Why The Acolyte's Lightsabers Are So Thick & What It Means For Star Wars Canon

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

The lightsabers in The Acolyte have been a major change to Star Wars, but the show has a good reason for the weapons' altered appearance. Viewers quickly noticed that The Acolyte's lightsabers looked quite different from those in other Star Wars movies and TV shows, and many took issue with it. Specifically, the lightsabers in the show are significantly thicker than lightsabers have been in the franchise so far, so much so that the Jedi in The Acolyte are often shown holding their lightsabers with both hands.
