Short answer

Ezra Bridger carries three lightsabers in canon: a blue blaster hybrid that Darth Vader destroyed on Malachor, a green saber he left with Sabine Wren, and a blue one built on Peridea with a hilt based on Kanan Jarrus's. His first kyber crystal came from the Lothal Jedi Temple.

Ezra Bridger’s lightsaber is usually the first one people picture: a blue blade on an odd double-bar hilt with a stun blaster built in [1]. In canon he has carried three sabers, and the last one, built on Peridea for the Ahsoka series, copies the hilt style of his master’s [3][4]. This page follows each saber, the parts that went into the first one, where his kyber crystal came from, and what happened to every blade. Everything here is canon. Wookieepedia’s saber pages for Ezra are canon pages, and it files appearances in games such as Disney Infinity and LEGO Star Wars separately as non-canon [1]. I found no Legends version of Ezra.

This is an informational reference. Star Wars and its characters belong to Lucasfilm and Disney, and this site shows no film stills or logos.

Quick answers

  • Saber 1: blue, a lightsaber and stun blaster hybrid, built in 4 BBY and destroyed by Darth Vader on Malachor in 3 BBY [1].
  • Saber 2: green, a plain cylindrical hilt, built between 3 and 2 BBY and later left with Sabine Wren [2].
  • Saber 3: blue, built on Peridea in 9 ABY with a hilt based on Kanan Jarrus’s saber [3].
  • Kyber crystal: given to him in the Jedi Temple on Lothal, with Yoda guiding him [5].
  • Legends: no Legends version found in the sources read.

“BBY” and “ABY” mean before and after the Battle of Yavin, the calendar Star Wars stories use.

The Wookieepedia page on the first saber carries a banner saying parts of it are out of date, and the pages on the second and third are marked as stubs [1][2][3]. Treat small details as the wiki’s current reading, not final.

The blaster hybrid

Ezra built his first saber in 4 BBY aboard the Ghost, a few weeks after he was given his crystal [1]. Wookieepedia calls the result a lightsaber and blaster hybrid with a single adjustable blade and a built-in blaster that fires stun shots [1]. The blaster sits in a second bar of the hilt, which is why the hilt looks like two bars joined by a handguard [1]. The wiki says the powerpack cannot run the blade and the blaster at once, so he had to switch the blade off to shoot [1].

Why build it? The wiki gives two reasons. Ezra was poor at deflecting blaster bolts with a blade, and a lightsaber in the Imperial era drew attention, so a hilt that looked like a tool and could stun without ignition suited a hidden Jedi [1]. It also says the double-bar layout was unproven and risked a short circuit at a bad moment [1]. Like his master’s saber, it had a low-power setting for practice that gave the blade a different shade of blue and a higher hum [1].

The crew supplied the parts. Kanan gave him spare saber parts he had collected over the years, Sabine donated modulation circuits and an energy gate, Chopper gave a power cell, and Hera added technology to Ezra’s specifications [1]. A colour-by-colour look at blue blades is on the blue lightsaber page, and the general anatomy of hilts is in the lightsaber hilts guide.

Where Ezra’s kyber crystal came from

Ezra got his crystal in the Jedi Temple on Lothal. Kanan brought him there, and Ezra faced a series of illusions meant to test him [5]. A voice that turned out to be Yoda’s guided him through the temple, asked why he wanted to be a Jedi, and gave him a kyber crystal when he said he wanted to protect others [5]. The Databank confirms that he found the crystal in the temple and built his saber around it [6]. For what kyber crystals are in canon, see the kyber crystals page.

One Rebels scene shows how the crystal worked in his saber. Ahsoka Tano took it out, threw it into the grass, and made him find it with the Force while she attacked him [5]. The first saber was designed so the crystal could be removed easily, according to the wiki [1].

Kanan’s lightsaber and Ezra’s

Kanan Jarrus’s saber is a separate weapon: a blue two-piece hilt with an adjustable blade that Caleb Dume built as a Padawan [4]. Ezra touched it twice. At Fort Anaxes he tried to use it and the Grand Inquisitor disarmed him [4]. Later the Inquisitor wore it on his belt as a trophy, so Kanan fought with Ezra’s hybrid. Ezra pulled Kanan’s saber to his hand with the Force, and after he was knocked aside Kanan took it back and won with both [1][4].

After Kanan’s death, the wiki says Governor Arihnda Pryce took the saber and gave it to Grand Admiral Thrawn as proof the Jedi was dead [4]. That is where the “Kanan’s saber” link ends. The one Ezra carries later is not Kanan’s own blade. It is a new saber built to look like it [3].

The green saber

Rebels shows Ezra with a green saber in its third season [2]. Wookieepedia dates the build to between 3 and 2 BBY, after Vader destroyed the first one, and describes a cylindrical hilt with a black grip and silver accents [2]. The Databank describes the same green blade, black grip and silver accents [6]. It is a more traditional design than the hybrid, and the wiki ties that to his growing confidence with the blade [1].

On Dathomir he used this saber together with the Darksaber to destroy the altar of the Nightsister spirits [5]. Before he left with Thrawn, he handed the saber to Sabine Wren, who kept it, modified it with a larger emitter shroud and guard pieces, and fought with it as Ahsoka’s apprentice [2]. The saber and its owner are covered on the Sabine Wren lightsaber page, and green blades in general on the green lightsaber page.

Ezra, Ahsoka and Thrawn

Ezra disappeared at the end of Rebels, when purrgil pulled Thrawn’s flagship into hyperspace with Ezra aboard [5]. In Ahsoka, Sabine finds him on Peridea after nearly a decade away [5]. She tries to return the green saber and he refuses, saying it is hers now [2][5]. The wiki says he had gone without a lightsaber for nearly that whole time and had learned to mix Force use with unarmed fighting [5].

The Ahsoka saber

In the series finale, Ezra builds a new saber aboard Ahsoka’s ship with Huyang, the droid who trains Padawans [3][5]. The wiki says he built it in a hurry from parts Huyang had stored, and that the hilt copies the style of Kanan’s saber on purpose, to honour his master [3]. Huyang supplied the emitter shroud part, which he says he had kept for Caleb Dume in case he ever needed a replacement [3]. The crystal is blue [2][3].

He used it to protect the Noti, then to cut down Night Troopers and a reanimated death trooper while trying to stop Thrawn’s return to the known galaxy [3]. The wiki’s page on this saber is a stub, so it does not describe its later history [3]. Ahsoka’s own sabers are on the Ahsoka Tano lightsabers page, and Baylan Skoll, who stood on a hill with Shin Hati when Ezra and Sabine met on Peridea, is on the Baylan Skoll lightsaber page [5].

The Vader duel on Malachor

Ezra lost his first saber to Vader. Wookieepedia says Vader slashed at the hilt and destroyed it almost at once, and Ahsoka stepped in before he could strike Ezra [1][5]. The same wiki says Ezra lasted only seconds [5]. Vader’s own saber is on the Darth Vader lightsaber page. The old Sith Maul, who led Ezra to the temple, is on the Darth Maul lightsaber page.

Fighting style

The wiki says Ezra studied Form IV from a recording of Anakin Skywalker in Kanan’s holocron, and that after Malachor he took up his master’s habit of fighting with a blaster in one hand and a blade in the other [5]. The lightsaber forms page explains the forms. For a film by film list of every blade, see every lightsaber by film.

Replicas

Hasbro lists a Star Wars The Black Series Force FX Elite Ezra Bridger lightsaber, rated for ages 14 and up [7]. Its page says the design is based on the saber from the Ahsoka series, with a blue blade and an emitter that resembles Kanan Jarrus’s [7]. It needs three AA batteries, which are not included [7]. As of November 2026 Hasbro Pulse listed it at $249.99 as sold out [7]. The site’s own handbook card for Ezra’s blue hybrid links the same product, but Hasbro’s page ties it to the Ahsoka saber, not the blaster hybrid (handbook/sabers/ezra-bridger-blue.md) [8]. I found no official replica of the blaster hybrid.

For how licensed collectibles compare, see Black Series Force FX lightsabers and the lightsaber replica guide.
