==History==
===Construction===
Around 29 BBY Padawan Anakin Skywalker traveled to Ilum where he found his kyber crystal, which he used to then construct his first lightsaber.
===Usage===
====Training sessions====
Following the construction of his lightsaber, Skywalker would return to Coruscant where he would participate in saber training sessions. In one particular session, Skywalker would alter the appearance of a Jedi training droid to mimic the appearance of Darth Maul and his double-bladed lightsaber. Utilizing all his skills, Skywalker would emerge victorious by bisecting the droid in half with his lightsaber.
====Mission to Carnelian IV====
Skywalker had his lightsaber when he and his master were investigating a distress signal.
====Inquiring about lightsabers====
Some time after his and his masters mission to Carnelian IV, Skywalker and Kenobi were about to spar in the Jedi Temple training grounds when Anakin asked his master why the Jedi use lightsabers as opposed to any other weapon powered by kyber crystals. Upon hearing this question, Kenobi told him the same thing Qui-Gon Jinn had told Kenobi; that wielding a lightsaber shows intent and that the user put thought behind wielding the weapon before drawing it, enforcing the idea that Jedi are protectors as opposed to destroyers.
====Rescuing Yoda====
When Grand Master Yoda was captured from Glee Anselm, Kenobi and Skywalker launched a rescue mission unbeknownst to them that it was actually a test for the two Jedi.Choose Your Destiny: An Obi-Wan & Anakin Adventure
====A memorable training session====
During Skywalker's training with Kenobi, the two engaged in a lightsaber skirmish in the Jedi Temple.
====Separatist crisis & destruction====
After Skywalker's mother was captured by Tusken Raiders, he tracked her to the Tusken's camp. As soon as he found Shmi, she died in his arms, which caused the Padawan to go on a murderous rampage. Wielding his lightsaber, he slaughtered the entire tribe, including the men, women and children.
After Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured by Count Dooku on Geonosis, Skywalker and Padmé Amidala launched a rescue attempt and infiltrated one of the Geonosian droid foundries. While fighting his way through the facility, Skywalker was knocked down and pinned beneath the machinery. He was able to free himself, but not before his lightsaber was cut in half by a descending mechanical blade. Skywalker was unaware the weapon has been destroyed until he attempted to activate it, remarking that Kenobi was going to kill him for not taking better care of the weapon.
