The popular Old Republic era sith lord also wields one of the coolest lightsabers we have ever seen. While Revan used a variety of lightsabers, the most notable ones he used were during his time as a Sith and later after his redemption. This is the latter saber, which Revan made use of throughout his journeys in the expanded universe.

No list of lightsabers would be complete without Darth Maul’s. When Maul’s saber was introduced in the Phantom Menace all those years ago, it was a brand new concept. Fans were awed, as something like this had never been done. The addition of Darth Maul’s double-bladed saber (also known as a saberstaff) revolutionized the Star Wars universe.
5 - Ahsoka’s White Lightsabers

Introduced to us in the Rebels TV show, Ahsoka’s lightsabers are unique because they capture her personality perfectly. The blades are white, a perfectly neutral color, which resembles Ahsoka’s own neutrality after leaving the Jedi order.
