Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon brandishes her green lightsaber in a dark forest in Star Wars The Acolyte with Ahsoka folding her arms
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Acolyte star Dafne Keen reveals some details about her lightsaber in the upcoming Star Wars show. With a two-episode premiere around the corner, The Acolyte will showcase an era of Star Wars never seen before in live-action, the High Republic. The show takes place 500 to 100 years before the Skywalker saga and will follow the Sith’s rise in the shadows and an investigation by Jedi to find out who’s killing them.

The shot that you see in the trailer where we all pull out our sabers – I'm 5’2”, okay, and the ‘sabers are all the same size. Mine kept hitting the ground, because I'm too short! They had to make me a custom ‘saber for someone who's 5’2”, they’re supposed to hit your waist, and mine would hit my chest.
Keen’s custom blade is actually already a part of the canon. Not to be confused with a training lightsaber — characterized by being shorter than a regular lightsaber and wielding a low intensity to prevent injury — Keen’s Star Wars lightsaber is called a shoto blade. The shoto blade is best known as Jedi Master Yoda’s weapon of choice and Jedi Ahsoka Tano’s off-hand blade. The shoto blade is commonly used by more aggressive fighters and sometimes requires a different fighting style.
