so why did gl ban the idea of different colour lightsabers such as plo wit a yellow and galia wit red etc..............

Darth Travizzle
why don't you ask someone who cares?

dflood
shut up you bollocks . i care you dumb shite

SithSpy
Probaly b/c he wanted to keep it clear cut, Good guys--blue/green bad guys--red. He made an exception per samuel L.'s request to have a purple saber

Dude Vader
So did Yoda ask for a green one????

laughing

Dude Vader
I think I read somewhere that the different colours relate to the different levels of a Jedi!

No actually thats wrong, the colours have nothing to do with the ranks of Jedi, its a matter of personal preference, thats it.

Dflood, Darth Travizzle, you guys are so mature. I commend you. stick out tongue

Meh, in the movies, there are only those four colors, but EU says otherwise.

The green lightsaber was created in Return of the Jedi because they couldn't have a blue saber on a blue background (the Tatooine sky).

Well, they were in the middle of a battle...I'm sure Anakin didn't care what color his lightsaber was as long as he had one... It's not really his....it's just a kind of back up

That's because he lost his lightsaber and someone just tossed him an extra one so he could fight.

I've never heard of such a thing. Sources, dude.. state your sources.

Anyways, I always thought that the Sith carry Red sabers because red = passion.

"The Sith rely on their passion for their strength..."

chilled monkey
Lucas should have introduced lots of new colours in the PT. Yellow, purple, orange, pink, brown etc It would give the Jedi so much more individuality. Samuel L. Jackson should be applauded for getting that purple blade out of him.

Don't forget black...

*sigh* roll eyes (sarcastic)

obi-wan geynobi
yarael poof, jocasta nu, depa billaba = yellow
alot of people = blue
alot of people = green
mace windu, mara jade, jaina solo = purple
plo koon = first blue but then orange
corran horn = silver

obi-wan geynobi
oops no expression

sith = red

my sorce is the game ,jedi power battles and star wars toys and books etc.................

I said something very similar about the big fight scene in Attack of the Clones.

"What a colorful battle!"

Dude Vader
I just found this while searching on google.
h**p://**w.starwarsdotcom.com/star_wars/lightsabers/colors.html
But what I dont get is it says that Count Douku has Blue/Green. Was his not Red???

DeVi| D0do
Maybe before he became a Sith?

Dude Vader
Hmm...Good thinking batman!

first off most of that is EU, and is not lucas's vision. (other then Blue, Green, Red, and Purple)

second silver lightsabers are almost as stupid as black lightsabers and gold lightsabers. you cant make silver light, nor can you make gold light. and you especially cannot make black light. (that whole darksaber thing is just dumb) it should be called a lack-of-lightsaber.

yet another example of EU writers going overboard and being stupid with thier ideas.

SithSpy
lack-of-lightsaber--LMAO

How is it impossible to have silver lightsabers? It'd just be a fancy way of calling them white, which is a color of light.

chilled monkey
((The_Anomaly)): You're entitled to your opinion, but what exactly is wrong with more colours? It's more interesting.

Silver lightsabres would be awesome! I agree about black though. That would make them 'anti-light' sabres (like anti-matter).

I still think Sammy J had a purple blade because the sword style he created required him to flirt with the darkside to be effective.

Red+Blue=purple.

DeVi| D0do
Sammy J got a purple saber coz Sammy J asked for a purple saber. Apparently Sammy J always gets what Sammy J wants...

Boris
Naturally, he is a bmf.

viking12344
Yeah but if Sammy J asked for a pink light sabre, GL would have laughed at him. I think it went something like, " You have three choices, green, blue or grape". Least they can logically explain purple.
Seriously, I think Jackson sucked as Windu. Never liked the character as played by him one bit and hearing how he had to have something unique is ridiculous. I mean hell, a completely digitilized yoda stole every scene from him when they were togther anyway. How BMF is that?

LOL.......

My favorite part of the movie is when Sidious zaps his arogant azz off the balcony, wonder who found the sabre below?

matreid
I know its EU but Lowbacca had a bronze saber. Thats kinda cool.

yes, white sabers are not silver, there white...

and i personally dont care, but lucas is as lucas does...

(other then the black one, which honestly is the dumbest thing ever)

well as i said, sure silver, would be.....interesting...

but you cant actually make silver light the closest you can get is white, which was said.

and for gold the closest thing u can get is yellow. i have no problem with yellow. in my opinion i think that these saber colours should be allowed:

Blue
Green
Red
Purple
Orange
Yellow
Pink
and white (but i think white would make a better training saber colour i.e. sabers that work and feel like real ones but are non-lethal)

also a few variations of the colours would be ok, like aqua green or light blue etc. etc.

mostly im just against a saber that actually is Gold, or actually Silver

and the black one...i just have no comment since its so dumb

spencerspider
a black one would be a darksaber lol

Ogami Itto
I agree!!!! black white gold silver :yucky

Darth Halo
well a whitesaber can probably be a colorful crystal that has aged somehow and lost it's color showing how old the and wisened the user is. Too bad they die or lose their lightsaber handling limbs

LOL !!! isn;t a bronze saber just ...well.. a sword???

Darth_fury
so many different colours



so confusing

twinsabers
The color depends are the crystal that is put in the saber. the crystal is what makes the color so there could be yellow, orange, bronze, etc. GL wanted to make it simple in the movies so people wouldn't get confused with who was good and who was bad (green/blue=good; red=bad)

dflood
i was disappointed to see plo without a yellow

Yeah. He thinks that we're so stupid that characters have to be colour-coded.

Ogami Itto: it wasn't actually made of bronze. It was just bronze-coloured.

hi devildodo it is me your apprentice

I like black,white,red,green,yellow,blue lightsaber color's.

Lord Matreid
That was a pointless bump Calladus...

Captain REX
That was a waste of time and space, Calladus. Don't. Bump. Dead. Threads.

stuwienl
maybe they didnt have more colours because it would be too much work. but the lightsabers dont have any colours but its the glow that makes it look blue/green or red or whatever.

david flood
whats wrong with bumping dead thread

its my thread so im alowing him and .......davey flood wants people to bump this thread ,so davey gets what he wants stick out tongue

stuwienl
just saying what i thought.

DARTH LONER
all i know is that i heard lucas say it is a preference to choose any colored crystal to make the lighsaber.i guess red is popular with the sith for reasons similar blue and green are top choices of jedi.i wanna know if we are going to see some lightsaber duels in the star wars t.v. show ???

Captain REX
No one knows anything about the TV show. But if it is going to be about the Clone Wars or the end of the Purge, most likely there will be.

He WAS a jedi before and, actually there's something inacurate about Sing. She has several light sabers but the one she uses in "Outlander" is orange I think.

FistoFan
Actually, ob-wan geynobi, Yarael Poof's lightsaber was blue, Depa Billaba's was green, and Jocasta Nu's was green.

There already is a Pink saber. Just watch Vaders saber in the DVD.

Captain REX
Or watch the Pink 5 fan films. stick out tongue

Jetton
Do any of you guys even know how the colors relate to the Jedi....?

((The_Anomaly))
they dont relate at all.

its personal prefrence.

Jetton
Jedi picked there saber color on what the focus on in the Force...
I would explain what I mean but I am busy right now

Captain REX
I know what you mean, but I don't prefer that answer. It's just personal preference, as far as I'm concerned.

Yarael Poof's saber:

That's how I know his is blue. The circle around the handle tells what color it is.
This is Depa's. She had a red one, then a green one.

FistoFan
This is her green one.
http://www.thelightsaber.com/HistorySabers/SmallPics/DepaBillabaGRSM.jpg
It's the same one. She probably just changed the crystal.

And this is Jocasta's:

if you watch the webdocs from ep.2 it has a scene where lucas was talking to sam about his saber color and sam asks if he could have purple, then lucas aid that he'd think about it or something, it WAS at the request of sam because he wanted to stick out amongst the other nameless jedi

garrison

garrison

.:Space Opera:.

Corran Horn had a silver lightsaber. It says that on www.starwars.com/databank/character/corranhorn/index.html
