Split saber

A split saber was any type of lightsaber that could split into two separate lightsabers. Split sabers commonly came in the form of double-bladed lightsabers that could be split into a pair of single-bladed lightsabers. During the High Republic Era, the Jedi Keeve Trennis owned a green double-bladed lightsaber that she split into its component single blades for storage while not fighting. During the Clone Wars, Asajj Ventress, an assassin who served the Sith Lord Count Dooku, owned a pair of curved-hilt lightsabers that could attach together at the hilt. However, she rarely wielded her weapons in this fashion, doing so only briefly during the Battle of Teth. Several members of the Imperial Inquisitors, including the Third Sister, the Fifth Brother, and the Sixth Brother, used double-bladed spinning lightsabers capable of splitting into two blades. During the Imperial Era, former Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis wielded a split saber during his quest to try and rebuild the Jedi Order. Jedi Master Dagan Gera, who was placed in stasis during the High Republic Era, used a yellow-bladed lightsaber with similar functionality.

Other types of split sabers also existed, however. Towards the end of the High Republic Era, a Sith known only as the Stranger used a single-bladed lightsaber with an elongated hilt, which could be split into a full-sized lightsaber and a shoto lightsaber.
