Most of the Sith Lords was once Jedis. They turn to the Dark Side because of tragic life experiences. The fear and hate make them vulnerable to the Dark Side. It is why they always have interesting stories for the fans. 

Darth Krayt is one such Sith Lord who lived during the era of the Empire. The “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” series is ongoing, and there is news that Darth Krayt could appear. He is a major character, but very few people actually know about him. 

Darth Krayt was not a part of any Star Wars movies. Although, he appeared in the comic “Legends Epic Collection.” So, who is this mysterious guy? Is he a Sith Lord? What about Darth Krayt lightsaber? Let’s find out before he suddenly appears in the ongoing series.

Fall To The Dark Side

Darth Krayt was a human male who was a proud Jedi. He served the Republic during the Clone Wars and was one of the few to survive the Great Jedi Purge. When he was young, he was a Jedi Padawan of Jedi Master Ki-Addi-Mundi. He got his basic Jedi training in the Jedi academy on Coruscant.

A’Sharad Hett was the son of Sharad Hett, the legendary Jedi Master. Sharad Hett and his son lived with the Tusken Riders. It is why Sharad Hett used to wear Tusken’s mask. Sharad Hett’s lightsaber was a great weapon that would later transfer to A’Sharad after his death.

A’Sharad and Anakin both served together in the Clone Wars. On one of a mission, he found himself stuck with Anakin Skywalker. Anakin hated the Tuskens, followed by the event of her mother’s death at the hands of Tusken raiders. Both of them do not get along very well.

The tension between them eased up only after A’Sharad removed his Tusken cloth to show Anakin he was a human. Only if A’Sharad knew what Anakin would become, he might have killed him right there and then.

Darth Krayt as 26th Survival Out of 66 

Darth Krayt was one of the 26 Jedis who survived Order 66. After the fall of the Jedi Order, Darth Krayt returned to Tatooine to live with his former family, Tusken Raiders. At that time, Tuskens were bullied and killed by some farmers. He became the leader of many Tusken clans and started tracking and killing human farmers to take revenge for Tuskens. 

On one of the farms, he clashed with Obi-Wan, who was on his mission to keep the young Luke safe and sound. The Jedis were no more, and A’Sharad stopped acting like one. He saw general Kenobi but still decided to attack the farm.

Obi-Wan tried to stop A’Sharad, but he did not listen. Obi-Wan Kenobi dueled with him to stop him from killing humans. In that battle, A’Sharad suffered defeat and lost one arm. We will hopefully get to watch this clash of two Jedis in the ongoing Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

He lost his arm, exposing one part of his body. Exposing a body part was forbidden in Tusken Raiders. Likewise, a Tusken leader should be able to use a Tusken weapon that was impossible with one hand.

Tuskens are strict with the rules, so they had no choice but to abandon A’Sharad. They left A’Sharad shocked and disappointed. He also wanted to know why Obi-Wan protected Anakin Skywalker’s home ( who became the Sith and killed many Jedis.)

These incidents made him in great despair, making him vulnerable to the Dark Side of the Force.

The Rise of Darth Krayt

Not long after the incident, he found a Sith Holocron, which lured him to the dark side. He was already a victim of hate and fear, making it easier for the Dark Side to lure him. He became a Sith Lord and called himself Darth Krayt.

He kept his identity hidden for a very long time. He even fought alongside Luke Skywalker against the Empire while hiding his identity. He was fed up with the ancient Sith ideologies and wanted to build a new of his own.

Darth Krayt did many things to revive the Sith Lords after the rise of the New Republic, but in a different way. He created a new One Sith rule or the new Sith Rule. According to this rule, he trained younglings to stay loyal and obedient to the Dark Side from the beginning.

He created an entire Sith cult and stopped following the ancient rule of the two. Go to the link below if you want to dive deep into the story of Darth Krayt.

Rebuilding and Remaking of Sith

A’Sharad used many lightsabers during his lifetime. He wielded his first lightsaber when he was a Jedi Padawan of his father, Sharad Hett. This lightsaber had similarities to his Tusken relation. The hilt’s most part was covered with a wooden cover. A thread full of fangs and canines was also tied to the bottom of the hilt.  

Before turning to the Dark side, A’Sharad Hett used another green lightsaber like most Jedi. This lightsaber was once Sharad Hett’s lightsaber. An ex-Jedi assassin killed his father when A’Sharad Hett was young. He inherited Sharad

Hett’s lightsaber along with the burdens of his father. Sharad Hett’s lightsaber had a silver hilt with black and brown ridges and accents on it. A’Sharad Hett used his lightsaber the same way his father did. He changed the design, followed by the Order 66 event.

However, his new lightsaber is unique when we talk about the hilt. When he returned to Tatooine after the Clone Wars, he modified this lightsaber hilt to match his new identity. His hilt had the design of Tusken Raider’s traditional weapon with a large fang on the top. This design made him look more like a Tusken Raider than a Jedi. 

Possession of the Lightsaber

Some theories say that he modified it right after he got in possession of this lightsaber. He also used it in Clone Wars with this new design. Some say he never modified his father’s lightsaber. His first lightsaber has the theme of Tuskens, but Sharad Hett’s lightsaber had the appearance of the lightsaber of the Jedis.

According to some Canon sources, he abandoned both his lightsaber after losing in the Clone Wars. This theory makes sense because he had to use Tusken’s weapon to become their leader. 

Either way, he kept Sharad Hett’s and his first lightsaber. He trained himself to become a dual lightsaber wielder. He continued to use dual lightsabers even after turning to the Dark Side but some new ones he crafted.

A’Sharad Hett was highly skilled in lightsaber duels. He had learned the fighting styles of Tusken Raiders and added those skills to his lightsaber skills. He was a master of Form VI of lightsaber combats, a compelling form lightsaber.

Darth Krayt Lightsaber

After turning to the dark side, he used two red sith lightsabers. The red lightsabers were quite similar to his previous one except for the hilt’s design. This time the hilt was a common cylindrical type, unlike a fanged shape. But this hilt looked like a long brown colored claw. How this lightsaber worked without any electronic technology is unknown. We only know that it was made of some coral substance. 

He was very skilled in Krayt Dragon’s perseverance form with his lightsaber. If Darth Krayt vs. Darth Vader had happened, many believe that Darth Krayt would have won in the lightsaber duel.

We will just have to wait until the upcoming series is aired actually to watch the wonders of Darth Krayt lightsaber.
