General Grievous didn’t just kill Jedi – he collected the weapons that defined them.
Throughout the Clone Wars, Grievous carved a path of destruction across the galaxy, cutting down Jedi and taking their lightsabers as gruesome trophies. As Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army, he wielded these sabers not just as tools of battle, but as psychological weapons – reminders that even the Jedi could fall.
Though not Force-sensitive, Grievous was a terrifyingly effective warrior, trained in the Jedi arts by Count Dooku himself. Thanks to his cybernetic enhancements, he could wield up to four sabers at once, using styles adapted from Jedi Forms I through VII. But his true legacy is in the sheer number of sabers he claimed.
According to Lightsabers: A Guide to Weapons of the Force, here’s what we know about his notorious collection.

What About Red Lightsabers?
Although most fans associate Grievous with green and blue sabers taken from Jedi, he once owned a small collection of red-bladed Sith weapons as well. That is, until they were lost.
According to Star Wars Manga: Silver (non-canon), Grievous tracked a pair of Dark Jedi to the planet Dica, where they had stolen his entire cache of red sabers. During the ensuing battle, the lightsabers – his and theirs – were knocked into one of Dica’s infamous acid lakes, destroyed beyond recovery.

Final Count
The exact number of sabers in Grievous’s possession remains a topic of debate, but according to existing records, he is known to have collected over 30 distinct lightsabers from fallen Jedi and Dark Jedi alike.
Some were recovered after his death by the Empire. Others may still be buried in the wreckage of ruined ships and forgotten battlefields.
But one thing is certain – no one else in galactic history assembled such a deadly and earned collection of Jedi weapons. Each blade was taken, not gifted. Earned, not inherited. They were more than just lightsabers. They were his legacy.
