Welcome back to Kanata’s Castle! Becca and Devon are back in the ‘swing of things’ as they sit down and discuss, the mythology of the lightsaber. So, sit back and listen to the call of the living crystal. The Kyber.
We know that both, the Jedi and the Sith have shared the same weapon for years. The lightsaber. It is an elegant weapon, powered by a living crystal. The Kyber. Like the Jedi and the Sith, the lightsaber has a mythology all its own.
