Cyan and orange aren't just shown in Fallen order. They made their appearance in KOTOR and KOTOR 2. No real background story on their meanings though Maybe it's just a coloured kyber without a meaning. Although in KOTOR two there is something interesting you can get only one or the other depending on your light, or Darkside alignment. This is surely a game mechanic but it opens up the possibility of a natural color for light, or Darkside.

In the original expanded universe, after Samuel L. Jackson's insistence in the movies, the purple lightsaber was for a weapons/lightsaber master. Also, the crystals were not originally "mood crystals", but crystals assigned to those who followed specific paths in the Jedi Order. The white crystals were originally made through alchemy as white crystals were not found naturally and were part of a new factional order splitting off of the New Jedi Order that Luke Skywalker had built up. The original Expanded Universe is far better than the disney garbage that is out there. Though, from what I understand, The Mandalorian is a great show and is on my to watch list.

They wouldn't 'pick' colours. They would have to be in tune with the force enough that they could locate THEIR Kyber crystal. It was about forming a link with a pre-existing crystal, an embodiment of the force that resonated with them. This would lead padawans on journeys to find a naturally formed crystal. Additionally, red crystals were all synthetic.

Not sure if this would technically be canon anymore since it’s only mentioned in legends, but part of the (in universe) reason was that Jedi and Sith usually had an invisible “force shield” around them that protected them to an extent from other force users. Without it, their opponents would be able to do things like shove them around, take their lightsaber or even just turn it off in their hands. To do anything to them you’d need some way to either get around the shield or break through it, so unless there was a big enough power difference to just break through (such as when Yoda took Ventress’ lightsabers in tcw) it’s usually better to just attack with the lightsaber in the hopes of breaking their focus since it wasn’t something automatic and actually something that they needed to consciously make and maintain throughout the fight

My personal theory for the orange saber meaning is that it's an inverse of the meaning of the blue saber (since orange and blue are opposites). Blue wielders focus on going and destroying evil and protecting others, but orange would mean someone protecting themselves and destroying evil from within. It could also combine with the theory that Orange represents trauma and that it's a mirror of yellow. Except instead of improving themselves with skills, they improve themselves mentally and spiritually.

The orange light saber could mean the same as Mace windus but different, blue+red=purple so that is the type of jedi who focuses on lightsaber combat but isn't afraid to tap into the dark side if needed. Yellow+red=orange so maybe it's a jedi sentinel who isn't afraid to tap into the dark side if needed.

I love how lightsaber colours have snowballed into this big extension of character, force attunement and general personality. They were all originally white until it was hard to tell who's saber was who's whilst the iconic Death Star lights were shining in the Obi Wan v Vader fight in 1977, so blue and red came about. Then green became a thing because of the Sail Barge fight and Luke's blue lightsaber didn't show up well against the sky so green was made. Then purple because nobody says no to Samuel L Jackson. And now the colours have advanced symbolism for what kind of Jedi a character is. So cool.

There were also Jedi in the books who had the switches on the inside so if you weren't a force user you could never turn it on. Then others took a queue from modern camera lenses and had the ability to adjust the saber's focus on the fly to make it slightly longer or shorter mid combat. It was very much more of a technical device than the kind of mood ring the cartoons made canon.

This doesn't entirely make them cannon of course but it's where they got the idea for using them in "Fallen Order." My main character in SWTOR uses a Cyan bladed Lightsaber in her Consular/Sage Lightsaber. And my Jedi Knight/Guardian can craft the other colors after learning the "recipe" for them.

In the old books, there was a Jedi during the New Republic era named Corran Horn who built a lightsaber with a silver blade-- it had something to do with an odd crystal and the fact that he used two focusing crystals to make the blade's length adjustable. (See "I, Jedi" by Michael Stackpole)

Legends continuity. Different rules and lore for how it all works.

Personality I have always viewed orange to be a guardian of the Force in general. The user seeks out a balance with both the light and the dark side. One must exist with the other. Too much darkness or too much light will both leave you blind. An example of this would be the years upon years of Jedi not having a dark side to combat, thus they strayed too far from their roles from serving the living Force to serving the Republic and didn't see the Sith rise back to power under their noses.

Also, I don't know if this is canon either, but Seeker type lightsabers were pink, so that could tie in with the magenta ones. They also would allow their users to sense nearby life forms. Which would be nice to see back in canon if it isn't already.

I always thought that Cyan colored blades meant that the Jedi in question were more than willing to use both the force or their saber to resolve a situation. Because Jedi Consulars used green sabers and relied more on the force, and Jedi Guardians preferred saber combat to the force used a blue saber. So logically the Jedi who had no preference and used the two equally would have a Cyan colored blade as it represented both schools of thought.

@TxmDrmr The difference between the sentinel and the Jedi I described is that the sentinels also did community outreach, and their lightsabers were not handed down. Sentinels had their lightsabers handed down to them from the previous sentinel.

In the KOTOR games, there's also a cool Viridian colored crystal available as well. Probably just a game cosmetic type thing, but I would like to think it was to green what sky blue was to regular blue, in that you needed to harvest the crystal with intense focus on the cosmic force.

Orange could be the equivalent of purple where instead of being a mix of blue and red, orange is a mix of yellow and red. Purple could be for guardians who use the dark side for good while orange is for sentinels who use the dark side for good. If this is the case, I'd imagine brown or bronze being the mix of green and red would serve the same purpose but for consulors.

Mace Windu tapping into the dark side isn't canon. It also wouldn't change the color of his lightsaber.

I got my first saber from saberforge a month ago and I go with an Amber/ Orange blade. To me, it means "My will is Fire". It turns away from the "we are peacekeepers" Jedi mentality , and the purely violent mentality of the siths. It accepts that the lightsaber is a weapon bound to violence and that with its great power, you gotta accept all of its responsabilities.

I thought you were going to miss some of the colors from the jedi fallen order game but it looks like you got them all, great job!!

Plo Koon had an orange one from the Jedi Knight video game on cpu. Cyan and Silver were also used in Knights of the Old Republic II.

When I played Jedi: Fallen Order, I totally went for orange just to truly make Cal feel unique with his lightsaber.

I had an indigo blade in fallen order. I thought of it as being More attuned to force usage, but not being afraid to use Dark Sided force abilities for good, instead of Saber combat.

Thanks for the information very interesting

Windu and Ahsoka are such awesome characters. Windu just because he’s such a badass in the animated stuff and for 1v1ing Palp. Ahsoka because she’s gone through so much, and has only become wiser and stronger.

Orange sabers are stunning to me. I fell in love with it after playing fallen order and I literally replay it so I can see the saber color 😩

About the Cyan lightsaber, there was one lightsaber wielder from the comics who could potentially be part of the canon known as Exar Kun, who had a Cyan kyber crystal. It might be the inspiration for the Cyan blade color in Fallen Order.

In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed you can unlock a black lightsaber that looks very similar to the darksaber (Black center with a white glow) but in the traditional shape of a lightsaber blade. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, though I doubt there are any examples of it in canon.

This makes me feel better. I thought I was going colourblind when watching Clone Wars and Ahsoka. I even asked a friend to confirm if her blades were white or faint yellow. And the cloudy blue.

In the old canon, I thought sentinels were those who focused more on other pursuits rather than force use and saber use. Like learning hacking, how to be a mechanic, etc. Also believe the dark saber is a lightsaber type called a Broadsaber, however due to it's flat blade, it was deemed bad for every day use and not good for blaster bolt deflection, so much like the crossguards, it's not often used due to the lack of utility.

I always liked the cyan colored one in Jedi Fallen Order because it reminded me of Obi Wans/ Luke's lightsaber colors from A New Hope

@FShani

I'm fairly certain that's the real reason cyan crystals were reintroduced into canon. A lot of original star wars fans didn't like the newer blue color crystals and wanted the original blue, so games put cyan crystals in to make everyone happy.

I always love the green lightsaber color, there was one jedi who wielded the cyan lightsaber and it was Meetra Surik in KOTOR (i think, idk)

I think ive heard that purple, orange, cyan, silver, and white sabers werre most often used by dark or grey jedi to sympathize the level of balance that each user had with different aspects of both sides of the force. Dark jedi mostly using purple or orange to symbolize a more aggressive connection to the living force balance whereas the grey jedi are more in touch with the cosmic force aspects of both sides and so using cyan, silver, and white.

Very glad it was helpful! I love this side of the lore

I can’t remember where I read it but orange represented a Jedi pacifist who would use negotiation and the force and avoided conflict at all cost. The sabre was for personal defence only. It’s a little contradictory but I do like the explanation

Atris in KOTOR 2 also used what looks to be a cyan blade, and Siri Tachi also used a purple blade (Jedi apprentice novels), though thats now Legends.. and now with Ashoka being released we know that Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati also use orange sabres, giving more weight to the idea that the orange blade is perhaps a failed bleedingf a crystal. There are also black and white blade pickups in TFU, (my personal faves to play with), though again Legends... :)

Magenta was a color crystal in SWTOR as far back as 2011/12 - it was part of a secret questline that involved having to do some busywork, and then one of the world bosses (I think it was on Belsavis). Trust me, I would know, I was the first person on my server to get it :)

I personally still enjoy the idea of Jedi master Yadal still having an orange light Saber. And the theory for how it came to be was that she was forced to have to live off of nature on a deathless planner will still being a padowan. So orange is The colour of a naturalist Jedi who is in tune with natures chaotic order for survival.

This reminds me of Knights of the Old Republic 2 so much, spent so much time figuring out what kind of saber I want for diferent playthroughs.. might have to play that again!

I'm currently working on a fan fiction which my titular character carries an orange blade. I appreciate the video to make sure it stays within the canon symbolism

If anybody played Star wars Galaxies then you might remember the Kyber Crystals. Who else would have loved to see them as part of canon? For people that don't know, different crystals had very different effects, it wasn't determined by colour. My personal favourite was known as 'The Carrot Stick'. The crystal was found on Mustafar and was larva based. Guess what that did to people.

Which color

Avatar - TLAB theme song playing in the background made it even better

Came here just because they gave Fallen Order with the PS Plus and I had to known what colour was fitting. They gave the pre-order colors too so, quite happy I'm able to play canon.

My take on the pink/magenta lightsaber, is that Jedi wielders that has a pink/magenta color prefer to talk things out than to fight and it could also be applied with the force as well and since it's a mix of red and white there those who hold in the dark side and once they can't control it they snap

Orange is always my favorite lightsaber color. And in Legends one of my favorite characters, Plo Koon, was wielding which makes it more special for me.

Love the last bender music 😅💨

Is that…the Requiem for a Dream track in the background? (I know many view that track as epic, which w/its many variations it is-but to me after watching the film it came from-Requiem for a Dream-that song track will always be haunting)

I think those last ones would go like this: Indigo- I’m almost a purple, but Im kinda scared of the dark side so I only use it in “emergencies”. Magenta- I’m in the dark side, but I use a tiny bit of the light side so I’m right between red and purple. Cyan- I’m right in transition to become a Jedi counselor. I’m actually surprised they missed pink. That should be for a semi-purified red saber.

My lightsaber was always dark blue when I played Jedi as a kid. I had no idea they had meanings, it was just my favourite colour.

Actually they haven't such meanings before Disney. In old canon there was more logical explanation: jedis used natural crystals from Ilum that were usually blue or green. Other colors happened when jedi used crystal from a different source. I.e. Windu had a real quest to get his own. Siths at the same time used artificial crystals and for them creator could choose color, but they've already had tradition to make them red. BTW Luke's green crystal was artificial as well, but he didn't select color as had no expirience.

I picked the indigo light saber in Jedi fallen order because I figured it’s the same color as the meditation things and as such must be the most force related one and after certain things have happened I thought cal was ready for this kind of blade

I have a theory of the orange saber color. I like to think of it as something that is rebuilt from something broken. Earlier in fallen order, Cal said his connection to the force was not as strong as it used to be, as if his connection broke, or fractured. Now during the game, he obviously gets stronger, realizing his errors and comes to an acceptance of what has happened, therefore restoring his connection. Although it's just a theory....... *A GAME THEORRRRRRY!*

6:42 When I suddenly noticed the Avatar music in the background. It sounds like the moment when Korra got her bending back :D Edit: **Listening more to it** Oh cool! I used the same version of it in my Sonic Forces: Avatar State of Momo the Chinchilla video :D

Cals Kyber crystal being orange could also be a nod to his "dark jedi" path. We see a lot of his relationship with the dark side in both games, and we're now seeing similar outcomes in shows like Ashoka with the dark jedi Balen Skohl and Sin Hati. I like to see orange sabers as being held by those willing to touch the dark side in the aid of others. Stealing to fead the poor, vigilante justice, eye for an eye. A more dark sided approach to the Sentinelels values.

I honestly think that in fallen order yellow would've been the perfect colour for cal to have by default when you rebuild your broken lightsaber, mainly because by that point you've master a lot of force abilities, so it would bring a cool detail as you've unlocked different skills using the force and attacks that use the force (and no I don't mean the force meter), plus like he said in the video a yellow or orange lightsaber would also suit cal a lot
