She is the last known owner of the saber before Moff Gideon appears with it in the show. Sabine Wren gave the saber to Bo-Katan Kryze, who by virtue of holding the weapon became the new ruler of the Mandalorians. Sabine Wren went on to use the Darksaber to fight Imperial soldiers on Mandalore when they tried to wipe out the Mandalorian race. (Another spoiler alert for The Rise of Skywalker: Kanan JarusвЂ™ voice - more specifically Freddie Prinze Jr.вЂ™s voice - is among those that Rey hears during the final battle of that movie, along with LukeвЂ™s, LeiaвЂ™s, Obi-WanвЂ™s, AnakinвЂ™s, Mace WinduвЂ™s, Quin-Gon JinnвЂ™s, YodaвЂ™s and others.) She trained to use the Saber under Jedi trainee Kanan Jarus.

In a 2013 episode of the animated series Rebels, a Mandalorian weapons expert named Sabine Wren found the saber on Dothamir, the planet where MaulвЂ™s crime syndicate was based, after the Empire took control of the galaxy. So itвЂ™s unclear what happened to the Darksaber between MaulвЂ™s battle with Palpatine and the rise of the Empire. But in that movie, he uses his red, double-bladed saber (as seen in Phantom Menace). He went on to become a crime lord (as seen in Solo).

Darth Sidious) and PalpatineвЂ™s new apprentice General Grievous. Civil War broke out on the planet.Дarth Maul later challenged his old master Palpatine (a.k.a. Maul won the Darksaber from Pre Vizsla, and the Mandalorians became divided over whether to follow Darth Maul, a non-Mandalore, or a Mandalore leader instead. (Maul survived using the Force.) Unfortunately for Pre Vizsla, Maul coveted the Darksaber and eventually the two dueled. Pre Vizsla and his clan helped save Darth Maul (the villain from Phantom Menace, who was an apprentice to Palpatine) after Obi-Wan Kenobi cut the Sith Lord in two at the end of that movie. The only way a person could become the master of the Darksaber was to defeat its previous owner. Whoever held it became the leader of Clan Vizsla, one of the largest clans on the Mandalorian planet. The Darksaber became an important symbol among the Mandalore. The Mandalorians later stole the weapon from the Jedi Temple when the Old Republic began to crumble. When he died, the Jedi took back the Darksaber and stored it in the Jedi Temple and the peace between the Mandalorians and the Jedi eventually fell apart. Tarre Vizsla eventually became the ruler of the planet Mandalore. Tarre Vizsla becoming a Jedi led to a short truce between the two groups. The size and intensity of the blade can, according to lore, change based on the userвЂ™s emotions.ДЄs discussed in the final episode of The Mandalorian, the Jedi and the Mandalorians were traditionally enemies.

Unlike most lightsabers, the blade of the Darksaber is angled and looks more like a sword. Tarre Vizsla created the black lightsaber during the rule of the Old Republic (before the prequels).

However, Pre VizslaвЂ™s ancestor, Tarre Vizsla, was the first Mandalorian to become a Jedi. Pre Vizsla was a terrorist who often fought with the Jedi. It made its debut in a 2010 episode of the Clone Wars animated series, carried by a man named Pre Vizsla (voiced, coincidentally, by Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau). And ( spoiler alert for The Rise of Skywalker) Rey builds herself a new, yellow lightsaber at the end of the most recent Star Wars trilogy.Д«ut the Darksaber has only appeared in Star Wars television series, never on the big screen. Jackson requested that his character Mace Windu wield a purple lightsaber in the prequel movies so that he could stand out during large fight scenes, like the one in the arena on Geonosis in Attack of the Clones. (Up until then, lightsaber fights had taken place exclusively in dim locales.) Filmmakers introduced a green lightsaber in Return of the Jedi so that Luke could fight with a saber that stood out against the bright blue sky of Tatooine in the scene where he, Leia and Han escape Jabba the Hutt. In the first two films, A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, sabers were exclusively blue (for Jedi like Luke Skywalker) and red (for devotees of the Dark Side like Darth Vader). Lightsaber colors have evolved along with the Star Wars saga.
