An ultra rare light weapon, the double lightsaber consisted of an elongated handle (about 2.25 times the normal length of 25-30 cm), which projects a blade from each end. This gave it the versatility and speed against attacks of a quarterstaff, but made it more dangerous to the user. For this reason, it could usually be used like a normal, single bladed lightsaber. This was considered by many Jedi to be a Dark Side weapon, mainly because of famous darkside users and a distinctive style of use taught by the sith.
