Jedi Master An'ya Kuro constructed and wielded a purple-bladed lightsaber in her career as a member of the Jedi Order. Kuro used the lightsaber in a training duel with her then–Padawan, A'Sharad Hett in 32 BBY after the latter came to the Jedi Temple after the death of his father. She would use it for the final time in a duel with Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader in 1 BBY on Cophrigin V.
