Which lightsabers are found in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith? The film brings together the blue weapons of Anakin and Obi-Wan, Mace Windu's purple lightsaber, Yoda's green blade and the red Sith weapons of Dooku and Sidious. Perhaps the most striking detail is that Anakin is still fighting on Mustafar with a blue lightsaber, even after he has become Darth Vader. In this guide you connect the most important characters and duels to the matching designs from the KenJo Sabers range.
What's Revenge of the Sith about?
In the final phase of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi rescue Chancellor Palpatine from the hands of the Separatists. Victory brings no peace: Anakin is becoming more and more divided between the Jedi, his bond with Palpatine and fear of losing Padmé. When Palpatine reveals his true identity, the Jedi Order falls apart. Order 66 targets the former protectors of the Republic. The political revolution culminates in the birth of the Empire and a personal drama: Obi-Wan must face his own pupil.
Famous Jedi from Revenge of the Sith and their lightsabers
Anakin Skywalker: a blue weapon on a dark path
Anakin starts as a war hero and ends as a student of Darth Sidious. His lightsaber does not change directly with his new identity. During the fight against Obi-Wan on Mustafar, he uses the blue weapon that subsequently becomes connected to Luke and Rey. This contrast makes this lightsaber so meaningful: a well-known Jedi design is in the middle of Anakin's fall.
Saga Royal Edition, inspired by Anakin Skywalker, is an appropriate focal point for this story. The shiny metal parts and dark grip are recognizable within the Skywalker designs. Anyone who specifically wants to display the confrontation on Mustafar does not automatically choose a red Darth Vader lightsaber.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: loyalty versus responsibility
Obi-Wan has to deal with the fact that the friend he trained is partly responsible for the demise of the Jedi. Their duel is not a simple encounter between strangers, but the break between two people who have fought together for years. His blue lightsaber is opposite Anakin's blue blade, so that the difference between good and evil is not reflected in the colour here.
In this selection you will find General as an Obi-Wan-inspired model. For a collection around a very specific film handle, it is wise to compare also the different Obi-Wan lightsabers. His design from the later prequels differs from the handle he uses as a young Padawan.
Mace Windu: the confrontation with Palpatine
Mace Windu takes action when the Jedi learn who Palpatine really is. His purple lightsaber makes his duel with the Sith master immediately recognizable. The meeting will also be the decisive moment for Anakin. Korunnai is the Mace Windu-inspired lightsaber that allows you to include this side of the film in your collection.
Yoda: the Jedi master facing Sidious
Yoda survives the attack on the Jedi and confronts the new emperor. His compact green weapon contrasts with the scale of the battle in the Senate building. Then he chooses to survive and preserve knowledge for a next generation. View Teacher for a Yoda-inspired lightsaber alongside the larger hilts from this film collection.
Which Sith are in Revenge of the Sith?
Count Dooku is still Sidious's apprentice at the beginning and fights with his red lightsaber with a curved hilt. Anakin kills him during the rescue. Later Anakin takes his place under the name Darth Vader. Darth Sidious is therefore the constant factor: he directs the succession and turns his opponents against each other.
In Episode III Sidious also shows his own talent as duellist. Chancellor, inspired by Palpatine and Darth Sidious, is in line with that contrast between the apparently respectable statesman and the hidden Sith. The Darth Vader helmet fits precisely with Anakin's final transformation, not the appearance with which he spends most of the film.
Frequently Asked Questions about Episode III Lightsabers
Is General Grievous a Sith because he uses lightsabers?
Grievous is a cyborg and military leader who uses Jedi weapons as trophies and combat weapons. His multiple arms and collected lightsabers make him dangerous, but they don't make him Sith or Jedi.
Why does Anakin's lightsaber stay blue on Mustafar?
He still uses his existing Jedi weapon. A change of loyalty does not change the colour of the blade itself. After their duel Obi-Wan takes the weapon with him; in A New Hope that same story gets a new chapter when Luke gets acquainted with it.
