After Disney and Lucasfilm published the first trailer for The Force Awakens back in 2015, we were all talking about Kylo Ren’s crossguard-lightsaber. “How is this practical?” the fans wondered. It’s as if the lightsaber has been an essential feature of the franchise and has been one of the utmost formidable weapons in the hands of the Jedi. Numerous fans have been hurt while attempting to construct the fictitious saber, even astrophysicist Neil deGrasse has even hypothesized as to how it may function within the actual universe.
Though, despite how many theories emerge and how many schoolyard boys replicate their little fights with sticks, none of it beats the excitement and intensity of a Jedi and a Sith swinging color lasers at one another in carefully orchestrated movements. Try looking at some of the most spectacular lightsaber matchups battles we’ve ever witnessed.
