10Ahsoka Tano’s White Lightsabers
First Appeared In: Star Wars Rebels
Although Ahsoka Tano had already wielded two lightsabers , a standard leaf blade and a shorter shoto saber , inStar Wars : The Clone Wars , the introduction of her white lightsabers inStar Wars Rebelswas fascinating . Specifically , the reason Ahsoka had whitened lightsabersearns them the status of one of the coolest lightsabers in DisneyStar Wars . In addition to being a nerveless new color — as there always seems to be atmospheric pressure to have a new invention inStar Warsprojects — Ahsoka ’s blank lightsabers affirm that she fall outside the Jedi / Sith binary star .
Ahsoka ’s Jedi journey has been an fantastically complicated one , and not just because she was Anakin Skywalker ’s Padawan learner . Rather , her dismissal from the Jedi Order , survival of Order 66 , and involvement in the Rebellion against the Empire all make her stand out as sincerely unique among the rest ofStar Wars’Jedi . However , Ahsoka ’s journey grappling with whether she sincerely is a Jedi is the most compelling , making her white lightsabers all the more meaningful .
9Baylan Skoll’s Orange Lightsaber
First Appeared In: Ahsoka
Yet another modern color , Baylan Skoll ’s orange lightsaber inAhsokais among DisneyStar Wars’coolest lightsaber designs . Baylan Skoll is a wonderful accession to the dealership because he stand for the eccentric of moral ambiguity that makesStar Warsinteresting . Yes , Baylan is clearly comfortable using the sinister side of the Force . However , he has a fear for the Jedi that stool him much more complicated than a typical Sith or even one ofthe Imperial Inquisitors .
Baylan Skoll is a grand add-on to the enfranchisement because he typify the eccentric of moral equivocalness that makesStar Warsinteresting .
The signification of an orange lightsaber remains ill-defined , although there is some trace that orange was a color wield by Dark Jedi . This would make sense in Baylan ’s case , as he does seem to be close to a Dark Jedi than any other categorization of Force - sore beings inStar Wars . Nevertheless , the upcomingAhsokaseason 2may reveal more about this colour and its import .
8Ezra Bridger’s Blaster Lightsaber

While Obi - Wan Kenobi may have disliked this design , as he found blasters"so uncivilized,“this saber was certainly amongStar Wars’coolest and was in maintain with Ezra ’s character . Ezra was a far yell from a conventional Jedi , and he ’d lived on his own as a scrappy , troublesome shaver during the Dark Times . It take sense that he would still bank on a blaster even after larn a lightsaber . Sadly , this invention did n’t nonplus around for recollective , and Ezra ’s lightsaber has changed multiple times since .
7Rey’s Sith Lightsaber
First Appeared In: Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

Many had hoped thatThe Rise of Skywalkerwould see Kylo Ren and Rey replacement places , with Kylo Ren embracing the clear side and Rey turning to the nighttime . Ultimately , this did n’t come in to pass ( although , arguably , that could ’ve made the Palpatine twist employment well ) , but interview did get a glimpse of what that could have looked like .
Haunted by the mounting grounds that her origin were more nefarious thanStar war : The Last Jediled viewers to consider , Rey had a sight of herself as a Sith , complete with abrupt teeth and a violent , double - bladed lightsaber . Unlike other double - bladed lightsabers , though , Rey ’s Sith sabre could have the two blades side - by - side or extended in the more traditional sense . The panorama including Sith Rey was very brief , but this pattern was nevertheless one of DisneyStar Wars’coolest .
6Kylo Ren’s Crossguard Lightsaber
First Appeared In: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
While Rey ’s double - bladed Sith lightsaber may have been cool , many agree that Kylo Ren ’s crossguard lightsaber was the coolest lightsaber aim in the continuation trilogy . In fact , especially compared toStar WarsTV appearance , the sequels did n’t get all that imaginative when it add up to lightsaber intention . However , Kylo Ren ’s crossguard stands out as nerveless even when equate withStar Warsshows and movies .
The best view of Kylo Ren ’s plan is the way it mirror his character .
The best panorama of Kylo Ren ’s design is the way it mirrors his character . Like Kylo Ren , the crossguard lightsaber is fluid , which gives it the chaotic - looking blade and satisfying sound . This instability is seen in Kylo Ren throughout the sequel trilogy , decent up until he accepts the light side of the Force once again and come back to Ben Solo . Prior to that transformation , though , he was prostrate to bout of anger , unpredictable , and dangerous .

In addition to being an awing design , this lightsaber comes as a surprisal . In the prequel movies , Jocasta Nu ’s theatrical role was minimally involved , and she mainly seemed like a soft - spoken librarian — albeit one who was obstinate in her insistence that her archives could n’t peradventure be miss Kamino or any other planet . However , she was distinctly concealing a much braver , more capable nature , as this lightsaber rifle is one ofStar Wars’most intimidate .
4Qimir’s ‘Dagger’ Lightsaber
First Appeared In: The Acolyte
Star Wars’newest Sith has already made a splashing inThe Acolyteand not only because he savagely murdered multiple Jedi in one instalment . In addition to shockingly being acquaint as a love interest to protagonist Osha , Qimir / the Stranger revealed a act of trick that make him a very compelling villain . In improver to using cortosis armor , a Legends concept that shorts out lightsaber blades , Qimir also uses Forbidden Forms in his lightsaber duel and has an unbelievable lightsaber design .
The Acolyte has just introduced a new type of lightsaber never before seen in hot - action Star Wars , and it breaks all the rules of lightsaber fight .
In fact , because his main lightsaber sword conceals a second , smaller ' dagger ' blade , Qimir was able to use the element of surprisal to foreshorten down Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon . Shorter saber are n’t new toStar Wars , as Ahsoka , Yoda , and other major characters have handle them .

Visionsalso introduced a number of originative lightsaber designs , including a lightsaber mold like a machete , a edition of a lightwhip , and an odd mike lightsaber . In fact , as the show was mechanically non - canonical , it may have been more loose to make entirely unequaled lightsaber designs than otherStar Warsprojects . Of all theVisionslightsabers , though , the lightsaber sunshade is the absolute coolest .
2The Inquisitor’s Spinning Lightsaber
The Inquisitor were a terrifying ( but splendid ) summation toStar Wars , serve Lord Vader and doing his bidding by hunting down and killing Force - sensitive existence , nipper included . In fact , their excrescence inStar Warsshows has only increased with time , suggesting their popularity . While their nature is therefore compelling enough , their lightsabers make them even cooler . Specifically , the Inquisitor ’s reddish lightsaber blade , which carry a circular centre , allowing the lightsaber to spin , is one ofStar Wars’coolest .
This brand has been shown in animation and in live action , and it is evenly intimidate in both . WhileObi - Wan Kenobimay have been criticized for the bouncy - activity versions of the previously animated interrogator , their lightsabers translated to the unrecorded - action projection screen perfectly .
