Everything About Darth Vader's Lightsaber
As soon as Sith Lord Darth Vader took charge of his Galactic Empire, he was tasked by his master, Darth Sidious, to assassinate a Jedi and retrieve her kyber crystal to formulate a brand new Sith lightsaber. As a twist of fate, unlucky Jedi Master Kirak Infil'a met him beside the river moon of Al'doleem. Darth Vader confronted and eventually overpowered the Jedi Master. He swiftly retrieved the lightsaber of the deceased Jedi. Then, Darth Vader headed toward Mustafar, where he impacted the kyber crystal and compelled it to bleed in favor of the dark. Kirak Infil'a lightsaber was then glowing red.
The lightsaber of Darth Vader is as intrinsic as the personality of Darth Vader itself. It is a matter of fact that Vader's original lightsaber mattered the most to him because it absorbed his utmost emotions. In short, Darth Vader's lightsaber is the most personal thing that helped him in all the important occasions of his life.

Lightsaber Form and Major Battles
Darth Vader followed Form V of lightsaber combat, known as "Djem So" or "Shien." This form was based on aggressive attacks to counter the opponent’s similar, powerful techniques, reflected by Darth Vader’s own forceful fighting style.
In his first duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mapuzo, Vader, still enraged, dragged Obi-Wan through fire to severely injure him. Their second duel, on a rocky moon, ended with Obi-Wan breaking part of Vader’s helmet and Anakin coldly declaring, “Anakin Skywalker is truly dead.” Obi-Wan, sorrowful, chose to walk away. On Malachor, after defeating Ezra Bridger, Vader engaged Ahsoka Tano in a relentless duel. She refused to join the Dark Side, and as the temple collapsed, she delivered a second blow that cost Vader's lightsaber and helmet. Though injured, Vader survived.
During the Battle of Scarif, Vader pursued rebels through “the pitch-dark corridor” and ignited his way through the flashes of the lightsaber, but they escaped aboard the Tantive IV. On the Death Star, he confronted Obi-Wan again, dueling him before the old master sacrificed himself.
In Cloud City, Vader fought Luke Skywalker and chopped off the hand of his own son, Luke. It was one of the saga’s most emotional moments. Finally, during the Battle of Endor, Vader defended Emperor Palpatine until Luke led him to redemption. These iconic battles not only highlight Vader’s power but also the tragic tension between his past and present identities.
