Did You Know the Darksaber Almost Didn’t Exist – Star Wars Explained #Shorts –

Did you know the Darksaber was originally going to be a simple vibro-blade type weapon? Pre Vizsla was always meant to have a bladed weapon, but George Lucas was adamant that a blade couldn’t go up against a lightsaber, and so the animators had to completely change its appearance. Some design concepts were similar to Praetorian Guard weapons, with energy running along a physical blade, but George liked the alternate take on a classic lightsaber, and so the Darksaber was created late in the episode’s production. The weapon is now widely recognized and important to Mandalorian mythology, but it almost never existed!
