The origin of dual lightsabers is quite ancient. It dates all the way back to the legendary Sith Lord Exar Kun who belonged to the Qel-Droma times. The staffsaber made it first significant appearance during the Great Sith War. It was used by Exar Kun to lead the Sith Brotherhood and its people into the battle. Initially, it appeared to be an improved version of any other standard lightsaber.

This double bladed lightsaber owned by Kun proved to be an extremely effective weapon against the Jedi Order as they had never seen such a thing ever before. However, Kun was defeated by the Jedi warriors during a combat on Yavin 4, where he also lost his double bladed lightsaber. It was then that the Jedi made it a pact to find this dominant weapon. The Jedi Master Celeste Morne finally located it, from where the weapon landed into the hands of Jarael, who used it in the battle against her rival, Chantique.

Later, Chantique obtained the weapon. The lightsaber, however, was also lost it to her detested father, Antos Wyrick. However, unfortunately, the double bladed lightsaber proved to be a deadly weapon when it activated unexpectedly during a conflict between the father and daughter, instantly killing both. Once all of these disturbingly eventful incidents were over, the double blade lightsaber was safely returned to the Jedi.
