Parts for a lightsaber include modulation circuits, an energy gate, blade emitter shroud, activators, handgrips, and blade adjusters. Metal is commonly used when building the hilt, but there are other materials that have been used like Brylark tree wood and hand-crafted gems. They can also deflect blaster bolts as well as absorb Force lightning if wielded by a powerful enough user who has built their blade to withstand that kind of attack. The personal touches given by an owner are specifically geared towards their fighting style, personal taste, and objective for the blade itself.Ī lightsaber can slice through just about anything, from skin and bone to metal ship doors. The reason behind this is due to the crystal that is used to power it, along with the skill used by the Force-wielder in creating this magnificent weapon. No one lightsaber is like another even if it looks similar in shape and size.
Lightsabers in the Star Wars universe exist for the offensive, defensive, and celebratory use.
