Curved-hilt lightsaber

Canon Legends version → Linked from 214 articles

The curved-hilt lightsaber was a type of lightsaber utilized by the Jedi and the Sith. Its curved hilt design allowed the lightsaber duelist to slash and lunge at their opponent with greater precision. Count Dooku wielded a curved-hilt lightsaber during his time as a Jedi Master and as the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus. His choice of weapon was emulated by his Sith apprentice, Asajj Ventress, who possessed two curved-hilt lightsabers which doubled as a saberstaff when joined together. After the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire, former Padawan Ahsoka Tano fashioned a pair of curved-hilt sabers with a more rectangular profile. As with her previous Jedi weapons, she crafted one standard and one shoto lightsaber.
