A discharge energy cell could also be installed to increase a lightsaber’s power output.
A blade power adjustment knob was sometimes installed to allow the wielder to vary the power of the blade. Activating the lightsaber usually required a button of some sort. A power insulator was installed on the hilt to protect the wielder from any energy discharges. The ideal number of crystals was three, though only one was required. The plasma was projected through a set of lightsaber crystals that lent the blade its properties and allowed for the adjustment of blade length and power output. High levels of energy generated by a high-output Diatium power cell was unleashed through a series of focusing lenses and energizers that converted the energy into plasma.
The lightsaber mechanisms were contained within the hilt. The hilt had a pommel cap at the bottom which sometimes held a backup power cell. However, the size of individual hilts varied drastically, as the weapon was tailored to the creator’s specific needs and preferences. The typical lightsaber hilt consisted of a metal cylinder between twenty-four and thirty centimeters in length. To wield a lightsaber was to demonstrate incredible skill and confidence, as well as masterful dexterity and attunement to the Force. However, in the hands of an expert of the Force, the lightsaber was a weapon to be greatly respected and feared. Due to the weightlessness of plasma and the strong gyroscopic effect generated by it, lightsabers required a great deal of strength and dexterity to wield, and it was extremely difficult-and dangerous-for the untrained to attempt using. The hilt was also built similarly to his or her master’s lightsaber as a mark of respect. The hilt was almost always self-fabricated by the wielder to match his or her specific needs, preferences and style. The field contained the immense heat of the plasma, protecting the wielder, and allowed the blade to keep its shape.
The weapon consisted of a blade of pure plasma emitted from the hilt and suspended in a force containment field. This perception endured, despite the many conflicts with lightsaber-wielding Sith and Dark Jedi. The lightsaber also became synonymous with the Jedi Order’s values to uphold peace and justice throughout the galaxy. 1.jpg3ea4e573-aa43-483c-bc8a-21682f201ce9Original.jpg 1366×768 84.6 KBĭesigned as much for elegance in combat as for ceremony, the lightsaber, also referred to as the “laser sword” by those who were unfamiliar with it, was a distinctive weapon, the very image of which was inextricably bound with the mythos of the Jedi Order and their polar opposites, the Sith.
