Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A dual-phase lightsaber was a special variant of lightsaber that used one or a combination of focusing crystals to create a blade that could extend up to triple the original length with a simple activation. Unlike typical lightsabers, which often possessed a manual adjuster for reducing the blade emission, the dual-phased blade could be triggered in an instant, adding an element of surprise to catch an opponent off guard. Additionally, some dual-phase lightsabers also had a blade-width adjust. Gantoris wielded such a lightsaber, as did Corran Horn. Dual phase lightsabers could also have the ability to carry different crystals, and alternate between them at the user's discretion.
