Every Lightsaber Color Explained

This is What Lightsaber Colors Mean

One of the best things about Star Wars regardless of what phase of the franchise you started with is the world that it can suggest. A passing line about the Clone Wars suggests an intriguing history that then can play out as its own series, or a mercenary can have less than ten lines and become a legend. Like many things in the course of production, the different colors of the lightsaber came down to production decisions. Having two white lightsabers fight made it hard to differentiate the blades, so the blades were turned to blue and red. When blue clashed against the blue sky, green was added. When a major star like Samual L Jackson wants a purple saber, another color is added. But just because these are production considerations, the story that they suggest has been built on, discarded, and then built on again. Whether it’s through the Expanding Universe or through the Disney canon, the colors of the lightsabers have evolved and gained meaning for the force user that wielded them. Some of the characters that have become tied to the color of their lightsabers, like Ahsoka’s white lightsabers or the Darksaber of the Mandalorians have helped to refine and define what the colors might mean, even when they don’t particularly mean that much. So what is the difference between canon and the Expanded Universe, and what do all the colors mean? We’ll take a look at what the colors use to mean, what some of the colors mean now, and what they might mean in the future as the Star Wars universe expands under the Disney stewardship.

"If you watched Rebels you'll know about the Darksaber"

Clone Wars: Am I a joke to you?

Purple's origin be like:

"Yeah, but I want a purple lightsaber"

- -Samuel.L.Jackson- M.Windu

Darksaber is the only one that is truly unique. Purple Lightsabers have been seen in Legends, but only one Darksaber has ever been seen. The Darksaber was an ancient weapon crafted by Tarre Vizsla, a Jedi.

It's up to the wielder of the blade to determine how deadly it can become, given the right training.

From real crystal lore:
Black:
The black crystal has unknow origin, but we
know he was created by the first
mandolarian ever introduce in the jedi order,
he stolen by mandeloreans, now it worshiped
as the symbol of leadership.

We yet dont know much about the black crystal so it is hard to figure out the meaning of it.

My favorite colors are purple and yellow purple represent the fusion of the light and dark yellow represents the fusion of Jedi guardian and Jedi Consular but if you fuse purple and yellow you make brown

Come on everyone knows that the only reason there was a purple lightsaber was because SLJ wanted too stand out whilst watching AoTC 😂

"Rey is a skywalker"
She adopted the name, she is not a member of the family, and never will be.

Umm, actually, most people who know about the dark saber know it from the clone wars, not rebels

[nolimitrickyy]

Purple lightsabers stand for being balanced in the force meaning using both the dark side and light side

[krishdeshmukh]
