- "Don't lose it this time."
- ―Kildo offering his lightsaber to Zenny Greylark
Kildo's lightsaber was a purple-bladed Jedi lightsaber wielded by Kildo, an Alcedian Jedi Initiate of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era. Kildo utilized the weapon while stranded on the planet Valo, under occupation by the Nihil marauders, alongside several other Initiates. In their efforts against the Nihil occupation, Kildo and the other Jedi briefly attached filter devices constructed by Padawan Ram Jomaram to their lightsabers, turning the blades Sith red, in order to confuse the marauders.[1] During a mission on the planet Palagosal, the Greylark family member Zenny Greylark picked up Kildo's lightsaber and wielded the weapon to fend off the Nameless creatures while Kildo and the other Jedi were incapacitated by the Force-draining effects of the beasts. Kildo later offered the lightsaber to Greylark in order to lure away and catch the Nameless in Palagosal's Tortle Cove Outpost. Greylark acknowledged the gesture, recognizing that Kildo did not surrender his weapon lightly.[3]
