This Weapon is Your Life
Recently, I was playing through KOTOR II: The Sith Lords again when I got to the point of opening Freedon Nadd's sarcophagus. When I discovered Freedon Nadd's lightsaber was inside, I was in awe. That was Freedon Nadd's lightsaber! Although he was Sith and evil, that was Freedon Nadd's lightsaber. I was unfortunate to have given it to Kriea and she took it when she left. I was really disappointed when I lost it because it was Freedon Nadd's lightsaber!

Does anyone else sit during ROTS and jump when Mace Windu and Palpatine's lightsabers go flying out the window? The first time I saw it i thought, "what happens to the lightsaber?!" I did this later with Yoda's when he was fighting Palpatine.

I view lightsabers not only as great weapons, but also, for a lack of a better phrase, "historical artifacts". Out of the people I know, I'm the only one who thinks "that was Freedon Nadd's lightsaber".

I really did this a lot when I was reading the New Jedi Order. What happens to Anakin Solo's lightsaber? If you've read the series, you would know what makes his lightsaber important (and it's not because it's Anakin Solo's lightsaber). That blade switched hands many times in the series and I always became alert when, for example, Supreme Overlord Shimmra pulls out a silvery handle, pushes a button, and a purple blade comes to life. I thought that was great. Anakin's lightsaber hasn't gone missing. In the end, it is placed inside a tree on Kashyyyk.

I wonder what it would be like if, lets say, Luke Skywalker or one of his students found Exar Kun's lightsaber. First, that would be awesome! Second, it most likely wouldn't work because of the millenia it has been gone. Third, what would Luke or the Jedi student do with it? If I was to find it, I would hold the thing dear and never let it go. Does anyone know what makes that lightsaber important and/or unique (for Star Wars history that is)?

I was wondering if anyone else does this. If you do, is there a certain lightsaber you've been fascinated with or would like to get your hands on? Mine would be Anakin Solo's lightsaber. Feel free to comment if you want B-)
