"This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age."
~Obi-Wan Kenobi ~
Incorporating many of the elements from his first weapon, Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber was a fairly spartan affair which in on fact neither flashy nor extraneously burdened with fantastical features, but rather a fitting tool for a warrior. The hilt was specifically designed to facilitate Skywalker's practice of Form V of Lightsaber Combat. As per Form V weapon specifications, the lightsaber had a solid casing (either as a whole or in multiple sections for maximum protection against power surge deterioration, which gave minor effect of slight EMP hardening) and a heavily shrouded blade emitter.The beveled emitter was designed to designate separate facets of the blade for either offensive or defensive purposes(able to switch from regular power to training mode). The lightsaber hilt included a ridged hand grip, as Djem So required its users to maintain a solid grip on the hilt. It was also later modified to allow it to operate underwater, which is often a weakness and shortcoming of many other such weapons.
Before being passed to Luke Skywalker, the weapon's hilt had been slightly altered so that the original fastener belt was changed into a ring. Little else about it changed throughout the years, parts being replaced and refitted as need be as each owner took up stewardship of the storied blade, with it's connection and a symbol of the Jedi and the balance between the Light and Dark Side of the Force being an inalienable quality the longer it persisted.
Of late, it was found in the hands of Mira Rekali-Gyndar, and from her keeping it passed down to the aspirant Jedi Battlemaster Julius Sedaire of the New Jedi Order through a harrowing ordeal from a former associate, who would not divulge how he came into possession of what was once Mira's. Julius in particular has developed an almost reverent care for the saber, which contradicts his usual attitude towards the tool of his trade, viewing it more as a symbol and allegory than a weapon truly, though he tries to hide that fact by often 'misplacing' it amidst a pile of papers on his desk or in a footlocker in his bunk, he is always acutely aware of it, and can be seen often cleaning and checking it.
