Kylo Ren’s lightsaber is one of the most iconic weapons in the Star Wars universe. The crossguard design is unique and instantly recognizable.

If you’re a fan of Star Wars, or just want to have a Kylo Ren lightsaber of your own, you can easily make one in Photoshop.

First, open Photoshop and create a new document. Make sure the background is black, as this will be the color of Kylo Ren’s lightsaber.

Next, use the Rectangle Tool to draw a horizontal rectangle in the center of the document. This will be the body of the lightsaber.

Make sure the rectangle is fairly thin, as Kylo Ren’s lightsaber is not as thick as other lightsabers in the Star Wars universe.

Once you have the basic shape of the lightsaber, it’s time to add the details. First, use the Line Tool to draw a vertical line down the center of the rectangle.

This will be the line that divides the crossguard blades.

Next, use the Rectangle Tool to draw two small rectangles on either side of the vertical line. These will be the crossguard blades.

Make sure they are evenly spaced and symmetrical.

PRO TIP: This process is not for the faint of heart. It requires a lot of patience and attention to detail. If you are not careful, you could easily create a KYLO Ren lightsaber that looks like it was made in Photoshop.

Finally, use the Ellipse Tool to draw a small circle at the top of the rectangle. This will be the button that activates Kylo Ren’s lightsaber.

Your Kylo Ren lightsaber is now complete! You can further customize it by changing the colors or adding your own personal touches. Just remember to keep it dark and menacing like Kylo Ren’s own lightsaber.
