- "Do you have a lightsaber?"
"I do."
"Can we see it? It's not every day we get to share a drink with a Jedi." - ―Sym and Azzazzo
Azzazzo's lightsaber[3] was a light green lightsaber owned by Jedi Padawan Amadeo Azzazzo[1] that contained a kyber crystal.[2] In 230 BBY,[4] during a destructive groundquake on the planet Mikkia, Azzazzo was in pursuit of the miner Lor Botho, who was trying to take advantage of the native Mikkians in their vulnerable state. While in a starship with both of them, Botho released poison smoke, forcing Azzazzo to hold his breath. In order to get the miner to let his guard down, Azzazzo deignited his lightsaber and pretended to fall to the ground, so when Botho came to finish the job, the Jedi leapt up, deflected the blaster bolts, and grabbed Botho's respirator. Later, on the planet Coruscant, Azzazzo showed off his weapon to his new friends at the behest of the human Sym.[1]
