As one of the central characters of the Star Wars trilogy, no one embodies the word “legend” quite like Luke Skywalker. Together with his companions, General Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa, the young Jedi Master served as a revolutionary siding with the Alliance to Restore the Republic (an organisation committed to the restoration of democracy and the fall of the Galactic Empire). He also embarked on several epic adventures, fending off different opponents and foes with his legendary green lightsaber. Thanks to these epic adventures, Luke Skywalker would be remembered as one of the greatest Jedi in Galactic history.

Luke Skywalker’s Green Lightsaber: Creation and History
Luke’s green-bladed lightsaber, also known as Luke’s second lightsaber or simply as Luke Skywalker Lightsaber was constructed by Skywalker during the Galactic Civil War as a replacement for his father’s blue lightsaber, which he lost in a duel against Darth Vader while on Bespin.
The green lightsaber, which he modeled after the third lightsaber of his mentor, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, featured a kyber crystal that he got from Dr. Cuata on the planet Christophsis. While attuning with the crystal, Luke receives a vision from Master Yoda, which then turns the Kyber crystal green, thus, giving the lightsaber a green plasma blade.
Luke uses his green lightsaber in several duels and missions, such as his duel with Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi. He also used it to kill the bodyguards of Jabba Desilijic Tiure while on a mission to rescue Han Solo on Tatooine. Other times he notably wields his lightsaber include; the Mission to the Outer Rim, stopping Gorax, defeating Stormtroopers on the planets Pillio and Vetine, training Leia Organa, training Grogu, confronting the Knights of Ren on Elphrona, and on a rescue mission aboard Gideon’s Cruiser.
Following the Galactic Civil War (which he fought in), Luke retains his lightsaber while still making efforts to restore the Jedi Order. However, when he sensed that his apprentice and nephew Ben Solo was beginning to lean toward the Dark Side of the Force, he activated his saber on instinct but then restrained himself from killing the young Padawan. On seeing this, Ben Solo (now convinced that his Master wants to kill him) decides to strike Luke first and ultimately betrays him for the Dark Side.
Soon after the loss of his nephew to the Dark Side and the destruction of his Jedi temple (along with his remaining students), Luke took his lightsaber and went on a self-imposed exile to the planet of Ahch-To, where he lived a life of seclusion with no connection to the Force. The matron of the native caretakers eventually stored Luke’s lightsaber and other possessions in a repository after his death during the battle of Crait.
