| - Revan's lightsaber was the personal double-bladed lightsaber of the Jedi Guardian and Dark Lord of the Sith Revan. Inspired by his study of arcane lightsaber forms, particularly the double-bladed variation employed by Exar Kun, Revan constructed this weapon and utilized it to great success in the Mandalorian Wars. Inspired by their leader's weapon, many Revanchists eschewed their traditional single-bladed weapons in favor of constructing their own double-bladed copies of Revan's famous weapon. The "Jedi Apostate," Suri Sunrunner, and the "Jedi Exile," Meetra Surik, were among the Revanchists who did this, though their weapons employed the green color crystal of their branch of service, the Consulars. Revan's lightsaber contained a number of rare focusing crystals seldom employed by most Jedi. These included a Solari crystal, and an even more rare Upari crystal. These crystals gave Revan's weapon an impressive edge over most traditionally constructed lightsabers, which proved particularly important in his battles with Jedi during the early days of the Jedi Civil War. With Revan's capture at the hands of a Jedi task force spearheaded by Bastila Shan, the weapon found its way into the hands of the Dantooine Jedi Enclave Council, who stored the weapon away for safekeeping. In its stead, a brainwashed Revan constructed a standard single-bladed lightsaber under Zhar Lestin's guidance, a weapon that accompanied Revan during the quest for the Star Forge. Revan's double-bladed weapon ultimately ended up in Jedi Archivist Atris's collection during the Dark Wars, just another artifact recovered from the destruction of the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine.
