Kylo Ren’s Lightsaber and KOTOR – Is There a Link? 3ev56

If you’ve Star Wars film canon. 484ay

Eurogamer.net takes a look at this theory:

There’s a believable link between Kylo Ren’s crossguard Lightsaber and, specifically, Knights of the Old Republic 2, although KOTOR1 and Star Wars: The Old Republic have to be included because of their shared timeline and, particularly, main character Revan.

The link regards the “Kylo Ren’s Lightsaber is an unusual design, dating back thousands of years to the Great Scourge of Malachor,” the book revealed, then said a bit more about the weapon’s design – although it’s really only the first sentence you need concern yourself with.

Nevertheless, here’s the extra stuff: “The crossguard blades, or quillons, are tributaries of the primary central blade, all spawning from a cracked kyber crystal that is the cause of their ragged, unstable appearance. An array of focusing crystal activators split the plasma stream into perpendicular blade energy channels, creating the quillons. The emitter shrouds on the crossguard protect the bearer’s hand from the smaller blades.”

The comes close.

The go into much more detail about this in the piece of you want to head over and read the full thing (we suggest you do) and they also explain why it even matters if the films are sticking to canon. Your average movie buff probably won’t understand the importance of this but most serious part of life for many people.

So is this a real link to canon or just a nod to a famous and popular Star Wars game?
