Lightsabers are described as one of the most rare and mysterious weapons of the "Star Wars" universe and are generally used by the Jedi and the Sith. The standard lightsaber is a sword-like weapon that emits a blade of pure energy from its metal hilt which has no mass but can cut through almost anything and deflect blaster bolts. The core of the lightsaber is a kyber crystal, which according to "Star Wars" canon acts as the focusing element and takes on a specific color when it "bonds" with someone sensitive to the Force. Variations on the standard design include double-bladed lightsabers like the one wielded by Darth Maul (Ray Park) in "The Phantom Menace".
