A Sith lightsaber

What is a Lightsaber?

A lightsaber has a handle, called a hilt, just like a regular sword. But instead of a metal blade, it creates a bright, glowing beam of energy. This energy beam is super strong. It can cut through almost anything! The power for this amazing beam comes from a special power cell inside the hilt.
