Kelnacca's lightsaber was the green-bladed lightsaber used by the Wookiee Jedi Master Kelnacca. The lightsaber had a cylindrical gold hilt which had distinct wear from many years of use. Kelnacca carried his lightsaber for many years.^[1] He kept his lightsaber with him during his isolation on the planet Khofar. After being killed by the Sith known as "The Stranger", Kelnacca's saber was found alongside his corpse by the assassin Mae-ho Aniseya.^[6] Aniseya took his saber for herself and attempted to flee from the scene before being apprehended by the Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon. Lon took the lightsaber and used it alongside her own in a duel against the Sith until the weapon was destroyed shortly before being killed herself.^[2]
