The 11 most incredible Star Wars Laser Wars

The iconic weapon of Star Wars is undoubtedly the lightsaber. Over time, we have however seen many variants emerge, which move more or less from the idea of ​​a Right sword of light. We think of the Dark Maul double blade laser, which caused a sensation in episode 1 (The ghost threat), or that of Kylo Ren, whose two quillons also project energy.

Other derived weapons are a little more specialized, and less known than the previous two. We think of the black saber, presented in the series The Mandalorianand in the color so strange, or in the shoto laser saber, seen in The Acolytewhich is a short sword similar to Japanese Wakizashi (complementary to classic Katana).

To go further

But this inventiveness sometimes goes much further. We saw it at the end of April during the Star Wars Celebration. During a trailer for season 3 of Visionswe could see a Twi’lek using a kind of laser articulated arm; Each branch then ended with a lightsaber. Certainly the strangest “laser” of Star Wars.

The appearance of this weapon in the trailer is a good opportunity to take a little overview of all other atypical weapons in the category of Laser Sabers. The selection does not claim to be complete, but lingers on the most surprising proposals, in our eyes. Be careful, everything is not considered canon.

The most bizarre lasers of Star Wars

Rey and its double blade articulated laser

It is a double blade laser, like that of Dark Maul, but each half of which folds up on each other. A vision of Rey’s dark side stages this weapon in episode 9 (L’Ascension de Skywalker).

Pique (or lance) Laser

It is the equivalent of a lightsaber, except that the handle is as long as a stick. This gives a kind of hast weapon whose point is the energy blade.

Laser knife

The blades of a lightsaber can be more or less long. The proof with the shoto, which is a little shorter than a classic saber. It also existed the laser knife.

Reva and its laser lighting turning with two blades

It is in fact a device which consists in assembling two laser sabers and, once connected, the device starts a rotary system which turns the two blades along the end of the circle now formed by the whole. The weapon is notably visible in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

Dark Noctyss and its Laser Burk with Falcille blade

An curved tear weapon, unique of its kind, used by Dark Noctyss, a Sith Lord. Instead of a tear of right energy, which extends in the axis of the guard, the tip is bending, which gives it a Cimeterre look.

Ezra Bridger a Son Hybride Saber Laser blasts

It is a lightsaber whose guard has been developed to also draw energy projectiles, such as a blaster. The young Ezra Bridger made this hybrid; We see on various occasions custody of the weapon with a cannon as well as the trigger that allows you to fire.

Laser Saber Rifle

The idea here is to combine a classic lightsaber with a rifle pulling energy discharges. The rifle has a special location to insert the saber, a bit like a charger, on the upper part of the weapon. The image below shows the saber in the horizontal position.

Vernestra Rwoh and its laser whip

For the first time, a laser whip was staged in Star Wars. More precisely, it is the first time that we have seen such a weapon in a work in real shots. From the trailer, in May, we spotted it. But it was when the episode six of The Acolytebroadcast on July 3, that we could really admire it.

The black saber of The Mandalorian

We have already mentioned it previously, but the weapon is so atypical that it would be surprising not to re -ister it here. It is sometimes called the Mandalorian Laser Saber. Its particularity is to have a black blade surrounded by a luminous halo.

Parasol in Form of Sabre Laser

It is not an official weapon, but it is so amazing that it was fashionable to mention it. She appears in the series Visionswhich brings together independent short films of animation studios. Here, we see at work a parasol in the shape of a lightsaber.
