Star Wars' brand-new lightsaber has one of the franchise's most tragic backstories. Typically, Padawans are taken to worlds like Illum to select kyber crystals and construct their first lightsabers, an "elegant weapon for a more civilized age".

In Marvel's new and Jedi Knights series , new stories and adventures set just before the prequels are revealed with every new issue. Such is the case with the recent Jedi Knights #8 by Marc Guggenheim and Madibek Musabekov, though it's certainly one of the most tragic yet, particularly when it comes to the lightsaber revealed on the issue's final page.
