I always theorized that the dark saber Crystal was made from hypercompacting beskar until it became crystalline: just like turning coal into diamonds.

[HinoTestsuExtra]

Imagine someone with the ghost-fire Crystal utilizing the forbidden technique of turning off their saber then reigniting it during battle… they’d be a terrifying force to be reckoned with and a member of the Jensaarai would not be against using such a frowned upon technique

[JesterOfShadows]

I do hope we see these crystals in the new games they are making. It would make for some pretty badass saber builds. (assuming we are getting a game better than the old republic that will allow us to make our own Jedi and Sith but build and choose our own path allowing us become somewhat neutral like Asoka after the wars.)

I have to admit I liked lightsabers more back when there was a variety of crystal options; each with possible traits, and predetermined colors. Mace Windu's Hurikan, and I know I spelled that wrong, crystal was good against armor, and one reason his purple blade was so rare was that few other people ever got the chance to wield such a crystal. Luke Skywalker has to start a program that protected the fearsome Krayt Dragons of Tatooine, because kraft dragon pearls made awesome lightsaber cores. Well before Harry Potter rose to prominence, Star Wars was like that with lightsaber cores, and then Disney went all Ollivander, and put their own limiting stamp on things, reducing the colors, and the types of crystals that could even be used, even though other options had existed. Oh well, things do change, and I can only whine pointlessly so much. I won't remember the name given to it by Fantasy Flight Games, because I am AFB at the moment, but the name-sharing crystal you could find on Dantooine, that sort of absorbed loose Force energy around the Exile, and could feed it back into the wielder, somewhat strengthening their ability to use the Force, is my overall favorite; it ticks the rarity box, without having to kill something to get one, and in addition to making a potent lightsaber, it also assisted it's Force-using bearer in that arena, as well.

I think the most terrifying lightsaber crystal and lightsaber wielder combination would have been General Grievous with four lightsabers that each had one or more ghostflame lightsaber crystals. Just imagine it, he splits his arms into four, ignites the four lightsabers, and now he can hardly tell how many arms he really has, and which ones will come for your neck. My favorite lightsaber crystal from legends would have to be the mustafar lava crystal. Krayt Dragon pearls are a close second, and while I didn't see about how they affected the lightsaber blade in legends, I do like the disney canon version.

The Ghostfire Crystal was always one of my favorites. It’s perfect for an assassin or duelist.

But I had no idea that something like the Cold Lightsaber existed. Someone like Vader or Palpatine wouldn’t be able to use it. But imagine if Revan had it.

Something I have to add. Gantoris's lightsaber was also a Corusca Gem lightsaber. It was a 3 crystal Saber that produced a very pale purple blade with an electric blue outline. It could also change lengths. Gantoris constructed it while partially under the influence of the Spirit of Exar Kun, though Gantoris didn't survive very long after its construction, the lightsaber did. It was eventually inherited by Kyp Durron.

I remember I once designed a Sith Character who learned the Ways of the Dark Side out of Necessity. He used a Special Blue Crystal in his Lightsaber that had an effect of calming his mind and keeping him focused, after seeing Pontite on this list, it’s nice to know such Crystals exist.

[lydiaives]

I love the personality and variety the cystals give the saber. Especially like the ones that choose their wielders

[shinybugg]

I like the sound of that ghostfire saber!

[Casper-Ghost]

I would put the Stygium crystal in there since it makes it's user invisible and boosts their mental tricks as well as being invisible itself.

[SaltyMaverick]

I'd never heard of a couple of these before. After learning about that Etaan crystal, I think I'd have to go for one of those. That sounds like my style right there.

[TiltedTilterGaming]

Imagine how strong the pull to the light would be if you combined the crystal that heals with the Pontite crystal.

A lightsaber made with both in it’s hilt would be an unstoppable instrument of the light side.

[outbreakperfected]

THANK YOU for mentioning the dark saber being able to potentially cut beskar. I personally think the reason it can cut beskar is because it was designed to be like the mandolorian vibroblade so it oscilates energy energy along the edge so it on contact with beskar it would start heating the metal up because of it oscillating the energy so fast the friction starts to melt the

[tyrranicalt-rad]

Nah man, the blue meth crystal is the most dangerous ! 🤣

[lynngreen]

Kaiburr Crystal increases the Force power of the wielder. It was so impressive, the name was distorted and used to supplant Agedan as the default name for all Lightsaber Crystals, making the plot of Splinter of the Minds Eye senseless in the context of the DisCorp Continuity.
Hurrikane Crystals (like Mace Windu's) have a similar potency, but limited to lightsaber combat.

[ericvulgate]

I really do prefer the old idea that red crystals were synthetic.
'bleeding' a crystal sounds dumb.

[freddiebinthaplacebe]

Beskar actually can and has been damaged by lightsabers though it takes prolonged exposure like literally pressing it against the armor for long periods of time

[CptMoroni]

I would certainly want a Ghost Fire crystal in my lightsaber hilt

[jlyvren]

🤔... I'd preferred any crystal that helped calm the mind, as my mind is in constant chaos & conflict with itself.
