Jedi artisan
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
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]
A notable Jedi artisan in the years prior to the Clone Wars was the Duros Felanil Baaks. 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.[2] Baaks himself traveled to the Cularin system where he trained five new Jedi artisans.[1]
