Anakin Skywalker's first lightsaber was the first lightsaber owned and built by Anakin Skywalker. It had a blue plasma blade, chunky controls, and thick ridges on the handle. While Skywalker was fighting his way through Poggle the Lesser's battle droid foundries on Geonosis, his lightsaber was destroyed by a mechanical cutting arm. Shortly thereafter, the First Battle of Geonosis occurred, effectively starting the Clone Wars. Sometime prior to the Battle of Christophsis, Skywalker built himself a new lightsaber.

Some time after his and his masters mission to Carnelion IV, Skywalker and Kenobi were about to spar in the Jedi Temple training grounds when Anakin asked his master why the Jedi use lightsabers as opposed to any other weapon powered by kyber crystals.

After Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured by Count Dooku on Geonosis, Skywalker and Padmé Amidala launched a rescue attempt and infiltrated one of the Geonosian droid foundries. While fighting his way through the facility, Skywalker was knocked down and pinned beneath the machinery. He was able to free himself, but not before his lightsaber was cut in half by a descending mechanical blade. Skywalker was unaware the weapon has been destroyed until he attempted to activate it, remarking that Kenobi was going to kill him for not taking better care of the weapon.
At some point between his ordeal on Geonosis and the mission to Benglor, Anakin Skywalker built himself a new lightsaber. He would wield this lightsaber throughout the Clone Wars until his Duel on Mustafar. Despite the loss of his lightsaber, Skywalker built his third and final lightsaber that was based off of his first one.
