Fascinating Facts About Princess Leia Lightsaber
In Star Wars Legends, Princess Leia's journey as a Jedi started when her brother, Luke Skywalker, constructed a green bladed lightsaber for her during the Thrawn campaign. Despite Leia's limited training because of her New Republic responsibilities, this lightsaber played a crucial role in The Last Command when Mara Jade used it to vanquish Joruus C'baoth and the clone Luke Skywalker. Later, on Nam Chorios, Leia herself engaged in one of her more notable battles in Legends by facing down the fallen Jedi Hutt, Beldorion, using Luke's original blue lightsaber.
Leia's Jedi journey is further developed in the Star Wars Canon in The Rise of Skywalker, where a flashback reveals that she trained under Luke and made her own blue-bladed lightsaber. Even though she was a very skilled Jedi, Leia eventually abandoned her training when she realized that her son Ben Solo was in danger. Her blue lightsaber was eventually passed down to Rey, who used it in the final battle against Emperor Palpatine. This saber became an enduring part of Leia's legacy.
Leia's lightsabers, which are blue in Canon and green in Legends, represent her strength, insight, and strong connection with the Force. Even though politics and leadership took up the majority of her life, her Jedi journey and the power of her lightsabers continued to motivate the galaxy's future generations. That’s why it remained one of the most significant sabers in galactic history.

History & Ultimate Fate of Leia Organa’s Lightsaber
Leia Organa began training alongside Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker on Ajan Kloss in the wake of the Battle of Endor. She was the first padawan of her twin brother. After the Battle of Endor, Leia built her own lightsaber and used it in several training sessions with Luke. However, later she stopped her training and gave her lightsaber to Luke Skywalker after she had a vision about her son Ben (Kylo Ren) and a dark fate connected to her Jedi path. Whilst Luke Skywalker hoped that his sister would start her training in the future. He kept the lightsaber and never told her sister where he kept it. Luke Skywalker eventually went into banishment on Ahch-To, taking the weapon with him and storing it in his hut. Luke retained Leia's lightsaber in the hopes of passing it on to someone worthy.
How Did Rey Inherit Leia's Lightsaber?
Rey received Leia Organa's lightsaber after Luke Skywalker's death, since his Force Ghost thought that Organa would wish the Jedi Padawan to keep it. Rey used her master's lightsaber in conjunction with the Skywalker lightsaber to divert Force lightning of Darth Sidious back at him, killing him during the Battle of Exegol.
Rey arrived on the planet Tatooine after the Battle of Exegol, which marked the termination of the First Order Resistance War. She buried the legendary lightsaber with Leia Organa's saber on Tatooine, Anakin and Luke's desert homeworld. The legacy persisted even after she buried the two lightsabers belonging to her masters, Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker, at the remains of the Lars homestead, the former home of the Skywalker family.
