A blue-bladed lightsaber was wielded by the QuermianThe Living Force Jedi Master of the Jedi Order, Yarael Poof. It was powered by a kyber crystal. Poof wielded his lightsaber with significant dexterity—thanks to his spineless anatomyStar Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded—and expert-level skill, though the height disparity between him and opponents rendered him impartial in resorting to its use.
In 33 BBY, Poof jokingly refused to brandish his lightsaber during a training session with fellow Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and a group of younglings. During the Defense of Kwenn later that year, Poof used his lightsaber to help fight off pirate forces led by the pirate Zilastra.
