Have there been any characters in the EU who have wielded lightsabres with pink blades?

Off the top of my head I can't think of any.

Mace Windu?

I thought that Leia had one for a while...


Does it matter?

I don't think there has been any. However it's not impossible considering we've had even silver lightsabers.

No, Mace's sabre had a purple blade, not pink.

I know she had a red one for a time, but pink, I don't know.

It does to me. I'm curious and I want to know.

Websites are the quickest words to transition into verbs that I've yet seen: I use "I'll Youtube it," "I'll Wikipedia it," and "I'll Google it" without a second thought. The internet is among the strongest forces for lexicographic change that I know of.

Also: has anyone noticed that due to the heteronormative behavior of the whole board the OP had to qualify a question about a pink lightsaber with an affirmation that he was serious? Why wouldn't it be a serious question?

mainly because some people would make "pink lightsabers" with an outline something like this:

So in conclusion, you must write "serious question" above any post so that people won't come in and instantly tell you to STFU and GTFO.

I am somewhat surprised to see the term/sociopolitical concept "heteronormativity" may i ask if you are familiar with Judith Butler? Although not certain, I believe the genesis of the word traces back to her earlier work, Gender Trouble. Anyway, I conjecture the unnecessary addendum had to do with a perceived faltering masculinity rather than sexual trepidation, although whether you can truly separate gendered life from sexual desire is a whole different debate.

I'm embarrassed to say that I've only heard the word in context: I've not read any of her work. A cursory glance over her Wiki-Page suggests that it might be worth reading.

My point was that the lack of confidence in masculinity was because of the heteronormative behavior of the board. If one is so intimidated by the imagined blow-back of a potentially "queer" question, in this case about the color pink, then we must ask ourselves whether the OP'ers social conditioning offline was the motivation, or if the close mindedness of the board itself gave rise to the qualification. If the former then we can bemoan the current homophobia rampant in today's America, without any introspection as to our own behavior. One can see why this is the more attractive option. My fear is that the (even subconscious) message and atmosphere in this part of KMC is leading to a subtle exclusion of members whose personal identity is even remotely misaligned with the current standard of posters, who all seem to be heterosexual males. While this is a majority, both on the internet and in real life, I wouldn't want my membership in a certain vocal majority to ostracize anyone simply by dint of my differing worldview.

Okay, this can all be discussed in the General Discussion section.

I apologise if I gave the wrong impression. I promise I did not intend to ostracise anybody.

I didn't think of that. Thanks for the advice.

Look man, I was being obnoxiously pretentious. Don't take anything I said there too seriously. Think of it as a joke and you will be OK. You weren't the one doing the excluding anyway. I was implying that you felt the need to "cover up" your latent...


Just think of it as a joke. The postmodern essay generator could have done it much better than I could, and in less time too.

I'm heavily offended!

But not really.

Anyways, Wookieepedia should have a list of lightsaber colors.
