10 Best Lightsabers In Star Wars History

8. Kanan's Lightsaber

Kanan Jarrus is by far one of Rebels' most interesting characters, a trait that's duly reflected in his somewhat unconventional lightsaber.

A survivor of Order 66 and a fugitive at that, Kanan chose not to reveal his weapon while on the run, preferring instead to use a normal blaster to retain a degree of anonymity during his time as leader of The Ghost. To further achieve that goal, Kanan fashioned a blade that separated at the emitter, making his the only lightsaber that needed to be assembled each and every time it was drawn.

It's a cool look though, and it served Kanan well throughout the series, with the Jedi duelling everyone from Darth Vader to Maul and beyond during his time with the Rebellion.

We know not yet what will become of Kanan by the time Rebels ends next year, but whatever does end up happening to him, there's no denying that he was a brilliant character, with an equally brilliant lightsaber.
