Paired lightsabers
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Paired lightsabers were dual lightsabers that could be joined together by a fiber cord into a double-bladed lightsaber.
[edit] History and use
One of the earliest users of paired lightsabers was the Sith Blademaster Kas'im, who used the paired function to disguise his two lightsabers as a single double-bladed weapon, before splitting it into two separate weapons. He used this tactic to great effect against Darth Bane on Lehon.
Komari Vosa was known to have used paired lightsabers. Asajj Ventress's later received her curved-hilt lightsabers as a gift from her Sith Master Darth Tyranus. Modified to accommodate a fiber cord link, her lightsabers could create a unique curved-hilted double-bladed weapon. More difficult to control than a regular double-bladed saber, the curved hilts and the fiber cord joint of her saber gave the wielder the benefit of striking from unexpected angles. Ventress' skill with the weapons was impressive, but not enough to defeat seasoned Jedi such as Mace Windu or Obi-Wan Kenobi.
One of the more recent users of paired lightsabers is the Emperor's Hand; Sa Cuis. However, it appeared that Cuis only used the paired function for easy storage, wielding his lightsabers separately in combat.
