Near the end of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and three years later in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, we saw the terrifying red-bladed variation of the lightsaber, wielded by none other than Darth Vader.Īfter another three years, in 1983, Luke Skywalker ignited his iconic green lightsaber for the first time on screen. The vibrant blue blade humming with energy instantly became a fan favorite.
