===History===

:The Jedi Order is believed to have come about around 25,000 BBY on the planet of Tython. They were a monastic order of mystical warriors who followed the paths of harmony, knowledge, serenity and peace. The Tython Jedi were credited with the induction of a ceremony where students would forge their own Force enhanced swords as a part of their Knighthood ceremony. 
:Originally a society of researchers and philosphers, the Jedi found it natural to promote peace and harmony. As time passed the Jedi changed from advocates of civilization to its defenders. This probably took place around 25,053 BBY when the Old Republic took the Jedi Order into their fold to serve as its defenders.

From the official Star Wars website databank: 
''The lightsaber is the weapon of a Jedi, an elegant armament of a more civilized time. In comparison, blasters are crude, inaccurate and loud affairs. To carry a lightsaber is an example of incredible skill and confidence, dexterity and attunement to the Force.'' 

''When deactivated, a lightsaber appears as a polished metallic handle, about 30 centimeters long, lined with control studs. At the press of a button the energy contained within is liberated and forms as a shaft of pure energy about a meter long. The saber hums and scintillates with a distinct sound. Its shimmering blade is capable of cutting through almost anything, save for the blade of another lightsaber.'' 

''In the hands of a Jedi, a lightsaber is almost unstoppable. It can be used to cut through blast doors or enemies alike. Using the Force, a Jedi can predict and deflect incoming blaster bolts, and reflect them back at the firer.'' 

Lightsabers were often built by a Padawan as part of his journey to knighthood. During the Jedi Purge where Darth Vader was ordered by Emperor Palpatine to exterminate the remaining Jedi, a couple of resourceful Jedi left their lightsabers for their children for a time when the Jedi Order would be revived. 

Below are the three lightsaber styles available to players in [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. Following each style are notable users of that particular style

*[[Dual]] Sabers
Asajj Ventress 
Luke Skywalker (later in his career: 40 ABY) 
Mara Jade Skywalker (also around 40 ABY) 
*[[Single]] Saber
Obi-wan Kenobi 
Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader 
Mace Windu 
*[[Staff]]
