How Many Lightsabers Are There?
179The Jedi Order was an absolutely massive organisation of powerful force users. Although their main weapon was always intended to be the force itself, as time went by, the order became complacent and put too much emphasis on the use of the lightsaber, a weapon which was used solely by members of the order or its opposition, the Sith.

A question that comes to mind, especially after many rewatches of the movies, is how many lightsabers were actually in existence during the clone wars, when the order was at its peak?
There were around 10,000 members, so an obvious answer might seem that 10,000 is the answer. However, there’s more to account for than you might think. Although it wasn’t as common as the traditional single lightsaber, it was far from rare for a Jedi to wield two single-bladed lightsabers in unison. Of course, in typical lucasfilm fashion, we don’t have any hard numbers on how many Jedi employed this approach to combat, but we’ll assume it’s a third of the order’s members, since we see it in various battles but nowhere near as common as the standard single lightsaber.
