Concordance of Fealty

"Master Eeth Koth, I have something to return to you. It is a product of your own hands which you once entrusted to mine. In returning this lightsaber, I return your trust."

―Mace Windu^[src]

The Concordance of Fealty was the Jedi tradition of entrusting one's lightsaber to a fellow member of the Jedi Order. This exchange represented a serious, even sacred bond. The exchange represented the establishment of a reciprocal, master-less learning relationship.

Behind the scenesEdit

The tradition of the Concordance of Fealty was created as a retcon to explain why Mace Windu's lightsaber is blue in pre-Attack of the Clones material, rather than the purple that Samuel L. Jackson specifically requested during the making of Attack of the Clones. It was later used to explain the description of the Battle of Skye in Star Wars Annual 1: The Long Hunt that implies Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader to be separate people by differentiating between Darth Vader and the Jedi who wore the lightsaber worn by Luke Skywalker. In Star Wars Gamer and Aliens in the Empire, it was explained that Halagad Ventor and Anakin Skywalker had temporarily switched lightsabers for the Concordance of Fealty.
