Jedi artisans were Jedi Knights who tried to understand creativity as a central aspect of the will of the Force. This typically manifested itself in the construction of lightsabers, although they sometimes focused on other crafts. Jedi artisans might create a mere half-dozen truly master works in their career. Some of these pieces were given to particular Jedi, while others were entrusted to the Jedi Archives.^[1]

Notable Jedi artisans were the Great Sith War-era Master Vodo-Siosk Baas,^[2] and the Duros Felanil Baaks in the years prior to the Clone Wars. He created lightsabers with casings of crystal, wood, and stone, and one unique lightsaber crafted as a liquid matrix suspended in a compressed gravity tube. Jedi Master Mace Windu was given one of Baaks' lightsabers, although he later gave this to a young Jedi from the Cularin system.^[3] Baaks himself traveled to the Cularin system where he trained five new Jedi artisans. Another artisan, Jedi Jwartek, crafted a hilt out of a branch from an ancient tree, while another specialized in crystal and glass hilts.^[1]
