Darth Vader’s Episode IV lightsaber was constructed after his transformation on Mustafar, symbolizing the death of Anakin Skywalker and the birth of the Sith enforcer. Built with Sith techniques, the hilt is stark, mechanical, and utilitarian, reflecting Vader’s life sustained by armor and machinery.
Its crimson blade, created through the corruption of a Jedi kyber crystal, embodies rage, loss, and absolute obedience to the dark side. Wielded during the hunt for surviving Jedi and his confrontation with Obi-Wan Kenobi aboard the Death Star, this lightsaber represents Vader’s complete submission to Sith purpose—powerful, controlled, and devoid of mercy.
