The one thing that gets me boiled over about Ep2 is the fact that the entire jedi nation only have blue and green lightsabers, I know Mace gets a purple one, but he's just one man.

I at least wanted orange ones, but no dice.

I'm a little bored by the lack of colors, and I know you kids are gonna say " George wanted it this way" but George is a jerk.

there seems to be a lot of purple sabers in the arena

And Mace has one.

From what I've been told:

Blue
Green
and 1 purple

Difficult to say how many Jedi wear purple ones. Sometimes the blue ones look purple too.... and perhaps the other way around.

Sharp bet that it's just the one purple and just a small illusion in the arena.

I want to see a yellow lightsaber! Right now! And more purples! And whites!

Well, no use crying over spilled milk. The movie is ready to be released...in...9...days...

WOOHOO!!!

Well, you won't see them.

BTW, Yoda's sabre is not in his cane.

white saber, would be to alike the blue one

All sabres are white, only the glow has a different colour.

white aint a color

True. It's all colours combined.

don't think any new colors will come now...

Actually it isn't, black is. White is absence of color.

No, black is absence of light. White is all parts of the colour spectre.

This is about LIGHTSABERS, not LIGHTS!

It's still about light.

Go ahead and mix every color together and tell me what color you get. I can tell you that it isn't white.

white light is composed of all the colors of the spectrum .

Yes, Helmet, you are way wrong on this one. I think you are confusing light with pigment.

Of course white light is comprised of all colours; that's why you can split it through prisms, and it can form rainbows. You ever seen blackness form a rainbow?

This is a stupid conversation.

Well, you started it! That point needed refuting.

Black and white are absent color, which is what I said. This has nothing to do with light or SW. There are only 3 colors for sabers and 1 purple one.

You said white is the absence of colour, and it is not. That's all.

Really? Take note of definition 1:

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary

1) Free of color.

First of all, that link of yours does not lead anywhere.

Secondly, you are only making yourself look increasingly foolish. Anyone who knows the slightest bit of physics knows that white is the combination of all light in the colour spectrum. I will point you again to my points about prisms and rainbows. And did you ever note that when there isn't any light things go BLACK!?

Only in a pigment sense can white be considered to be colourless.

I HAVE looked it up in a dictionary, where colourless is just one of several meanings.

Why don't YOU look it up in a basic physics book? You really are looking VERY stupid right now.

How can something be colorless and have color? Thank God I didn't take your Physics class.

Ok, pay attention, Helmet...

My physics classes were EXTREMELY good, unlike yours, apparently

I already told you that white is considered colourless ONLY with regards to pigment.

With light, it is ALL colours of the spectrum.

Now, as you seem to have sadly not been taught this very basic piece of information, here are some webistes that explain the point, from many different angles, and quite clearly, so you won;t lose track.

I think you will find the last link, aimed at a 12 year old, will make it the most clear for you.

Here we go with light again. Were' talking about colors, not light, EDITED

Not that those two things are mutually exclusive, Helmet, as light has colour.

But we ARE talking about light. We are very VERY clearly talking about light. Lightsabres are hardly pigmentation, are they? They are light sources. Hence the glow, see? Hence it being light.

And you have been warned about your language before, Helmet.

EDITED- For repetitive pointlessness.

http://www.thesaurus.com/roget/III/429.html

or you can make a mod like in JO and change it all

EDITED. Again, a pointless repeat post.

What on Earth is that link for? That's just comparing adjectives for one use of the word 'white'

Did you bother to read the five links I gave you?

They are all definitions of "absence of color"

I don't care about your physics links. We aren't talking about light here. We are talking about color.

And I will repeat again Helmet, that it has been clearly stated, by the moderator for this area, that we are talking about LIGHT.

And by the way get your physics sites to spell color correctly.

That's the way it is spelt in the UK, Helmet.

It figures. They have sex on TV, but may change the rating of AOTC, because of a head butt.

errr... you know what... post a poll in GDF to ask about it, you'll see everyone will disagree with you helmet... even I know the answer on this one...

Yeah, whatever. Steer away from cultural comments in future.

Now it has been definitely established that, as queeq said very clearly, we are talking about LIGHT, and it has also been established that white light is a combination of all colours in the spectrum, this thread should stop being distracted and return to topic.

What does that have to do with Star Wars? Nothing. It's a movie guys, wake up. They don't follow the laws of physics. If they did, Anakin wouldn't be able to jump from a speeder a couple hundred feet and land on a speeder.

Nothing wrong with exercising your mind, Helmet.

Again, Helmet, you commented on it, so you should expect the fall-out from it.

The fall out? Please, you are bringing Physics into a science fiction film. That's why it's called fiction, you bozo. You do know that the Force doesn't exist.

AGAIN, Helmet, you are the one who commented on the colour thing in opposition to what queeq said. If you thought it was so irrelevant you should have said so at the time. But you didn't, you made an erroneous statement, and you have NO grounds to complain when you are called out as being wrong about it.

We bring everything else into these movies..why not physics?...

why not Darth Legion... please?

Yeah, I brought up color, not light and physics. And I am right about the color thing. By the way there is no such thing as colored light. Rainbows are caused by light reflecting off of water.

Hmmm...wrong.

So much for Mr Know-it-all... maybe I'll explain it to you right someday.

No. Queeq brought up the issue of colour. You said he was wrong, which he was not, and then queeq clearly said he, and thefefore the thread, was talking about LIGHT.

And there IS such a thing as coloured light, othrwise everything you saw would be white! You ever seen light split by a prism?

In any case, Helmet, my opinion on all this has been made perfectly clear. Which is: We were talking about light, and if you thouigh we were not you were wrong. And white light is all the colours of the spectrum combined.

I don't want to hear ANY more on this silly diversion that only one man disagrees with. That's final.

What are you going to do, ban me? Then I will just come log on under another name.

IP and e-mail and some secret thingies actually...

Ooooh, I'm scared now.

Wait, I have to turn down my purple light.

that remembers me...

what is the chance GL will make a yellow sabre?

Ok, Helmet, you are getting an official warning from me, which if you are flippant about WILL result in a banning. And if you come back, Raz has more permanent ways to keep you away. it;s happened plenty of times before.

how many warnings does one get actually?

You mean that reminds me, right?

And as far as the yellow saber goes, you have a better chance of being in Episode III.

well, I always hoped Yoda had a yellow one!

But then I took it....hehe.

and you will get payed for it, I take?

HElmet, helmet. And you were such a good boy the last few days...... tsk tsk tsk.

I'm not worried, trust me.

But you should be. This time I'm around to see your handiwork.... and I'm getting in the mood.

*clears the path to the closet*

Funny, I don't feel scared.

As I said: You should be. By the time you get scared now, it's already too late.

Just to let you know, the bashing has been reported. Since you guys do it, maybe I should.

Bashing? WOOOHAHAHAHHA.... hardly.

THese are warnings, Helmet. It's not all that hard to be friendly online you know.

Apology accepted.

please shut up. I don't give a rats rectum about this whole light thing, this thread is about LIGHTSABERS, not light in general, so anyways, the whole blue and green thing is really boring, I think GL should have put more colors just to spice it up a bit BADABING BADABOOM.


p.s if someone wants to argue with me about why George W. is not a good president please pm me and we'll have at it. And don't come in saying " He's gonna lower taxes" .

Wow! Emperor Helmet is right for once! I mixed a bunch of paints together and got blackish-grey!


The absence of color is black...plain and simple...you small minded...argumentative...freak...from...a certain...place that...is...very...VERY...HOT!!!

http://CMy Documents\Jordan's Files\Smile Men\Hot.gif

Who cares what color the lightsabers are? What difference does it make?

Isn't it more important HOW the lightsabers are used, and if they have anything to do with the plot?

Well who the F**k cares about what black and white is, jeeze this is my damn thread, and I say close the bastard.

ok, let's keep it nice and easy, and preferable ontopic...

sooooooooooooooooooooo... Mace and purple huh?

OKay, first of Merc, Don't tell people to shut up.

Secondly guys, just because you start a topic doesn't mean you own it. You don't get to chose when it gets closed and if people want to discuss other things about the topic that you don't like then that's tough...don't post it.

Thirdly colors in paint or print is different than color in light so, no..Helmet wasn't really right..not that I"m rubbing it in at this point but I don't want you guys to be misguided. If you're that interested in the effects of color mixing take a color theory class.

Agreed...
"Newton color circle" is a test:

Do a paper circle, divide it as a pie, and paint each part with diffrent colors. Then put it on some sort of an engine (you can paste it on a fan ) and make irt spin really fast: you willl see that all the colors, when it spins really fast, makes WHITE.
It was a test on my school, when I was a child.

And when you see a BLACK object, is just because it HASN't any color to reflect.


the discussion gets blurry when you explains the THEORY OF COLOR:
An object absorbes all the colors except the one you see, because it is reflected to your eyes, or something (i KNOW USH CAN EXPLAIN IT A LOT BETTER THAN I)
SO: when you see black, all the colors were absorved, and none is reflected to your eyes, and it can make the wrong impression that BLACK is the mix of all colors...

Thanks professor.

he is right though

Thanks.

I was actually refering to Pluto eehh peluffo`s post there, as you didnt know

Of course I knew.

anyways are you sure there is only one purple lightsaber, cause at the endd of the clone war trailer it seems to be more

Yeah, just 1.

hmm doesnt really matter though. I have been happy with three colors we`ve seen so far

Me too. I would have loved more, but oh well. At least this stops all rumors about it, even for Episode III. The only question is, will Mace have the same color in EPisode III.

guess so

Geonosis is a red planet etc, basicly some people say blue looks purple then...

I hope this is true, since we never saw purple, and then all of a sudden a few hundred knights have it
