By now, you’ve undoubtedly seen the umbrella-like lightsaber used by the Sith Dark Lord in The Duel because Disney and Lucasfilm immediately knew that the thing would make people lose their minds. The Mary Poppins-like way the Dark Lord flies around while taking out enemies feels like The Duel’s creative team saying “Mary Poppins slaps, actually.”

What’s really wild about the Dark Lord’s umbrella saber, though is the way the episode implies that the entire weapon isn’t multiple lightsabers attached to a staff, but rather a single lightsaber retrofitted with attachments that extend and refract a single kyber crystal’s light into multiple beams.
