"Your father's lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age."
---Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker
Mind you, his father used that same lightsaber to murder a bunch of children. Elegance!
And that same light saber was ripped in two between Ren and Ray after Snoke got whacked.
