Summary Although Anakin Skywalker's blue lightsaber from the prequel trilogy has become iconic in Star Wars, including far beyond the prequel era, Anakin/Darth Vader actually used six different lightsabers throughout Star Wars movies and TV shows. Anakin Skywalker is undoubtedly one of Star Wars' most powerful Jedi, and he became one of Star Wars' most powerful Sith. However, that certainly doesn't mean he was without some odd flaws.
5 6 Anakin's First Blue Lightsaber Appeared In: Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones Close A massive time jump took place between Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, revealing that Anakin had gone from a scared young boy from Tatooine unfamiliar with the Jedi way to a stubborn teenage Padawan learner. With this jump came a number of changes in Anakin's Star Wars story.
It isn't clear what precisely happened to this lightsaber after Anakin used it, although presumably he simply returned it to its rightful owner. After all, Jedi were said to have a particular bond with their kyber crystals and therefore their sabers. While this green loaner lightsaber may have worked for one battle, it wouldn't have served Anakin long-term.
As Anakin lay dying, Obi-Wan picked up the lightsaber and took it with him, which explains how the blue lightsaber ended up on Tatooine in the original trilogy. Sadly, this legendary lightsaber's time in Star Wars may truly be over. In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey buried this lightsaber and Leia's lightsaber on the Lars farm on Tatooine.This was certainly a controversial move by Star Wars, but it does suggest that this lightsaber won't be seen again.
Nevertheless, it's fascinating that Count Dooku's red lightsaber was technically Anakin's first Sith saber. Of course, eventually, that was no longer true. Just as Anakin acquired the iconic Sith eyes, in the end, Anakin wielded a red lightsaber of his very own. As mentioned, though, even as a terrifying Sith Lord, Anakin never resolved his habit of losing or breaking his lightsabers.
