During the Battle of Takodana, Kanata gave the lightsaber to Finn. Through the Force, the lightsaber called to a Force-sensitive scavenger from Jakku, Rey, who rejected it after receiving a painful Force vision from touching it. The Skywalker lightsaber eventually fell into the possession of Maz Kanata, a friend of the Skywalker family who kept the Jedi weapon hidden in her castle on Takodana during the New Republic Era. During the war, the saber was used to fight several individuals, including Kreel and Boba Fett, but was later lost on Bespin when Luke confronted his father. Kenobi ultimately gave the lightsaber to Anakin's son, Luke Skywalker, who wielded it while training as a Jedi apprentice, and during his involvement with the Rebel Alliance. Vader subsequently lost his weapon as a result of his defeat by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who kept the Skywalker lightsaber for almost two decades during the Imperial Era. Darth Vader, the dark side persona of Anakin Skywalker, slaughtered a group of Jedi younglings on Coruscant before journeying to Mustafar, where he executed the Separatist Council on behalf of his new Sith Master, the Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious. Though an instrument of the Jedi Order, the Skywalker lightsaber was used to kill Jedi in the siege of the Jedi Temple during Order 66 and the Great Jedi Purge.

He fought a variety of opponents from battle droids to Force-sensitive combatants such as Asajj Ventress, Savage Opress, Barriss Offee, and Count Dooku. Built as a replacement for his first lightsaber, Anakin wielded his new weapon as a Jedi General of the Grand Army of the Republic, leading clone troopers against the Separatist Droid Army on numerous battlefronts across the galaxy-wide conflict known as the Clone Wars. The Skywalker lightsaber, also known at various times as Anakin's, Luke's, and Rey's lightsaber, was a blue-bladed Jedi lightsaber constructed by Anakin Skywalker- Jedi Knight and prophesied Chosen One of the Force-during the final years of the Republic Era.
