Mace Windu's blue-bladed lightsaber

A blue-bladed lightsaber was carried by Jedi Master Mace Windu during his membership of the High Council of the Jedi Order. An unexceptionally constructed weapon, the lightsaber had a metallic gray ribbed hilt with a conical segment of radiator casing on its pommel, and a red length adjuster for its blue blade.
Windu constructed the saber prior to his creation of another electrum-finshed, purple-bladed lightsaber in the years preceding the Clone Wars, and wielded the blue weapon during the Yinchorri UprisingJedi Council: Acts of War 3 of 33 BBY. In the following year,The New Essential Chronology during the Invasion of Naboo, the Jedi Master alternated between the blue- and purple-bladed weapons.Star Wars: The Phantom Menace: The Expanded Visual Dictionary By the invasion's end, Windu carried fellow Jedi Councilor Eeth Koth's lightsaber, for which he had exchanged his blue saber in the Concordance of Fealty, a Jedi ceremony demonstrating mutual trust. Eeth Koth returned the lightsaber to Windu shortly before the latter embarked on a diplomatic mission for the Galactic Republic to negotiate peace between the Red Iaro terrorists and the prince of the Lannik people on the Mid Rim world of Malastare.
