I like how these have been put together because I’m pretty sure Luke’s lightsaber in ROTJ was green just because they thought him having a blue one against the sky on Tattooine would’ve been hard to see back then..

5:12 "We have red, the indicator of the Sith."
*Shows Kit Fisto with a green lightsaber*
Ah yes, Kit Fisto, my favorite Sith Lord

“Cyan is a color crystal only seen in Jedi Fallen Order.”

KOTOR 2: “Do I mean nothing to you?”

[KnightTechStudios]

I recall watching a documentary, bonus material from the Phantom Menace DVD. Sam Jackson asked Lucas about light saber color. Lucas said (paraphrasing) “good guys are green or blue, bad guys are red.” Sam said “Can I have purple?”, Lucas shrugged and said “yeah we can do that”

Remember, artists make aesthetic choices.

FINALLY!! a reliable guide to the meanings of all the lightsaber colors!

It should also be noted that the darksaber may be stronger, since it made the beskar spear glow as if it was starting to melt, whereas Ahsoka's lightsabers didn't have that effect.

I like to think Orange might mean a great sense of loneliness, or being one of the last of one’s kind, not belonging to an order anymore. It would explain Rey and Cal, but got me stumped for Yaddle

[ZenRyoku]

the only legends color saber i thought was fascinating was the orange or bronze saber specifically used by Lowbacca... (chewey's son)

that one i thought was always really cool... because up until that point there was no wookie jedi...

My favorite color is definitely amethyst. I love the idea of a force wielder like Mace Windu or Revan being able to utilize both sides of the force in balance.

When I played the Star Wars RPG, I created a character that wielding a single, violet colored blade, as a grey (maybe dark) jedi.

Just as a writer, I think it'd be fun to have the Darksaber crystal have one of two origins. First and easiest being that Tarre found it in the living waters beneath the mines of Mandalore. It grew out of a beskar deposit. Second and more out there idea is that in Rogue One, it was said Stars have cores of pure kyber, and Tarre may have gotten his from a black hole.

[Spidey-Mo]

I actually wrote a story with friends set in the old republic of Star Wars and we each made a character through who we’d do chapters and such from, mine was actually a Jedi shadow with a yellow double saber (the first of his kind actually, so perhaps the first and POSSIBLY the only to naturally imbue a kyber with a yellow color). It’s such a cool and unique type of Jedi and I love seeing them get more love and popularity/exposure.

One issue that you might need to update when you get a moment. In Ahsoka, both Baylen and Shin wield orange light sabers. That kind of nullifies your comments on the orange blade in this video. Great work as always, though, I’ve just been going through some of your older videos lately!

[whooll]

This was actually really cool. I love it when there's even just a little bit more info able to be learned in this universe. And that can especially go for when it comes to anything connected to lightsaber lore.

[OfficialFedHater]

Legends: lightsaber colors vary based on what kind of crystal you choose with many crystals having special effects along with rare colors

[jacobforrester]

I still like the idea of an extra ornery Sentinel turning a yellow saber a touch orange as they imprint on it. Like a natural wood flame color.

[andrewgarrett]

I'd go with either blue or cyan. After hearing the descriptions of each lightsaber color, does anyone else think that a cyan crystal would have suited Anakin better? I could also see him wielding a purple one if he were more centered as a person.

[crazynoob]

Would love to see one reviewing all colors in existing in legends as well, that would be awesome

[StevenHouse]

My Darksaber theory is that the crystal is some form of Dark Matter, perhaps condensed over time in a Black Hole in the Maw-Cluster. then harvested by useing the Force to collaps the Black Hole back in on it's self. thus makeing the Maw-Cluster even more dangerus than it was.

Me: Explaining all the different colors of lightsabers and what they mean.
My sister: Yeah, but is there any pink ones?

[ericblue]

Great video! Thanks for this! I personally like the blue, cyan, and amethyst blades.
