Ever since Disney took a hold of the Star Wars franchise, they have gone about making some pretty significant changes. While some fans remain loyal to the original material of Legends, others are more comfortable adapting to these changes and have been excited to see what this new regime has to offer. Some of the biggest changes that have been made are about the history of the franchise, and a reimagining of how things developed all the way in the beginning. Take, for instance, the history of the Lightsaber. While the original lore had the lightsaber evolving from an early version known as the Protosaber, Disney has taken a slightly different route. The Protosaber was a mechanical lightsaber that looks similar to the one we know today, but with a major difference being that it was attached to a little backpack that powered it. The problem was that the power pack had a tendency to backfire on the Jedi trying to use it, which was not the best advantage in a fight. Disney has gone a whole other direction and created a primitive lightsaber that looks a little more like something a caveman might put together before any mechanical technology came along. Evolving from just a bare crystal that might have taken off the hands of its user to a crystal wrapped in layers of aluminum rods and twine, it is an interesting new take on what a lightsaber actually is.
