"This lightsaber—this was the weapon of a Jedi. Whoever its owner might have been, they died with it in their hand. It has seen many battles, taken many lives. Be worthy of it, sergeant."
―Darth Vader, to Kreel[2]

A Force-sensitive individual served as a Jedi of the Jedi Order and owned a green-bladed lightsaber which they used in a number of battles and killed numerous individuals with.[2] By 0 ABY,[1] the Jedi was killed while holding their lightsaber in their hand. After the Jedi's passing,[2] the weapon came to be owned by the Hutt[3] crime lord[4] Grakkus Jahibakti Tingi[5] which[3] he[4] kept in his palace on[3] the Hutt Space[4] moon Nar Shaddaa during the Imperial Era.[3]

In 0 ABY,[1] Sergeant Kreel—an undercover Imperial stormtrooper working for Grakkus[4]—took possession of the lightsaber.[3] Around 1 ABY,[1] while Kreel trained with the weapon, his superior[2]—the Dark Lord of the Sith[4] Darth Vader—briefly took the lightsaber from Kreel and told him it had been owned by a Jedi, though[2] he[4] did not know who they were. After telling the sergeant to be worthy of the weapon, Vader handed the lightsaber back to Kreel.[2]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Star Wars (2015) 37—which Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of to around 1 ABY—establishes that the Jedi had died before its events. As Grakkus Jahibakti Tingi is in possession of the Jedi's lightsaber in Star Wars (2015) 10, the events of which are set in 0 ABY according to Timelines, the Jedi must have also passed away before that issue's events.
