A student of legendary Jedi Master Mace Windu, Billaba was herself an exceptional lightsaber combatant who often sought to pass on the skills she had learned. Her lightsaber consisted of a solid metal cylinder ending in a tapered pommel and a multi-ringed emitter, the latter of which was enveloped by a diamond-shaped metal segment that wrapped entirely around the hilt.
Billaba would wield her lightsaber during her time as a Jedi General until she perished during the execution of Order 66, where she used it to defend herself against her formerly loyal clone troopers whilst urging her Padawan, Caleb Dume, to flee until it was shot out of her hands.
Depa Billaba's lightsaber first appeared in the comic book Kanan 1, the first issue of the comic series Star Wars: Kanan. Concept art of the weapon created for Star Wars: The Clone Wars in 2012 showed it with a blue blade, but Kanan depicted it as green instead. The blue color was brought back by the reference book Star Wars: The Lightsaber Collection and the Star Wars: The Bad Batch television episode "Aftermath."
