Kai's first lightsaber

OnACanonArticle

This article is about Kai Brightstar's blue lightsaber. You may be looking for his green lightsaber given to him by Yoda.

Kai's first lightsaber,[4] also known as Kai's lightsaber was a training lightsaber that was wielded by Jedi Initiate Kai Brightstar during the High Republic Era.[1] The saber was a generic brass cylinder design issued for younglings.[4]

Around 233 BBY,[5] Brightstar was sent on a mission by Jedi Master Yoda, his lightsaber was stolen by the pirate Taborr Val Dorn. Kai then replaced it with another lightsaber gifted by Yoda.[2]

Kai would see this lightsaber again on the planet Vuundalla inside a locker in Cyrus Vuundir's workshop where he learnt of Prince Cyrus' secret identity as Taborr. Kai would take the lightsaber back before later confronting Cyrus about both the possession of the lightsaber and his secret identity. [6]

The Season Two episodes "The Great Gomgourd Quest" and "The Missing Life Day Feast" take place one year after the Season One episodes "The Harvest Feast" and "Life Day," placing those episodes in 233 BBY. Season One begins around the same year, meaning that the first half of Young Jedi Adventures Season One, which includes "Yoda's Mission," takes place around 233 BBY.
