Background: Maul’s fourth and final lightsaber was a new double-bladed lightsaber which was also a cane lightsaber. The lightsaber produced two crimson-red blades, and the upper grip-guard resembled that of the Inquisitors’ lightsabers, albeit broken and bent outward. Indeed, the lightsaber appeared as if it had been built out of pieces retrieved from an Inquisitor’s blade. He would hide the hilt by attaching a piece of wood to it, and pretending it was a walking stick, all the while masquerading as a feeble old man. Maul later used it on his hunt for his old nemesis Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was in this final duel that Maul was defeated, the lightsaber was bisected in a similar manner to his first when Kenobi sliced it in two. However, unlike last time, both halves of the lightsaber remained functional, only deactivating when Maul lost grip of them as he succumbed to his wounds.
