“I didn’t know Mandalorians developed a type of lightsaber. We didn’t. This was one of a kind.” -Kanan Jarrus and Fenn Rau
The Darksaber was an ancient and unique black-bladed lightsaber created by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian ever inducted into the Jedi Order. The weapon was kept in the Jedi Temple after Vizsla’s passing, but members of House Vizsla stole the saber in a conflict with the Jedi during the fall of the Old Republic. The Darksaber was passed down, generation to generation, by the ancestors of Pre Vizsla, who held onto the weapon even after the pacifist ideals of the New Mandalorians replaced the warrior ways of Mandalore. From season 2 of the Mandolorian, this is a screen used Dark Saber seen being handled by multiple characters.
