Lucasfilm’s Dave Filoni On Whether The Mandalorian’s Darksaber Is More Powerful Than A Lightsaber

Dave Filoni, a Lucasfilm creative and executive, discusses the difference between the Darksaber as seen in The Mandalorian versus the classic Star Wars lightsabers. First introduced in the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, the Darksaber was created by Mandalorian Jedi Tarre Vizsla, and it has since been passed down in Mandalorian history to call warriors to the Mandalorian throne. The blade was brought to live-action in The Mandalorian season 1 finale and has since taken on an important role in The Mandalorian season 3. Seeing as the Darksaber has many cultural ideas tied to it, such as its combat ritual, many viewers have wondered how its power differs from that of a Jedi’s lightsaber – and Filoni himself has taken the chance to speak to this.
