Jedi General Laan Tik wielded a blue, single-bladed lightsaber during the Battle of Mimban on the planet of the same name. The 22 BBY Clone Wars engagement was fought by Tik's Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Powered by a kyber crystal, the lightsaber had a gray cylindrical hilt which ended with a black grip mounted by a black ring.
When Tik fell in battle, Republic Junior Representative Jar Jar Binks took the lightsaber to prevent it from falling into wrong hands. Later, having nearly killed himself five times with the weapon, Binks used it to strike down the B1-series battle droids that were about to execute an embattled Clone Captain Rex, saving him. As the lightsaber then slipped from Binks's hands, Rex chastised the representative and confiscated the weapon to prevent him from causing injury. The two then fought their way to a Separatist shield generator, with the captain refusing Binks's request to have the lightsaber back.
