Qui-Gon Jinn, a human Jedi Master, utilized a typical, single-bladed lightsaber. Qui-Gon Jinn employed this weapon up until the Battle of Naboo. During this battle, the Sith Lord Darth Maul inflicted mortally wounds upon him. Following this, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jinn's apprentice, utilized the very same lightsaber to triumph over Maul, succeeding after he lost his own. Subsequently, following the conflict, the weapon was given back to the Jedi Temple. As the Great Jedi Purge began, Kenobi once more obtained the blade, subsequently concealing himself on the planet of Tatooine. There was a time where Kenobi traversed the desert with both his master's lightsaber and that of his previous apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, fastened to his attire.
