Which Star Wars Characters Wield a Red Saber?

It can be tough to remember which character uses which lightsaber in Star Wars. There are many colors to choose from. This article series will cover three famous Sith Lords with red lightsabers. We will discuss their backgrounds, fighting styles, skills, and special talents.

Darth Vader

Darth Vader, the Sith Lord, is named after the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. He is one of the most famous characters in the Star Wars universe. Some of his noteworthy accomplishments are as follows:

  •      Master to Ahsoka Tano
  •      Led the Empire’s eradication of the Jedi Order following Order 66
  •      Co-founded The Inquisitorius
  •      Defeated Obi-Wan Kenobi during a battle on the Death Star
  •      Defeated Darth Sidious during a battle on the Death Star II

When Anakin Skywalker's wife Amidala got pregnant, he transitioned to the Dark Side. Skywalker starts to have terrible visions of Amidala dying during childbirth. Anakin feels he must turn to the dark side of the Force to prevent this from happening. Afterwards, Darth Sidious took him under his wing and christened Anakin as Darth Vader.

Darth Vader was badly hurt when he fought Obi-Wan Kenobi on the planet Mustafar. To move again, he needed major cybernetic surgery. At this point, Darth Vader is shown in his most iconic form—a black robotic suit topped off with a terrifying mask and helmet—having come of age.

After learning that his spouse had died, Vader felt angry. Still, he continued his duty to the Empire. He ruthlessly hunted down the last Jedi survivors when Order 66 was executed.

Vader taught the Inquisitorius how to kill Jedi. This was to help him destroy the Jedi Order.

Vader was a great duelist. He used Form IV combat moves. He skillfully dodged blaster fire and struck with smooth, easy movements.

After undergoing surgery to equip himself with armour and cybernetic implants, Vader's combat style changed from acrobatic to forceful strikes from a steady stance. He also possessed fantastic force capabilities, frequently choking and pushing with force.

Darth Maul

Darth Maul was a lethal Sith assassin who gained notoriety for his appearance, demeanour, and general fighting prowess. Some of his noteworthy accomplishments are as follows:

  •      Defeated Qui-Gon Jinn during the Battle of Taboo
  •      Master to Savage Opress
  •      Led the takeover of the planet Mandalore and claimed the Darksaber
  •      Founded the criminal army, Shadow Collective

Another well-known antagonist is Darth Maul. Few of his Dathomirian Zabrak species are left, and his distinctive dual-bladed lightsaber, black tattoos, and red skin tone make him stand out from the others. Darth Sidious taught Maul to be a fearless, unrelenting, and deadly enforcer of the Sith's will.

Maul was cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Many thought he died at the Battle of Naboo.

However, he survived and received a six-legged device to replace his legs. This happened while he was on the junkyard planet Lotho Minor. But in the end, on Tatooine, Obi-Wan Kenobi confronted Darth Maul again and defeated him for good.

Darth Maul was a lightsaber duelist with exceptional skill in fighting several opponents at once and performing fantastic acrobatics. During the fight, he used the hostile Form VII and possessed powerful Force abilities. He was capable of mind reading and conjuring up images of himself, in addition to the Nightsisters' magical techniques.

Darth Sidious

A Sith Lord named Darth Sidious oversaw the Empire during its rule over the galaxy. Multiple times throughout history, his deeds changed the path of events. Some of his noteworthy accomplishments are as follows:

  •      The last Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic
  •      First Emperor of the Galactic Empire
  •      Master to Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus, and Darth Vader
  •      Last reigning Dark Lord of the Sith under Darth Bane’s Rule of Two
  •      Formed the Confederacy of Independent Systems
  •      Formed the Grand Army of the Republic

He was a politician for the Galactic Republic under Sheev Palpatine before he assumed the identity of Darth Sidious. Darth Plagueis trained Sidious in the ways of the dark side of the Force.

Sidious secretly built the Empire before he announced his rule. He then carried out Order 66, which destroyed the Jedi Order.

While he remained under the imperial palace, Sidious tried to use the dark side to shape the Force for his goals. He was a master of deception and strategy. He manipulated and used his slaves to carry out his plans.

One of the most formidable force-sensitive people of all time is thought to be Darth Sidious. The first time Palpatine's red lightsaber is seen is during an attempted arrest by four Jedi masters in the chancellor's office. Palpatine swiftly eliminates three of the four Jedi trying to capture him after revealing himself as the Dark Lord of the Sith they have been searching for.

Despite not killing Sidious, Mace Windu becomes the first and only Jedi to defeat him in combat. Anakin Skywalker steps in to prevent Windu from killing the emperor. Sidious then electrocutes Windu with such force that he is flung backwards off the Coruscant highrise with his trademark force-lightning.

Sidious had a lot of knowledge in Sith magic. He was also good at using Force Persuasion and Force-enhanced speed. Additionally, he could predict the future.
