What else? Like seriously, it doesn’t matter what era or how much CGI technology evolves, when you use the words sci-fi and weapon, chances are this is what will first pop into anyone’s find.

The legendary weapon of the Force-sensitive Jedi and Sith, lightsabers are perhaps the most iconic prop of the Stars Wars franchise. And hey, if you’re the most memorable thing about the Franchise that re-defined the entire genre, then that more than qualifies you as said genre’s coolest weapon.

Powered by the rare kyber crystals, this laser sword is the chosen weapon of those who forge a strong connection with the Force. Both the Jedi and the Sith commission this as the main armament of their members, with force-users all over the galaxy training in different styles to get the best out of their chosen weapon.

Both aesthetically speaking and in terms of its icon value, no other weapon can top the lightsaber.
