They would mainly use their force abilities to combat threats within the galaxy, usually through brute force. Users of a blue lightsaber would focus upon more Physical aspects of the force for example force push and force enhanced duelling.
However, in legends blue Lightsabers were used by the Jedi Guardians one of the three main schools of thought within the Jedi order. Within canon the specific meaning and differences between green and blue is yet to be fully explored although both were of course affiliated with the light side of the force. Next up we have blue, the most common lightsaber colour. After this profound realisation, the Rock monsters gifted Windu with the amethyst crystal which he used for the remainder of his life. It was in this moment that Windu realised that he could use his anger to cause great destruction or defeat evil. Distraught, he then used the force to bring them back to life. After a short battle with rock monsters, Windu killed one of them. He foresaw that he would create one of the most elegant sabers in the galaxy and the force compelled him to travel to the world of Hurrikan. Windu first acquired his saber through the use of the force shatterpoints ability which allowed him to see glimpses of the future.
Instead of symbolising the balance between light and dark, purple sabers were more similar to the pink and naturally occurring red crystals discussed earlier and were made through acquiring incredibly rare amethyst crystals. In legends, purple sabers were slightly different. However, Windu was able to channel some of his and his opponents dark side energy into his fighting style.ĭespite Windus dogmatic views concerning the Jedi and Anakin Skywalker, he was in a way the most balanced Jedi in the order, utilising both the dark and the light thus making his lightsaber purple. Form 7 was traditionally used by the sith and was heavily frowned upon by the Jedi order. Windu used a variation of form 7 known as vapad. Mace Windu was of course the most famous wielder of the purple lightsaber, signifying his more aggressive fighting style. However in universe, purple signified a closer alignment to the dark side than most Jedi. While it's not known exactly what the meaning of this saber is, I thought it was worth a mention regardless. If I were to guess the meaning of the pink crystal, I would say it was likely similar to the next saber colour on this list: purple.Īs we all know the real reason purple was created was so that Samuel L Jackson could stand out during the attack of the clones. While the Kinrath eggs usually produced a blue or green crystal, on rare occasions they would produce a yellow or pink saber. Just like in canon, these Kyber crystals would change colour depending upon the alignment of the force user. As far as we know, these could only be found within the eggs of the Kinrath, a species native to Dantooine. These were just as rare as red Kyber crystals but were even harder to acquire. Similar to the red lightsaber crystal was the pink lightsaber crystal seen in legends. Although there is little information on naturally occurring red Kyber crystals, they were attuned to the light side of the force. Adi Galia found an exceptionally rare light red Kyber Crystal and installed it into her lightsaber. However in legends there were some exceptions to this. In both canon and legends, red lightsabers represented the dark emotions of anger, hatred and greed typically used by the sith. This process involved the sith pouring all of their hatred and anger into the crystal, turning it crimson red. However in canon, red blades were produced through the bleeding of a Kyber crystal. In legends, red lightsabers utilised synthetic crystals which were made using the dark side of the force. Red Lightsabers, in both canon and legends, were made in a slightly different way to other lightsabers. Today we will be exploring the meanings of all the different lightsaber colours in depth using both canon and legends material.įirst of all we have my personal favourite lightsaber colour: red.
However in canon, the colouration is determined based upon the user's force abilities and skills rather than colour preference. In legends, a lightsaber would be coloured based upon the colour of the chosen Lightsaber crystal. The colour of the Lightsaber signified the wielders personality, affiliation and even their specific discipline within the Jedi order. The weapon of choice for both the Sith and the Jedi, the lightsaber held great significance to its user, it being connected to them through the force itself.
