Everything You Wanted To Know About Darth Sidious Lightsabers
Darth Sidious wielded two red lightsabers that he constructed during his training with Darth Plagueis. Both of his sabers were virtually identical twins. The blade color of both was crimson, and the hilts were an amazing work of art in silver. His original weapon had a sophisticated electrum finish, with a flat emitter made of aurodium and a body made of nearly unbreakable phrik alloy. The focusing crystal used was a synthesized crystal, typical of Sith construction. The second saber, while initially identical, was later refitted with a mysterious black alloy whose origins remain unknown. One of these weapons was usually concealed within a neuranium sculpture in his office at the Senate Office Building on Coruscant—specifically hidden inside a statue of Sistros, where it remained for twenty years.
Although Sidious favored the use of the Force and manipulation over direct combat, his lightsabers were crucial weapons he would only draw when necessary to avoid revealing his Sith identity. His intimidating combat technique was complemented by the rare yet devastating use of both crimson-bladed lightsabers, reinforcing his ruthless image as the Dark Lord of the Sith and Emperor of the Galactic Empire.

Darth Sidious's Fighting Style and Lightsaber Usage
Darth Sidious is one of the most powerful Sith Lords in history, who mastered everything to impose his rule over the galaxy. Though he rarely used his weapons and relied more on his deceptive skills, he was proficient in all seven lightsaber forms. For example, he mostly used Form VII (Juyo) for aggressive attacks. He also implemented elements of Form IV (Ataru), evident in his acrobatic and rapid movements, as well as hints of Form II (Makashi) for its precision in dueling. Sidious also utilized Form VI (Niman), which was a hybrid style combining elements of other forms. Therefore, he was very unpredictable in his fighting, using different techniques to win over his opponents.
For the first time in Revenge of the Sith, Darth Sidious wielded his single crimson saber to kill three famous Jedi masters named Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin. He killed them easily and then dueled with Mace Windu. Sidious was almost defeated because of Mace Windu’s exceptional power, but Anakin intervened, and he won to gain balance and killed Mace Windu. One other very important moment came when Sidious fought during the Clone Wars in Season 5, Episode 16. He traveled to Mandalore and used both of his sabers to overpower Darth Maul and Savage Opress. This rare dual-saber display was a visual confirmation of his hidden combat mastery. Despite his preference for manipulation and the Force, Sidious’ lightsabers played a critical role in his most high-risk confrontations, proving that when forced into combat, he was one of the most dangerous duelists in galactic history.
