can also be seen as lightsabers. after all, they too are powered by Kyber Crystals.

Love watching you Vlad

I’d love an axe or warhammer variant. Like a saber that could be supercharged from the force from a Jedi’s last stand. That’d be cool

i was expecting a lightsaber bayonet attached to a laser musket rifle

Lord Corvax’s lightsaber can be considered a single-blade saber or a new type ?

I really liked the blade used by the guy in the star wars visions episode where he couldn't retract the blade

I feel like cal kestus’s lightsaber should’ve been an honorary mention. I could change forms into single, staff, dual and cross gaurd. I don’t think any other lightsabers have EVER done that before.

I would personally use a double-bladed lightsaber but rarely ever use the second blade; meaning I could have the benefits of the longer hilt and keep a hidden blade to surprise unsuspecting enemies

All of these lightsabers are so cool AM so excited to see more New lightsaber types in future of star wars

There are so many lightsaber variants to choose from, but my favorites are the Dual Phase Lightsaber, Split Saber, the Standard Lightsaber, the Lightsaber-Blaster Hybrid, and the Saber Cane, but if i had to choose only one, it would be the Split Saber. I would be a Jedi wielding the Split Saber in combat against my enemies

Would love too see more green an purple in the future, i also didnt know there was orange lightsabers so that was cool

That umbrella light saber will forever be my favorite.

I'm digging the flicker fase with red Crystal dishonorable saber maybe so but huge advantage

What about the 5-bladed spinning lightsabers from the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars crossover thing?

I would wield a crossguard for sure. I just love its cool look.

oo a flickerphase saber or foil sounds like quite a handy idea ;)

I really like the splitsaber!!

I like the idea that all lightsabers have actual blades, like the dark saber, but the plasma glow is so much brighter that you cannot usually see the blade edge. This helps explain why, in the movies and such, some things would get hit by a light saber and not actually get cut, but still take some heat damage

Definitely would use a Splitsaber. The idea of having two lightsabers turn into a dual with out the clunkyness of a dual lightsaber sounds op

My favorite Lightsaber variates are Doubleedged Lightsabers, Rotating Lighsabers, Lightwhips and Darksaber, you can see a pattern here...

I like the whip, scythe and the gauntlet they look fun to use ngl

If I had to choose a lightsaber I think I would want a Zweihandler styled cross guard saber in either black or white. Meaning a triple handed length handle with a blade between 5 and 5 and a half foot long similar to my family sword. We’re Poles and have a claymore styled great sword that was passed down our family line until it ended up in my father’s hands and finally me. It’s seen warlike and decorative purposes. It was even involved in the resistance of the nazis and survived the Warsaw insurrection. I think I would be trying to pay homage to it.

Lowkey the split saber seems like the one for me

I would wield curved, flicker phase split sabers. One purple, one orange.

I’m sure yoda “hated” it 😂😂 considering his wise words of “fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to sufferingggg” 🤔

I kind of think the standard lightsabers strength is in it's elegant simplicity, anything more only makes it gimmicky.

I would use a double-bladed lightsaber, hinged double-bladed lightsaber, and/or a splitsaber. They would be ideal for the completely new form I’d create, which involves using The Force to rapidly spin the blades in front of you as a shield and also using acrobatics. Overall the form would be primarily a more defensive form, but at times, used highly aggressively during offensive manuvers

If i could merge all of these lightsabers into one id be pretty happy

Hard choice given their are multiple interesting ones but i think double bladed that can be split into two offers the most versatile option so csn use a double bladed, two sabers or a single one I also think should do a video on none saber melee weapons

The Lightsaber Rifle is basically Star Wars’s version of the Wing Gundam and Wing Zero’s buster rifles from Gundam Wing, but smaller. Like the buster rifles, it still packs one helluva punch. However, like the Wing Gundam’s (TV version) buster rifle, it’s only limited to a few shots.

I'm curious, what about the force saber made it require use of the dark side? I love the thought of a light foil and force saber combo

I'd personally go for a saber-pike/shoto blade combination. I can hold the smaller blade while I'm using the pike and use it to defend if someone closes the gap.

The light halbert. Its a cross guard saber with a long grip and sabers out of both ends but one with an equidistant cross guard snd blade. Super impractical but pretty badass looking with the halbert blade end dragging behind you.

Cal kestis' lightsaber: i dont know what it is but it works

We can see in a new hope that luke's lightsaber has a flat side when he first switches it on, as it was originally designed to mimic a real life sword

Well. My main jedi in swtor uses a lightsaber hilt that has holes in it similar to heated exhaust tubes has yellowish orange crystal that looks exactly like a lava blade and also the incinerator tunning which makes the hilt look like it’s super heated at the emitter section and the blade looks like it produces a lot of heat. So out of all these I guess I’d use a lava crystal even though my jedi is light side. I rotate between that and a white cross guard lightsaber

@red five... the page at the very beginning of the video. Where dose that come from?

I have an idea for a better blaster-saber. A bayonet hand canon: get two kyber crystals, one for a shoto-saber bayonet, and the other for a kyber blaster. The hilt can adjust between straight or curved (though to do it mid combat would require special designs)

I like the second form of light saber pike and light foil.

the spinning dual lightsaber has to be the goofiest, you can just... fly away from combat by spinning them fast enough, that's like saying if you held a helicopter propeller with a powerful enough motor to spin it, so you can fly away, it's just so disjointed from any practical dueling or combat techniques, that's why you HAVE to love it.

Admit it. Cal kestis has the coolest saber

I'm here almost entirely because I just purchased a pair of guard shoto, so that answers that question.

So the broad saber is just the crucible from DOOM

i would actually put attachments on my sabers and maybe merge/fuse/join them together. Such as, my lightsaber gauntlet would have the abilities of every other lightsaber like it can blast, act as a whip, be used as a spinning saber shield, etc.

I hope at some point they do another blaster hybrid saber in the style of the Gunblade from Final Fantasy.

The unexpected transition to Lego darth maul killed me 💀

Straight up calling it “laugha” 🤣

A separable double bladed dark saber would be my dream

Either the light whip or the double-sided spinning blade, being able to fly could give a big advantage to a fight, imagine just floating over someone and attacking them from behind before they knew what happened.

Lightsabers are awesome 😎

I always find myself falling in the gray Jedi zone. As such I would chose a Duel-Phase Light Saber, with a Terresta (dark core) orange Crystal modified with a red Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse Lightsaber.

Lego Darth Maul goes hard with that octo blade ngl

The protosaber is literally what the jack smith has, which means they are close to making a real light saber

The blaster hybrid saber reminds me a lot of the weapon used by the title character in the Ulysses 31 cartoon.

It’s funny that octoblade is not the most ridiculous idea on this list. That title goes, imo, to the umbrella

For all the lightsabers with cables, why don't they just run it along your arm? that way you don't have a giant tangley mess that disables your lightsaber when cut.

ima double-sided all day every day love darth maul and his saber but i find it to be useful as you get more control in defence and more attack in general btw i follow u on tt and on yt love ur stuff so much

I'd use far killer for dealing with long range attacks and a broad saber and the technique trakata for up close and personal

id choose the lightsaber pike or umbrella but if i could make my own it would be a trident design with the side blade being large vents that can spun like a shield O and an adjustable length hilt

I would kill for this to be a series. A lightsaber academy like cobra kai or something

I'm definitely taking the armor

I would definitely have a Broadsaber kitted with either a lava kyber crystal or the acidic kyber crystal and a scythe saber with either of those 2 kyber crystals as well.

lightsaber whip dual would be insane in live action

I would most likely want the sickle bladed lightsaber or the great lightsaber which are both very different but I feel like I'd have fun and be good with both

The helicopter blade is the dumbest thing ever in Star Wars.....
