Mace Windu

As a Jedi initiate, Windu was able to see shatterpoints in the force, allowing him to glimpse the future in brief visions. During these visions, Mace was able to see the lightsaber he would eventually build. This was a cause for concern within the Jedi Council, as Windu was unable to construct a weapon resembling the lightsaber he saw in his visions.

At the age of fourteen, Windu requested a true challenge, so that he could find the parts necessary to build the lightsaber. Upon his request, the council sent him to the planet Hurikane alone.

Upon his arrival, he was chased away by the natives, but was easily able to gain the upper hand with the Force. At one point, he caused one of the natives to shatter, but was able to painstakingly reconstruct the individual. As a result, the natives presented him with a violet-colored Lightsaber crystal, which he used in constructing the lightsaber of his visions.

Second Lightsaber
Sometime before 22 BBY, Mace created a second lightsaber, in recognition of his position as a senior Jedi Council member. It was built to the highest standards, emphasizing precision and quality. The weapon incorporated an electrum finish reserved only for the most senior of council members, as well as the signature violet crystal of his earlier weapon. His second lightsaber served him throughout the Clone Wars, until his death at the hands of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine in 19 BBY.
