things star wars related now let's examine the top 6 most powerful lightsabers in all of star wars starting off with number 6 the karuska gem lightsaber karuska gems were crystals that could be found only on a select few gas giants around the galaxy such as bespin or yavin prime they were made when all of the chemicals of the atmosphere were scraped together with the planet's metals forming together closer to the surface by the extreme gravitational pressure karuska gems were famous around the galaxy for their beauty as it was said that it looked as if it was a furnace was burning within each crystal the fame of the karuska gem was also induced by the fact that they were the very gem that the planet of coruscant was named after in legends continuity around the era of luke skywalker's new jedi order lando calrissian had gifted a karuska gem to jason solo to use within his lightsaber when a karuska gem was infused within a lightsaber hilt it became more powerful and stronger than normal lightsabers able to cut through tougher metals with relative ease compared to a typical adegan lightsaber crystal when speaking about its strength lando said this they can slice through transparent steel like a laser goes through sestelium jam coming in at number 5 we have the darksaber created by the very first mandalorian jedi tarvisla the darksaber is possibly the most aesthetically unique lightsaber in jedi or force wielder history it was constructed around the time of the old republic and during the conflict between the mandalorians and the jedi the house of wisla snuck into the temple and took it for themselves following the death of tarvisla since then the darksaber has been passed down from generation to generation in the mandalorian house of isla as a symbol of power among the mandalorian clans eventually it would become known as the symbol of the rightful ruler of all of mandalore unlike a traditional lightsaber the darksaber is distinctly black in coloration shorter in length and it sports a flat and more angular shape like that of a typical sword it emitted a more high-pitched sound and seem to give off an electrical effect in response to its wielder's emotional state what makes it deadly is its subtle magnetic effect that seems to attract the blades of other lightsabers to it it is also currently being speculated among the fan base that it is more powerful against normal lightsabers due to its effect on vesgar bhaskar which can't be caught by a lightsaber or even blemished by it however when it was in contact with the darksaber it seemed to heat up and turn red in contact with the weapon implying a subtle power difference between a normal lightsaber and the darksaber moving into number 4 we have the antares blade the antares sapphire was a crystal that was a powerful tool in the hands of a jedi emitting a brilliant blue blade when used in a lightsaber it was so potent in the light side that it was said to have healing properties coupled with a number of other effects that included bolstering courage and calming the mind of any jedi who wielded it the crystal was so strong with the light in fact that in the hands of someone of the dark side it would heat up until it burned their very hands it is likely that the crystal was found by the jedi knight mitra zurich during her banishment many sith lords at the time had desired to own this crystal and attempted to bleed it and corrupt it should it ever be corrupted it would lose its healing properties but the sith lord would be able to boast and prove that even the lightest of things could be corrupted with the dark side currently the whereabouts of the sapphire are unknown but rumored to last be seen with a bounty hunter of the name of zuckus the next one at number 3 is the ghost fire lightsaber these kyber crystals have extremely lethal potential the ghostfire crystals are almost completely transparent and nearly impossible to locate being flung on random outer rim worlds one can attempt to find them at the very peak of some mountains when a ghost fire crystal is used to construct a lightsaber it will make almost zero sound whatsoever when ignited and produced a dimmer and more transparent blade compared to the iridescent fire of other crystals the strangest quality of this lightsaber lies in its ability to create illusory after images of the user's movements which would undoubtedly disorient any opponents denying them the ability to accurately know where the position of the blade currently is the implications of this kind of power is terrifying when considering the skill of some sith assassins even further than that imagine the after-image effect it had on the hands of an expert duelist such as count dooku a truly terrifying prospect indeed and at number 2 we have the itan lightsaber probably the strongest and most deadly lightsaber crystal in star wars mythos if you were a jedi or anyone wielding a blaster you did not want to come across someone with the nitan lightsaber etan crystals are found deep in the crust of the planet of itai although it is difficult to locate force users would be able to detect it very easily within the force as it called to them distinctly even those without the force could find it if they were close enough due to the fact that it gave a low humming sound whenever a person was nearby however the destruction of the tie these crystals are now far more difficult to find than before when used in a lightsaber any tan crystal would produce a blade that would literally eat other lightsaber blades when in combat the blade had an energy absorption feature that would absorb the energy of other lightsabers that it came into contact with each time they clashed the opponent's lightsaber would get weaker and weaker until the blade finally broke or fizzled out the tan crystal was also very dangerous against blaster wielders as the energy it redirected from the blaster bolts would come back to their shooter twice as powerful as before if this all weren't enough the sound that came from the lightsaber was the direct opposite of the ghost fire it was loud so loud in fact that upon clashing with another saber it would let out a near deafening crack with a large flare of energy i often like to imagine a tyrant crystal like this in the hands of someone like darth vader during his time of hunting jedi as his malice wasn't already intimidating enough the tan crystal was definitely a contestant to which was truly the most powerful lightsaber but here we are at number one the cold lightsaber there existed a lightsaber that used a pawntite crystal pontite being the rarest of all the digging crystals of illum the lightsaber had special properties to it much like the antares sapphire it produced an icy blue blade and when ignited it would give off a cooling aura of peace and calmness of the mind to both its wielder as well as the people around it we chose this as the most powerful lightsaber due to its incredible feat of being rumored to have actually helped turn darksiders back to the light due to this it was a cherished and coveted crystal in the jedi order due to its deep connection with the light side however it was incredibly selective on who its owner would be only the strongest such as luke skywalker could use it to its fullest potential luke and legends continuity is actually one of the few rare owners of this crystal this crystal was nearly impossible to find after order 66 as sidious wanted to destroy them the most of all the calmness of mind that it could produce within a jedi was something that sidious did not want existing during the dark era he was creating living up to its name stake it also produced a blade that was cool to the touch rather than burning you with heat or plasma you would be burned from how cold it was because of this being struck with a pawn tight lightsaber would hurt a lot more and it was known to momentarily disrupt a darksider's connection with the dark side itself being blinded by the light of the crystal we often see so many powerful sith relics that have been enchanted by the ancients that yield great power but it is very rare that we get to see a jedi artifact like this which makes it so much more special so friends what do you think of our list do you like our top countdowns and if you would like to see more videos like this comment below and let us know also let us know which one of these lightsabers you would like to wield if given the opportunity and as always may the force be with you and have a great day you
