It's not the color of your lightsaber that matter

I also heard that it depends on the color of the crystal. But I wonder, has Lucas ever said how lightsabers are made?

In I JEDI the blade colour and length is absed on the type of jewel (colour) and the size of the jewel.

I just looked at the VD and it shows the crystals inside Luke's lightsabre as being just plain white-translucent colour yet I don't remember his sabre ever being white (well maybe when the effects went a bit dodgy but that's about it), so I'm now presuming that it depends on something other than the colour of the jewel.

I don't know the visual dictionary but I heard it was the most ropey resource going when it came to mucking up the facts???

But how can we work out what is fact at all? Unless GL explains it in the future then could any of the source books be correct? Perhaps this is another matter that holds many different answers and will never truly be answered.

Oh I know, what I meant is I heard it was "less official" but I may be mistaken. Is it a fully authorise book? As I said, I've never seen it.

I'm surprised you've never seen it, I thought it was quite famous as a source book. And it is most certainly an official lucasfilm book. It was wrote by the same guy who wrote the incredible cross-section books and it is full of hundreds of photos that can be found nowhere else, so I'm sure only Lucasfilm books could have had access to such archives.

I'll have to look it out. I hope that eventually they will come up with some definative books on the whole of the 2 trilogies and EU and then make authors stick to them.

Yeah a MASSIVE source book explaining EVERYTHING Star Wars would be cool. It would have to be mighty huge though.

yeah, frikkin 600 pages

Isn't there a massive encyclopedia for Star Trek?
(Sorry to bring that up. I know it hurts when those two words are put together)

Probably, but it can't be any where near complete until EpII&III are complete.

To the best of my knowledge I don't think Lucas has ever mentioned the particulars of how a lightsaber is made. It would be cool to see in one of the next two movies.

I heard Anakin gets his blue crystal from Amidala as a gift.

Where did you hear that? Sounds like something someone's made up, although I guess it could be true.

I don't really remeber.

this whole topic is EU

Not entirely. We've been discussing if we'll find out more about the colours of lightsabres in future films.

And also whether a canon method of lightsaber construction will finally be revealed.

If we donb't see it in Episode-II I doubt we ever will. I don't think there will be tiome top expore this in EpIII. There will be too much other stuff happening (I hope!!!)

<sigh> I've decided to bring back this topic for various reasons.1) Rick MCallum stated that there are only three colors of lightsabers( Son of A B***) Blue, Green, Red.2) I hate Rick MCallum, and want to yell at him in public.3) that crazy lightsaber sight said that blue means "Passive" green means"direct", and red means "evil".4) I want to yell at the creator of that site in public. that's about it.

I hate the idea of only having 3 colors of lightsabers(lightsabers being my favorite aspect of Star Wars) and if We don't see different color lightsabers by Ep.3 I am giving up Star Wars. (no, not really, but that's how I feel)
and I don't think that all the crystals in the universe are blue, green, and red.
