The first lightsabers came into being when the precursor Je’daii Order combined advanced offworld technology with a forging ritual, learning how to “freeze” a laser beam. The earliest known functional lightsaber was the First Blade, built on Tython prior to the Force Wars by an unknown Je’daii Master known only as the Weapon Master. Length of hilt is 12" from tip of emitter to the bottom of the pommel.
Lightsabers were used thousands of years before the age of the Galactic Republic, seeing use in the Great Scourge of Malachor. They were also used in the Battles of Rashfond and the Peacekeeping of Parliock.
Lightsabers consisted of a plasma blade, powered by a kyber crystal, that was emitted from a usually metal hilt and could be shut off at will. It was a weapon that required skill and training, and was greatly enhanced when used in conjunction with the Force.
