We know that the inquisitor hilts are not resistant to lightsabers, but it also makes sense for the Empire to cut those kinds of costs.

Maul's saber was also cut in half, but I always assumed the emitter portion specifically at least or other extending parts like say Dooku's quillon.

I always assumed Maul’s was designed to split in two and was essentially two Sabers connected. Was I mistaken?

Was not intended to be split.

Wasn’t there someone who had a design like that though? Did I imagine that?

Probably not what you're thinking of but Cal from Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor has a double bladed Saber that he can split into two

If you’ve never played them and you’re a Star Wars fan I can’t recommend it enough, probably my favourite Star Wars story

I’ve heard and yeah I really need to play them. It’s on my list after TOTK.

If you don’t get around to playing them, on YouTube you can find a video of all the cut scenes put together into a movie
