Why The Sith FEARED THIS Tiny Dagger More Than Any Lightsaber

5th January 2026

The Shikkar was a rare and disturbing Sith weapon from Star Wars Legends, originating in the Fate of the Jedi series, and stands apart from traditional lightsabers through its reliance on dark side alchemy rather than kyber crystals. Forged using Sith rituals, Shikkars often featured translucent, jagged blades infused with corrupted energy, capable of channeling pain, fear, and Force-based effects rather than pure plasma. These weapons reflected an older, more alien offshoot of Sith philosophy one that viewed the Force as something to be harvested, bound, and weaponized through ritual rather than discipline. The Shikkar embodies the grotesque ingenuity of ancient Sith craftsmanship and serves as a symbol of how far Sith experimentation could stray from both Jedi and modern Sith traditions.
