How come Sith only have red sabers? Seems weird. 1eye

Some have different. Just a preference I suppose and its iconagraphic with evil these days.

Darth Faunus
The color red is supposed to represent passion, which is why it is generally off-limits for Jedi, and embraced by the Sith.

Ianus
And in EU the crystals are gleaned from Ruusan and represent blood.

Tangible God
Red lightsabers represent passion, anger, violence and aggression...all the qualities needed to audition on Galactic Idol: Sith Edition.

Se7in
The Jedi controlled most lightsaber crystal sources (Ilum, Dantooine) and the Sith wanted to work behind the scenes without knowledge of their presence. They created synthetic crystals which gave the sabers a red hue.

in the KOTOR games you can have any color you want on both sides...I think the red usu stems from the intimidating factor...evil too busy to be asthetically pleasing all the time

bobcrickett
Red represents a number of things: blood, anger, passion...

The greens and blues of the Jedi are calmer colors, if I recall kindergarten through third grade correctly. Basic colors.

Because lightsabers are supposed to be blue. Just like everyone knows that stop signs are supposed to be red, but in Hawai'i we have blue stop signs, which is wierd to most Mainlanders.

*Seinfeld*

So, what about those red lightsabers? I mean, why are they red or made of light? I don't get it!

Ianus
lmao!

Rex, let's go play "socker"!!!

Master Fisto
The jedi control many if not all of the naturally ocurring 'crystals'...meaning that the sith must use synthetic ones...and for some reason i forgot why they all happen to be red...but that is definately the main reason...

right on Se7in

CaptainBen
I hold the truth



Because its badass

overlord
Ha! In the first SW drafts all stormtroopers and sith had blue lightsabers and the heroes red lightsabers, so all arguments are futile. stick out tongue

Darth Jello
Red represents aggressive emotions, blood, and danger.

It also represents royalty and was traditionally the color of the vatican inquisition and the holy Roman emperor. The original imperial color of Rome was purple, though.

overlord
Doesn't matter. Still is a stupid thread.

Council#13
Anakin had a blue one (says in a whining voice)

xyz jedi
You know, I thought that it was tradition for sith having red, like the race and planet.

Tangible God
It is. All Sith acquaint themselves with a red lightsaber, but if a red crystal is unavailable to you, then they'll use what they can get, like blue or green.

Red lightsabers aren't mandatory to be a Sith.

green is a secondary color

They are red because red is cool like that, better than using sticks.

well said, and its because red represents anger and all that shit , thats y

overlord
It actually has no reason at all. Like many other SW things, it is just coincidence instead of that every little thing is pre-meditated.
