Aside from Mandalorians who have wielded the blade like Din Djarin, Bo-Katan Kryze, and Sabine Wren (who is due to debut in live-action in the upcoming Ahsoka on Disney+), non-Mandalorians like Moff Gideon and Darth Maul have also wielded the saber. Several characters have wielded the Darksaber since its introduction into Star Wars canon. Despite being a uniquely colored lightsaber, the Darksaber commands the respect of all Mandalorians. Yet its most notable use is its live-action debut in The Mandalorian. Since its first appearance, the Darksaber appeared in several Star Wars projects from Disney including Star Wars: Rebels. The Darksaber is a one-of-a-kind blade created several centuries before the Skywalker Saga by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian Jedi. Introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars in 2010, the Darksaber has become an integral weapon and plot point in Star Wars canon. Jackson powering up Mace Windu's purple blade in 2002's Attack of the Clones, yellow lightsabers were actually one of the first non-green, red, or blue sabers seen on-screen thanks to the 2000 PS1 game Jedi Power Battles, which included Plo Koon wielding a yellow lightsaber. In Star Wars Legends, yellow lightsabers are used by Jedi Sentinels, and when the ancient Jedi Jaden Korr purified a red lightsaber crystal, it turned yellow, which perhaps indicates a pious nature within its user.

Other characters such as Asajj Ventress and Ahsoka have also wielded this lightsaber color at some point. Little is known about this particular lightsaber color, so whether these are made intentionally yellow to distinguish the guards, or the crystal chooses the temple guards by turning yellow is currently unclear. This color is almost exclusively used by Jedi Temple guards, who carry double-bladed yellow lightsaber pikes.
