Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: How To Make Rey’s Lightsaber

Rey's unique yellow lightsaber can see much action in the galaxy far, far away when players recreate it in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Rey may be the last Jedi since the Sequel Trilogy, but the recent news that the character will lead her film to rebuild the Jedi Order has many sensing some hope in the galaxy far, far away. This Star Wars character held onto the Skywalker legacy through Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, but within the final scenes of the adventure, she shows off her lightsaber in Star Wars.

Rey's lightsaber is an interesting one, as it seems a strong homage to her scrapper days. Now, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor can recreate this scrapyard lightsaber befitting Rey, complete with even the yellow Kyber crystal. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor gives players the freedom to create this iconic lightsaber.

The biggest surprise from the Star Wars sequels was not just that Rey was a Palpatine, but the fact that her unique lightsaber held a yellow Kyber crystal. This was the first time in the franchise that a live-action yellow lightsaber had been shown, and it's color due to being as iconic as Mace Windu's purple lightsaber.

Players can equip the yellow Kyber crystal to turn their lightsaber into a yellow blade without difficulties. As soon as players find their first workbench, they will have the yellow Kyber crystal and many other lightsaber colors available to them.

The first piece of the puzzle for players to make Rey's lightsaber in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is to find the Edgehawk Emitter. The Edgehawk Emitter, as well as other pieces of the Edgehawk lightsaber set, can be found on Koboh, where players will explore the Water Treatment Works area in Southern Reach.

The Edgehawk Emitter is a near-perfect replication of Rey's emitter. Although the Edgehawk may be more pointy than the normal version, the fact that the sharp edges line up to guard the entry point of the blade makes it resemble Rey's lightsaber better than other pieces.

The Edgehawk Switch is also found in the Water Treatment Works area, and it will provide players with a Switch that looks close enough to Rey's. Players may be able to see the beginnings of this elegant Jedi weapon as they pair together the two pieces of scrap to form the Emitter and the Switch pieces.

The Edgehawk Switch has those harsh edges sticking out from the sides that truly benefit from being a part of Rey's lightsaber. They look the part, and closely resemble the official design of Rey's lightsaber. Players might notice that the Grip and Switch pieces are in the wrong place, but that cannot be helped.

The Cere Junda lightsaber is found in a golden chest just after a certain fight with a Sith Lord on Jedah. Players can find this lightsaber in the Jedah Hanger close to the Archives, and then they will want to take the pieces to the workbench and use the Cere Junda Grip piece to bring Rey's lightsaber into the game.

Cere Junda's Grip is a distinct style for Rey's lightsaber due to the strips of fabric that wrap around the handle. There are two Grips with wraps as the style, but Cere Junda's Grip is the closest to resembling Rey's very own lightsaber.

For players needing the Edgehawk Pommel, they are going to want to start their search in Rambler's Ranch. The Edgehawk Pommel is located above the hanger that holds the Stinging Mantis, and it's a vital piece to complete the parts needed to create Rey's lightsaber in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

The final piece to complete the necessary parts for Rey's lightsaber is the Edgehawk Pommel for a reason. This piece closely resembles the Pommel of Rey's very own saber, especially with the sharp points and how it curves inwards. It's the perfect weapon for battling the Sith.

Players must pick up the Coated Metal Weapon Material set from the Flooded Bunker area on Koboh. Inside this set, players can find the Dark Iron Material, which is a great material to use on the entire lightsaber hilt.

Players will want to pick Dark Iron for the Primary, Secondary, and Accent parts of the lightsaber. This is because Rey's lightsaber is all one solid color, and it has a nice carbon black design, with some worn elements to avoid the metal having a distinct polish.

When players use Cere Junda's Grip, they will be voiding their option to use different Grip materials. However, players will be given a unique choice of Fabric colors, and it's best to choose the Tan Cloth material that best suits the fabric that covers Rey's very own lightsaber Grip.

By making the Grip a Tan color for their Cloth, players are creating a distinct visual style on their lightsaber, a sandy and worn set of wraps that pair well against the harsh worn black metals of Rey's lightsaber. Once players have placed this material on the Grip, players are welcome to swing around their new Rey lightsaber, decades before the character took the fight to the First Order.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
