Lightsabers are weapons used in the Star Wars franchise. First appearing in Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope (May 1977), they are plasma weapons fuelled by Kyber Crystals. Lightsabers are wielded by both the Jedi Knights and Sith Lords, though it is believed that the latter first created them. They appear in most of the series' entries and are widely regarded as the franchise's most known concepts.
In the Mod[]
In the Star Wars mod, Lightsabers can be constructed in Lightsaber Forges and used by the players committed to a Jedi or Sith legacy. They can be customized to feature different blade colors and features, both during creation and at a Lightsaber Modifier. Lightsabers can be ignited with the Equip Key and will inflict 10 points of attack damage upon targets. The player will also be able to block attacks and use various combat styles, including Dual Wielding and Saberstaff combat.
