Who Has a Purple Lightsaber?

In both Star Wars Canon and non-canon Legends, a small number of Jedi have wielded the purple lightsaber, one of the rarest colors of all. Although Mace Windu is the most well-known user of the purple lightsaber, others have also added to its legend via their Force prowess. Discover the combat techniques, special skills, and uncommon abilities that allowed some of the most renowned and recognizable Jedi to wield purple lightsabers, as well as the characters that wore them.

An'ya Kuro

Canon: Not confirmed; included in the non-canon Legends of Star Wars

Bio: An'ya Kuro was a Master of the Jedi Order and a strange, Force-sensitive human. She gave up her name and adopted the appellation Dark Woman because she was so committed to the Force and the Jedi philosophy. She would eventually return to the Jedi Order to work as a spy during the Clone Wars despite having formally left the Order. After her last trainee failed, she would then go back into hiding once more.

Among the noteworthy accomplishments are:

• Worked as a Jedi Order spy during the Clone Wars and was the master of Jon Antilles.
• A'Sharad Hett, Aurra Sing, and Ki-Adi-Mundi (for a short time).
• After her death, she became a Force ghost with perpetual consciousness.

A formidable Jedi, Kuro was known for her unconventional and harsher training methods. She was frequently given more challenging trainees to instruct in the ways of the Force by the Jedi High Council. Although Kuro's strict procedures have been known to fail, her process usually produced Jedi with a hint of evil.

Aurra Sing, Kuro's last disciple, was paired with her master after the Jedi High Council observed that Sing had exhibited violent behavior. Sing eventually turned against the Jedi and became a bounty hunter whose mission was to destroy the Order. In humiliation, Kuro ran away to Cophrigin V, where she spent 12 years alone and thought about her Jedi role. Kuro became a Force ghost after Darth Vader found her and killed her. During her last act, she assured Vader that he was strong enough to go back to the Light Side of the Force. Vader became enraged by this and attempted to destroy Kuro's Force ghost.

Fighting Style: Although An'ya Kuro used the Form IV: Ataru method in combat, her Force prowess was more well-known than her Duelling prowess. She could pass through objects, teleport, bend light around herself to make herself invisible, control plant matter, heal herself with the Force, and eventually turn into a Force ghost.

Jaina Solo Fel

Canon: Included in non-canon Legends of Star Wars

Bio: Grand Master Luke Skywalker, her uncle, served as the leader of the New Jedi Order, where Jaina Solo Fel was a Jedi Master. She was married to Jagged Fel, the nephew of Rebellion hero Wedge Antilles, and was also referred to as the Sword of the Jedi. Jaina earned her purple lightsaber by building one at Jedi Praxeum using artificial lightsaber crystals, making her one of the few Star Wars characters with such a weapon.

Among the noteworthy accomplishments are:

• He was a pilot in the New Republic army's Rogue Squadron.
• A member of the Jedi High Council and a Jedi Master.
• Received Jedi Praxeum training.
• Founder of Dark-meld, a clandestine organization.
• Boba Fett trained him during his escape from the Sarlaac Pit.

Leia Organa Solo and Han Solo were the parents of Jaina and her twin brother, Jacen. Dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth attempted to kidnap Leia three times before they were born in an attempt to take the children and shape them to do his wicked will. Fortunately, these attempts were thwarted, and after her time as a pilot, Jaina acquired Force skills that led to her training as a Jedi. Unfortunately, her twin brother, Darth Caedus, succumbed to the Dark Side. Jaina would engage in combat and bring Darth Caedus to his demise. Anakin Solo, Jaina's younger brother, also possessed Force talents.

Fighting Style: Solo was a strong member of the Force with telekinetic and Force lightning powers, and he shared the Skywalker bloodline. Jania also possessed exceptional piloting capabilities, great mechanical talents, and blaster proficiency. Jaina gained a well-rounded edge as a proficient warrior thanks to her mother, uncle, and external influences like Boba Fett.

Anakin Solo

Canon: Included in non-canon Legends of Star Wars

Bio: Jaina and Jacen Solo were twins, while Anakin Solo was their younger brother. At first, Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo intended to call their son Han Solo Jr., But Leia decided to give her third child the name Anakin because she wanted to take back her father's namesake and see what good it may have done in the galaxy. Before giving his life to rescue the galaxy, the younger of the three would become a Jedi Knight.

Among the noteworthy accomplishments are:

• He was a member of the New Jedi Order and a Jedi Knight.
• Received Jedi Praxeum training.
• He taught his elder siblings how to use the Force's power to move between force fields.
• He fought against the Yuuzhan Vong and lost his life to preserve Jaina and Jacen.

Anakin Solo became the newest Jedi with purple lightsabers by incorporating a Lambent crystal onto his blade. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, he would use it to the very end. Nom Anor, the Yuuzhan Vong's Executor, claimed Anakin's purple lightsaber after his death. Before Luke Skywalker retrieved the blade, it briefly went through the hands of Jacen Solo. Later, Han Solo received it to erect next to a monument honoring Chewbacca, who also perished in the Yuuzhan Vong War. Jacen, his older brother, was greatly affected by Anakin's passing, and it was one of the things that ultimately caused Jacen to turn to the Dark Side.

Fighting Style: Known for his special Force skills, like the capacity to travel through force fields, Anakin Solo had a mechanical bent. Pure white energy blazed through his fingertips during his last struggle with the Yuuzhan Vong, exploding into a dazzling light as he gave his life to save his siblings Jaina and Jacen.

Vernestra Rwoh

Canon: Verified by Canon

Bio: Known by his nickname "Vern," this Jedi from the High Republic Era was among the youngest to be promoted to Jedi Knight. She carried a purple lightsaber, which she could change into a light whip as a result of her special bond with the Force.

Among the noteworthy accomplishments are:

• Among the youngest to get the Jedi Knight title.
• Before rejoining the Jedi Order, he briefly turned into a Way-seeker.
• Oversaw the Jedi murder probe.

Vernestra Rwoh's training of an apprentice, better known as "the Stranger," who would turn to the Sith and be discovered to have committed the Jedi killings, is one of the most sinister facets of her life. Vern would attribute the killings to her deceased friend, Jedi Master Sol, in order to save the Jedi Order from criticism.

Fighting Style: Vern became a Jedi Knight at the age of 15 because she was committed to her training and had a strong bond with the Force. She left the Jedi Order, like other purple lightsaber users, and became a Way-seeker in order to strengthen and hone her Force connection. She could utilize her purple blade as a light whip, an extraordinary power that only Vern possessed.

Mace Windu

Canon: Windu's purple lightsaber origins are not canonical, but the character is

Bio: The most closely related Star Wars character to the purple lightsaber is Mace Windu, a Jedi Master of the High Council and general during the Clone Wars. He completes our list of purple lightsaber users. Find out more about the colors of Mace Windu's lightsaber.

Among the noteworthy accomplishments are:

• A member of the Jedi High Council and a Jedi Master.
• Depa Billaba, master.
• During the Clone Wars, the Jedi's leader.

Windu was a hero and Jedi champion who was renowned for his bravery. He was a soldier, statesman, military strategist, and tactician for the Republic during the Clone Wars. Windu defeated Darth Sidious because he was so strong, but Anakin Skywalker stopped him before he could murder the malevolent Sith Lord. This finally resulted in his death when Sidious defeated him in combat.

Fighting Style: Windu used Form VII: Juyo / Vaapad, sometimes referred to as "The Ferocity Form," which is the most violent and unpredictable lightsaber fighting style. Mace Windu was able to successfully perform the technique without giving in to the Dark Side's temptations despite being more well-known among Sith Lords. Apart from his attacking prowess, Windu mainly used defensive strategies, such as dodging incoming blaster fire from a large number of approaching adversaries.

Windu had exceptional Force skills. He was skilled at mind control, levitation, telekinesis, and using the Force to improve his physical talents. He also knew how to use his lightsaber to counter a Force lightning strike. Windu became capable of rerouting the lightning in a superconducting loop back to its source while deflecting it.
