darth sidious

The Star Wars franchise is extremely well-liked. Star Wars’ fame increases as it is still written, produced, and directed by science fiction greats. Lightsabers from the Star Wars universe can be considered Star Wars relics. These lightsabers enjoy different levels of notoriety among science fiction aficionados. Many fans are looking forward to collecting and preserving these real historical treasures from the Star Wars story.

Undoubtedly, the lightsabers from the Star Wars saga have become a beloved aspect of popular culture. Darth Sidious’ lightsabers are among those that have become incredibly popular, in large part due to their unusual hilt style, blade color, and technical characteristics. Like his tenacious, intriguing, bold, and forceful character, Darth Sidious’ lightsabers are an essential part of him.

A Force-User is obviously insufficient without a lightsaber, and Darth Sidious’ magnificent weapon became one of the factors contributing to his success. The two virtually identical lightsabers that Darth Sidious created during his apprenticeship with Darth Plagueis were his personal lightsabers with an electrum finish. The evil lord seldom used his lightsaber in battle, seeing it more as a tool for taunting the Jedi. He only used them when it was absolutely essential since doing otherwise would have revealed him to be a Sith Lord. He seldom ever participated in combat and often delegated the grunt labor to others. He liked to utilize his manipulative skills, and he used slaves to further his covert goals.

Darth Sidious – Star Wars Fictional Character

Darth Sidious, also referred to as the Dark Lord of the Sith, the Emperor, as well as the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, was born Sheev Palpatine before becoming Darth Sidious. A Sith Lord by the name of Darth Sidious, sometimes referred to as Palpatine, upended the whole Jedi Order. Darth Sidious established his Galactic Republic after finally defeating the Jedi Order after generations of Sith lords failed.

Strongly connected to the Force, Sidious received covert training from Darth Plagueis in the ways of the Sith. In the end, he betrayed and murdered his Sith Master in order to raise Darth Maul as his own Sith apprentice since the Rule of Two only allowed two Sith Lords to be in their ranks at once. Darth Sidious possessed an extremely strong connection to the Force, which allowed him to use a variety of Force capabilities that were beyond the reach of even the strongest Jedi Masters. He was destined to become one of the most potent Force users in galaxy history as a result. Force lightning was one of the skills that Sidious would employ, and he did so both as a lethal attack and a form of torture.

Sidious was, in reality, a master manipulator and strategist who directed several galactic events, like the invasion of Naboo and the Clone Wars, while fooling the Jedi, the Senate, the Republic, and even the Separatists, all in an effort to consolidate his own authority. Sidious was renowned for being very vicious, and he frequently displayed overt joy when torturing people. He had a similar level of bloodlust and frequently delighted in battle to the point of giggling while he engaged in battle or was killed.

At the Battle of Endor, he lost his life. However, the Force’s evil side gave rise to abilities that permitted the emperor to rise from the dead.

Lightsaber Profile Of Darth Sidious Lightsabers

Two red lightsabers were held by Darth Sidious. He occasionally wielded both of his lightsabers. But he wielded both of his lightsabers against Darth Maul and Savage Opress. The blades of both of his lightsabers were crimson. The hilts were an amazing work of art in silver. Even while he favored the Force more often than not, his lightsaber was a very important weapon.

He was unquestionably the Sith lord, as he was brandishing a red plasma blade. Phrik Alloy, Electrum, and Aurodium were used to make the hilt of his blade. His lightsaber utilized a man-made crystal, just like the majority of Sith. Sidious possessed two sabers, with one serving as a backup. The spare saber was identical to the original, except it was constructed of a mysterious black alloy whose origins are still unknown.

The two lightsabers that Darth Sidious personally owned and had made during his training with Darth Plagueis were virtually identical twins. Sidious hardly ever utilized his weapons, only pulling them out when it was absolutely essential to conceal his identity as a Sith Lord. Instead, he chose to utilize his manipulative skills and minions to further his covert purpose.

Description

Sidious portrayed a ruthless head of the Rebel Alliance, an organization of Rebel soldiers. He uses a red-bladed lightsaber as his primary weapon, which has a crimson blade and glows when it is lighted. Darth Sidious had refined tastes, which were shown in his lightsaber collection. His intimidating combat technique was complemented by the use of two lightsabers with crimson blades. 

As the Emperor, Sidious no longer needed to maintain two identities, and fully embraced his Sith persona in thought and action

His lightsabers were made of almost unbreakable phrik, each with an electrum finish, and equipped with a flat aurodium blade emitter. Both were similar at first, but one was subsequently refitted with a mysterious black substance. In his office, located in the Senate Office Building on Coruscant, one of the weapons was usually concealed within a neuranium sculpture that was on display. Palpatine kept the light saber hidden within a statue of Sistros when he rose to political power. For twenty years, it was maintained there.

Specifications Of Darth Sidious Lightsabers

Darth Sidious was a lover of the arts, and his love of antiquity was evident in the fine workmanship with which he created his original weapon. The flat emitter of the lightsaber was made of aurodium, while the body of the weapon was made of nearly unbreakable phrik alloy. The entire weapon had a sophisticated and beautiful electrum finish. The weapon’s focusing crystal was a synthesized crystal.

Sidious, being the realist, has a spare lightsaber ready. Initially having the phrik as well as electrum finish of his first lightsaber, this weapon was similar to that one at first. However, a mysterious black alloy was eventually added.

Construction

The weapons used by Darth Sidious were created while Sidious was a student of Darth Plagueis. Darth Sidious  utilized his lightsaber throughout his Sith training. He had a neuranium statue of Sistros made specifically for him when he first started his political career in order to conceal his lightsaber inside of it.

Usage Of Darth Sidious Killer Lightsabers

Clone Wars

  1. Darth Sidious Vs Savage Opress, Darth Maul and His Brother (Mandalore):

Darth Sidious brought both of his red-bladed lightsabers with him when he covertly went to Mandalore in 19 BBY to face off against Savage Opress (apprentice of Darth Maul), Darth Maul and his brother. In the subsequent duel, he used both weapons, separating the two and murdering Opress with ease.

With his own pair of lightsabers, Maul proved to be a far more formidable foe and was able to hold his own for a longer period of time. Sidious used Force lightning together with telekinesis to disable Maul and then take him down.

  1. Darth Sidious Vs Mother Talzin (Second Battle of Dathomir)

During the 2nd Battle of Dathomir, Sidious engaged Mother Talzin in combat while brandishing one of his lightsabers.

Rise Of Galactic Empire

  1. Darth Sidious Vs Windu, Kolar, Fisto and Tiin (Combat in Office of Palpatine)

Near the conclusion of the Clone Wars, Sidious used one of the lightsabers to combat Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto, and Jedi Masters Mace Windu. He had a protracted exchange with Windu but swiftly dispatched Kolar, Tiin, and Fisto. The Sith Lord’s workplace bay window and the wind-tossed ledge outside were the targets of the Jedi’s combat direction.

Windu knocked the Sith Lord unconscious with a surgically accurate kick to the face, knocking Sidious off-balance and causing the darth Sidious to lose his lightsaber as he fumbled for support. Just before Skywalker arrived, the lightsaber shattered through the glass and landed in the apparently limitless streets and Coruscant’s labyrinthine alleys. Sidious was therefore limited to using his one surviving lightsaber from that point on.

  1. Darth Sidious Vs Yoda (Face-Off in The Senate Building)

When Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered what had transpired, Yoda rushed to the Senate Building to confront the Emperor directly, and Kenobi went to duel Darth Vader. Master Yoda returned to Coruscant after learning of Palpatine’s wicked plans. In a Senate chamber, he squared off against Palpatine. Sidious was shocked when Yoda informed him that his indifference had caused him to become blind, and that his student would be stronger than the two of them. Sidious was told by Yoda that both his confidence in Darth Vader and his belief in the evil side were mistakes.

The Galactic Senate Chamber—the Senate’s administrative center—was reached as a result of the duel. The Jedi Master was worn out by the strain of dodging the Senate pods that Sidious sent at him. Yoda then dodged a Force lightning attack from Sidious by using all of his remaining power to reject it, sending both of them over the side of the pod. Yoda collapsed to the floor of the Senate, leaving just his cloak behind as Sidious managed to cling onto a senate pod.

Sadly, Yoda was defeated by Sidious, and his saber was lost in the chamber. Master Yoda had no alternative but to flee without his lightsaber in light of the crisis and chaos. Palpatine’s victory was sealed after Master Yoda’s loss. He overthrew the democratic republic and established an Empire to control the universe.

Darth Sidious Vs Horde Of Lyleks

On the planet Ryloth, Darth Sidious joined Vader in a battle against a horde of lyleks while once more wielding his lightsaber.

Later Use

Even though Darth Sidious only sometimes used the lightsaber in battle after that, he carried it with him for the most of his life. He seldom engaged in combat with other Force users because of his status as Emperor, and in any event, he preferred to depend on his natural Force abilities. Notably, he didn’t really wield his weapon during the Sa Cuis clone insurrection; Vader handled the rebellion personally. Nevertheless, he did brandish it.

First appearance:

Numerous times have featured Darth Sidious’ excellent lightsaber. But it was seen for the first time in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.

Darth Vader Lightsaber – Inspired by Darth Sidious Lightsaber

Palpatine gave his third student Darth Vader the blueprint for his exquisite lightsaber and the synthetic crystal that powered it. Vader then used the blueprint to build his own lightsaber. While admiring the high degree of workmanship of Palpatine’s lightsaber, Vader thought it to be nothing more than an antique and wanted a weapon with greater weight. The end result, a black metal lightsaber that had been manufactured to Vader’s specifications, was only an expanded replica of his original Jedi lightsaber.

Lightsaber Fighting Style Of Darth Sidious

In reality, according to Darth Sidious, the Sith had no purpose for lightsabers and merely employed them to mock the Jedi. 

Plagueis was an intelligent man, and he understood that the Sith would be vulnerable if they didn’t understand how the Jedi engaged in battle. He had to make sure Darth Sidious received lightsaber instruction. But having received thorough instruction in the use of a lightsaber by his mentor, Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious possessed a high level of swordsmanship.

Every time Sidious engaged in combat with a foe, it appeared as though he changed his strategy or even adopted their fighting technique. He isn’t genuinely imitating his opponent. Darth Sidious was a user of  lightsabers fighting Form VII. On the other side, he also employed the Sith-favored style known as Dun Möch. This combat technique is characterized by controlling the opponent through distraction and taunting. He occasionally threw in some Jar’Kai-specific methods as well. This was demonstrated in the Clone Wars battle between Darth Sidious and Savage Opress and Darth Maul. 

He strengthened his swordplay by employing Force-enhanced speed, and he had a very violent, enraged dueling style. He used a combination of ferocious ferocity, breakneck speed, and deadly accuracy in his fighting technique.
