Mara Jade's first lightsaber

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

This magenta-bladed lightsaber was a weapon carried by Emperor's Hand Mara Jade. Mara constructed this lightsaber from a rare crystal given to her by Emperor Palpatine when she became an Emperor's Hand.^[2] Though Mara had only rarely carried a lightsaber prior to her employment with Talon Karrde's organization,^[3] she used this weapon with her hold-out blaster throughout the Galactic Civil War, including in the Shelsha sector,^[4] on Svivren,^[1] Chibias^[5] and Kintoni^[6]. She lost it after the Battle of Endor, during her duel with Lumiya on Caprioril.

Several years later, Mara Jade joined the New Jedi Order and constructed a new purple-bladed lightsaber as part of her training to become a Jedi Knight.^[7]

Behind the scenes

The official design of the lightsaber's hilt was released for the promotional images of Mara's model, Shannon McRandle. The most famous is the cover of Star Wars Insider 47.

In 2008, Master Replicas released a limited edition (750 pieces) prop replica from Mara Jade's lightsaber. It was featured with a signed plaque by Shannon McRandle.^[8][9]
