What is a lightsaber trophy? | Lightsaber Terminology

A lightsaber trophy is a weathered and damaged lightsaber confiscated from an enemy combatant, often a fallen Jedi, in order to commemorate victory in battle. A lightsaber trophy is often but not always severely worn and damaged to the point of being unusable.

Similar to a war trophy, a lightsaber trophy symbolized a combatant’s prowess in battle. An individual in a position of wealth or power, like a politician, may also acquire a lightsaber trophy as a rare relic or artifact.
