I had a theory that it was dark matter, that would kinda explain why it was oddly heavy. 🤔

My personal headcanon for black lightsabers is that, given the only one we see is of Mandalorian design and considering the utmost importance of clan, family, and honor above all else to the Mandalorian people, black is very much representative of a zealous will to defend with all of one's heart those who he cares for. More broadly, it is emblematic of a strong attachment and unbreakable bond, held for selfless, sacrificial reasons, that is antithetical to the common practices of both the Jedi and the Sith, hence why it is seen nowhere else. The Sith sought attachment only when it convenienced themselves, and the Jedi, especially nearing their fall, often avoided it not because it was bad, but because they feared what might happen when they lose that which they devote such feelings towards. Perhaps not the best way I could word it, but it's what I like to go with.

I guess will just have to wait until the high republic era gives us that black lightsaber we see in some of the concept art. Really curious to see how that came about

Also in the Legends Universe the notable Jedi Knights known for using Red Lightsabers included Luke Skywalker's first pupil/wife Mara Jade Skywalker, Luke's sister Leia Organa Solo, and Kyle Katarn's student Jaden Korr with Jaden using the Red Lightsaber to symbolize his/her adherence to the first two lessons taught by Kyle those lessons being "No power is strictly good or evil what determines a power being good or evil is how you use the power." and "It's okay to feel anger but it's not okay to give into it."

One other color you forgot to mention, although I don't blame you since it's very close to Orange: Amber. Amber is the color of the Solari crystal, a one-of-a-kind crystal that was inherently tied to the light side of the force and resulted in a blade that would actually strengthen or weaken respective to the user's force alignment. Should a Jedi using this crystal fall to the Dark Side completely, the crystal would fail to produce a blade entirely.

@@aedaniammx7559 yeah when it comes to Mace Windu's crystal its just rare and was given to him as a padiwan for helping a species made out of stone. The crystal itself is thought to contain both light and dark side energies which is why Jedis or sith typically don't use them. Mace is the exception though since he uses his own version of form 7 (mostly used by sith), but made it his own and called it Vapod. Mace was the only Jedi of that time able to handle the temptations of the dark side that came with it as seen in a comic when Mace was creating Vapod he had tried to teach a friend of his whom turned to the dark side and Mace had to kill him. The reason being why Yoda allowed Mace to embrace vapod is because Mace was the secret weapon against the Sith and for a peroid of time believed he might have been the choosen one until Anikan came around. Vapod wasn't that effective against Jedi, but It didn't matter because Mace was insanely talented with a lightsaber and held his own against the likes of Obi-wan, Yoda, and Count Dooku without it. However when against a Sith it would add that siths force strength on top of Mace's. He also has a rare force ability called Shatter Point which allows Mace to use the force to see weakpoints that can be exploited. We don't see it in the movies, but this is why the legendary bounty hunter Jango Fett was taken out so easily and also why Mace Windu was able to beat Palpatine where Yoda couldn't. This also explains why Anikan was able to catch Mace off guard to uhh...disarm him and solidify his role as the choosen one to bring Balance to the force. One key thing that goes under peoples radars is if Mace Windu was capable of beating Palpatine then whats the point of the choosen one? Its exactly what the description says and that is "to bring balance to the force" which at the beginning of Episode 1 the Jedi clearly are way more in control and are even involved with politics and war. We are just experiencing the story from the Jedi's perspective and they believe that balance means the eradication of the sith, but yet the Jedi themselves are ok with taking children from their homes at a young age from their parents without consent and rejecting traditional ideas of love and instead have them to embrace compassion for others...the Jedi's had become a cult.

I remember playing. Jedi Academy and at heart I had always had a fondness for Green so my light side play through was a counselor (green) in my dark side play through I did Yellow. Something about that made sense to me. A yellow blade dark side wielder then I saw the old Republic trailer I was happy to see it come into fruition in canon. The idea that a Jedi would balance guardian and Counselor just sounded like they wanted more power thus giving them a room to echo the dark side. This is why the council doesn’t have them them at the temple. (Black bag operation Jedi) they do the bad stuff they don’t want to know about. Espionage and murder. I know it’s not accurate to lore this was just my thoughts at that time.

yellow and orange for me

When I started watching Vader's fortress, I knew almost nothing about legends and canon. Much to learn I still have.

Hey, I have to say that while this is a very reasonable and likely meaning for their colors, I feel like a sabers color can be displayed from a personality; blue would stand for well-intentioned and protective, while red would stand for power-seeking/ill-intentive and hatred. Green would stand for wisdom and knowledge, while yellow would stand for balance and peace. Purple would stand for powerful and strong willed, while orange would stand for less force sensitive and weaker willed. White would stand for understanding and control, while the black/dark Saber would stand for a chaotic and unnatural side that is offset by the intentions of the wielder as only those with one true emotion could completely control it. Also, I feel like the reason this doesn't change the color of the blade is because the color stays as a certain color when they gain the crystal but will possibly change depending on how the user feels when they choose their next kyber crystal, but the shade of the blade may change depending on the emotions they feel and a blade may get lighter if a person is keeping on the path of their saber but may get darker as a person is feeling something different. Tell me how you feel about this and if you think they have another reason by personality.

The temple guards are sentinels on rotation. Whilst they did prefer to be out being protectors of all people, the Temple guards was a great honour. As a lot of the sentinels died off about 200 years before the fall of the Jedi we don’t see much of them anymore, so very little rotation occurred at the time.

I like that you have both the former and current canon. But you left out the Cyan, Silver, Viridian, & Bronze. Also Sith Conquer, later King of Onderon Freedon Nadd had a orange lightsaber.

You should do a video on how a lightsaber works. My theory is that as the emission and absorption parts of the blade meet and collide with one another. This collision would end up creating the famous lightsaber glow. Furthermore, the alignment of each person within the force would augment the color of the person’s blade, due to the collision bringing out the full nature of the Kyler crystal. This, I think, would explain some of the more mysterious parts about lightsabers such as the dark saber. In stead of having its emitter within the circle of its absorber, it would have them side by side. This would cause them to be like two blades constantly rubbing up against each other, which would give it its signature appearance. This would explain the mechanics of one of the most feared weapons within the Star Wars universe.

My theory for the dark saber is it's a partly man made crystal created by Tarre Vizsla or perhaps the armorer of his time period, it probably was a natural kyber crystal or a purified crystal with white coloration and then forged with a beskar coat.

Wait, that’s a color for a saber?

Poor Head cannon, probably: It seems like the cannon and Legends method of making red lightsabers don't have to be mutually exclusive as the only way of obtaining a red crystal. A synthetic crystal would probably only be atomically akin to natural, pure kyber crystals but without any force energy infused into them, think a synthetic diamond or quartz. When made in a lab, synthetic gems/crystals have fewer inclusions (flaws or pieces of the original material that didn't crystalize) and are closer to pure and so, have to be given inclusions or radiation exposure that that crystaline structure would have obtained in nature to alter it's color. Meaning a sith would have to "bleed" it anyway. Fun fact: Most notably the process with radiation is used for "pink" and "red" diamonds (UM... EXPENSIVE) and, to my knowledge, lab grown rose quartz. Possibly, a force user would end up working longer, harder or constantly on it compared to a naturally red crystal. This part of my theory comes from the fact that lab grown pink quartz and lab grown red diamonds lose their color and fade faster and greater compared to natural rose quartz and red diamonds which are usually ok for a LONG time (decades apposed to centuries) as long as they are kept out of direct sun...aka "the light". (Red and pink DIAMOND is exceptionally rare in nature too, rose quartz not so much, it's just rare to find any with gem quality clarity and they are usually TINY. Quartz won't turn red on it's own {that I'm aware of I'm, a newb in the gem/crystal nerdum}, but quartz IS the main component in many precious red gems like garnet.....) But with this theory: could a force user take a synthetic crystal and infuse it with light side/healing energy from the start and create a white blade to begin with also? (Idk WHAT the real world equivalent of THAT would be tho...it just sounds cool) Thus ends my nerdum cross over episode! Just cool head cannon stuff...

But synthetic crystals do have force energy imbued within them… The entire process of making on in legends is a forced based ritual that floods the synth crystal with force energy from the user. They use the force to create it.

Wasnt the orange color introduced in KOTOR in a special shop? There were 2 unique crystals.

Everyone: Gets blue, green and red Samuel: Hey Lucas could I get purple Lucas: Sure Everyone: *What?*

I've always wanted an indigo double-bladed lightsaber.

What about viridian blades? Or are those just lumped in with green?

I wish there were more legend or canon on Kyle Katarn as well. If anyone remembers Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2, he starts with green but ends up using Yun's Orange blade to battle Saris if you chose the light side path. Then in Mysteries of the Sith, he keeps the Orange blade up until you see Kyle again in Jedi Outcast, which happens to be a blue blade 🤔 either just a lapse in story, or if there's something I'm missing, I don't know. But Kyle being one of my favorite legend characters won't change

I also remember a interview were he said he asked george Lucas if he could have one(purple)

Possible Theory on the Pink Colouration: _Could be that it represents Rebellious or Selfish Traits. _*_Not necessarily Dark Side Traits,_*_ but more Mercenary like._

Rlly rethinking life by doing this

It's my personal headcannon, and certainly what I do when I play KOTOR 2, that Meetra Surik/The Jedi Exile's lightsaber color is white. Surik was exiled from the Jedi Order, and, assuming you don't go for a Dark playthrough, I think the white crystal suits the Exile best.

My headcanon for the yellow is that it's a synthetic crystal, similar to the red, only it doesn't necissarily have the same attunement to the dark side. It would make sense, then, why it would be used by the early Jedi, who might not know the locations of more natural crystals, and by the Sentinals who were more practical and skilled with technology. As for the Eternal Empire using them, I think that's probably because they either took some old Sentinal crystals or just synthesized them due to lack of access to natural ones.

Orange lightsabers were in Jedi Academy and SWTOR, both of which came out before Fallen Order

There's also silver, veridian and cyan color crystals in Kotor II.

Purple sabres existed in lore before SLJ asked for one.

I always thought green signified a connection to the living force Ezra communes with animals and is connected to Lothal Kanan is the guardian of Ezra so he's blue honestly you could argue it any way

I believe color no longer matters once you can't really obtain a lightsaber as easily as you could during the clone wars or before that, like how Luke's lightsaber colors didn't *really* have a meaning, and meaning was only given to it in retrospect because people like making things match. But I think it's really a matter of "use what you can find"

Can't go anywhere without Fallen Order spoilers, I'll come back after finishing the game lol

Honestly I bought a lightsaber a while ago and for the longest time I liked orange despite it not being a typical star wars colour so when I played fallen order and got to see orange it was awesome and I hope that its implied that orange is his cannon colour foing forward as its vary cool

I bought a lightsaber recently and purple and orange are my go-to colours. Back when I played Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, all my aliens used orange. Still do so when playing SW: The Old Republic.

What about the blades with colored auras and black cores?

Orange, yellow, symbolism of the light side and knowledge, and red, mixed used by the dark side.

There's also the Bronze blade of Freedon Nadd, the Cyan blade of Exar Kun and the Mantle of the Force crystal, the Viridian blade color from KOTOR 2, the Indigo color blade from Fallen Order... that's all I can think of, I'll edit if I find more.

People always want to associate the color of a lightsaber with the wielder's personality, and I get that. It's so evocative. But it feels like if that were the case, we would see characters go on arcs that change and their lightsaber color might change with them. And then that asks the question of "well how does the Force determine if someone's deserved a color change yet?". Then we get into fiddly DnD alignment arguments. I think it's best to associate colors of sabers with status and title, and if you act unbefitting of the title it could be taken away or simply stop working. Then once you either accept your status or move on to something else, then maybe you'd have to go out and get a new saber to reflect your new life. It should be an undertaking to get a new saber color and it shouldn't happen just because "lol I'm angry so it turns red".

I havent seen the latest Ashoka episodes with those two orange wielding dark siders excited to see that and flash backs with Hayden Anakin skyguy but my thoughts on the orange...

I would just find the exact frame of the video that shows the most of what you want and pause it, wait for the video interface (the time remaining bar) to go away then screen shot with the video set to full screen on your phone. If the bar still shows up, just crop it out. It just a tiny bit of screen that you’d cut off but you wouldn’t have that ugly UI there. I’ve tried to find the picture but just can’t seem to narrow it down. Even using reverse image search doesn’t yield much better results. Hope this helps!

yea the only interesting Legends fact I learned from this was that the rainbow crystals were alive. The fact that Canon took that and expanded on it and said that the crystals can be "bled" and "healed" through devotion to the force for different colors is a much better system than "pretty rock is rare"

In canon orange blades mean that they only use conflict as a last resort and it is the Mark of the Jedi negotiater

If I could choose, I'd go with a beautiful deep orange saber

Soooo, what saber is the most durable and stable?

There are many more colors from Legends sources. KotOR/2, for example have viridian, silver, violet, and cyan. They also had orange before Fallen Order.

My favorite Legends book, "I, Jedi" also has a silver lightsaber that is used.

wait isn't orange color "Fools kyber" a synthetic Chrystal that acts much like kyber Chrystal but is not as in tune with the force? I think I saw that in another video

I like to think that the Temple guard lightsabers weren't always yellow. They started out as white, purified crystals taken from sith and slowly yellowed over the thousands of years as they were handed down

Here is my views on lightsabers. All lights sabers start white in there purity. Then it splits into a triangle with a red point for aggression blue point of protection and yellow for mystics (Healers and scholars). The counselors bridge the studies of the blue protector and the yellow mystical coming up with green, the purple is a mix of the aggression of the red an the protection of the blue, The pink I think is someone willing to be aggressive but try's to do it all like white

The three primary colors, when referring to light, are red, blue, and GREEN, not yellow. Oddly, green for mystics fits well for Consulars.

I would agree to a point but rebels changed that for me. The spirits in the temple used yellow but I am not sure that was even swordmanship or a force projection. I think the main Jedi order could only get so far to he temple guardians making there blades green from the blue. I think the counselors were reaching more to the mystic powers but falling short.

I want to see a plaid Light saber!

Blue lightsabers belonged to guardians, true. However, the distinction is that they were skilled with both lightsaber and force. Consulars generally used the force more and had green lightsabers, and sentinels were the lightsaber aficionados using yellow.

I would point out the two special crystals one can get in KOTOR. The Mantle of the Force crystal gave your blade an interesting color of blue (if I remember correctly) but it's the other crystal that gave your saber an orange color. So the orange IS in the expanded universe (or is KOTOR canon?). These crystals can be found at the Yavin IV station.

@@Sabrasmkk When Disney bought Star Wars they decided everything prior to the acquisition other than the primary films and The Clone Wars would no longer be canon and would now be known as Legends. They decided some of the people and events told in Legends would be true, but their stories would be reforged later as part of the new canon. Also, some of the material that they had kept as canon after the acquisition had referenced Legends material. Those references therefore had to be canon, but most of the details were lost. Revan was one of those characters. When Disney acquired Star Wars they wiped all of the stories that focused on him from canon but he was referenced in a mural on a wall in a scene of The Clone Wars. This meant that the character had to be canon, although all the stories relating to him had been wiped. This was also true with most of the original Clone Wars series. Since The Clone Wars (2008) was a direct sequel to Clone Wars (2003) a large amount of the events in Clone Wars (2003) had to be true despite not being in any canon material; The Clone Wars (2008) made references to events in Clone Wars (2003) that were no longer canon in any regard other than those references.
