How does a Lightsaber work? (Star Wars)

[@JaredOwen]

Hey Everyone - thank you for so many views and for all the feedback! Yes, I made a few mistakes in this animation: -The lightsaber color should blue not green (I noticed this 24 hours after I had uploaded it but it was too late!) -This is really Anakin's Lightsaber not Luke's -You can get a Lightsaber on the black market - this was mentioned in the Clone Wars -Lightsabers are mostly used by Jedi (and Sith) but there are a few exceptions

[@dylantruong897]

Great video! Love the intro. Felt like watching a how it's made episode...

Two months later and I'm back here without trying. "Today on How it's Made, we'll be taking a look at an elegant weapon from a more civilized age. Put on your high grade Dura-steel gauntlets and arc-welder mask as we discover what goes into creating ... A Lightsaber - the iconic weapon of a Jedi Knight... or Sith Lord. Ready? Let's *do it* !"

[@kolbecheese1164]

Jared Owen also when building a light saber it does not takes weeks but only minutes as the younglings use the force to construct it whence they have all the parts Also anyone can use a light saber but only jedi and sith can construct them The color of the light saber depends on which side of the force is being used and a kyber crystal that has been changed back from the dark then creates a more powerful white light saber

[@halloweenjack4482]

The Star Wars Dictionary actually explains it as energy being channeled to a primary crystal and then through a series of focussing crystals. The reason that only Jedi and Sith can make them is that building a lightsaber is one of the most difficult (and mandatory) tasks for Jedi and Sith initiates to accomplish as the focussing crystals must be perfectly aligned (which tests true Force sensitivity). Even the slightest misalignment of the focussing crystals will cause the weapon to detonate upon activation. This is why Vadar was so impressed with Luke in ROTJ when he saw his lightsaber ("I see you have constructed a new lightsaber...your skills are now complete...indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has foreseen") - he knew that Luke was indeed ready and capable of defeating the Emperor. Despite what most new Star Wars fans think (thanks To Disney I believe) the color of the lightsaber blade was determined by the color of the crystals used. Traditionally the Jedi used blue and green and the Sith used red. The Dictionary is so old now but it covers the equipment in the original trilogy nicely and it was before Disney screwed everything up. Cool video though and nice animation.

[@computerjantje]

Thank you very much for this peace from the only true bible. I have not read it but your comment gave me the inspiration to do now.

[@MyJeffDunham]

I was of understanding, that the red color comes from the artificially contracted crystals the Sith used?

[@johnpeiredaquavoii2213]

How did disney screw it all up?

[@Aztrani]

Well kyber Crystal are colour less until it bonds with a force user and the reason that with users have red crystals is because they make the crystal “bleed”. Usually when a Jedi and Crystal bond they act as one, however the sith make it red and instead forcing the Crystal to obey them against their will

[@tombarnes6923]

Omar Tabbara context?

[@bzavala123]

You know I always thought of it this way as well. I think of the lightsaber as a small version of the same technology they use in Star Wars for ray/battlefield shields. If you think about it, this makes perfect sense. We see when they use large battlefield shield generators in Star wars how the plasma shield raises in a thin line of plasma from a shield generator and then creates a dome over the protected area. If you took this same technology and used it on a lightsaber but had the energy turned up so the stream of plasma shot up higher it would raise the celling of the half dome shield (while keeping the same small diameter) it would stretch the shield into a tall rod with a point when the shield bends over the thin plasma line being shot up to produce it. This idea is confirmed by the fact that there is nob on light sabers to increase and decrease the total length of the blade. Also in Star Wars Clone wars they discuss the shield technology and talk about how it can be tuned so slow objects can pass through it or turned all the way up to produce a ray shield that not even slow objects can pass through, i.e. a lightsaber blade. I really thought of this after seeing an episode of Clone Wars where someone was going to be executed using a ray shield like guillotine that would chop off the person's head.

[@williamlewis4318]

[@timewarrior447]

John Sedivec some diagrams of the light saber show a second crystal as a common focusing crystal that helps in stabilizing the blade when ignited. However newer canon retconed the need for a focus crystal.

John Sedivec in some of the games there are two crystals. Probably where that idea came in. However I think in Star Wars Galaxies...which was a pc game from Lucas arts the crystals were said to be that way in the saber you built in there as well.

Can we take a moment to realize this perfect intro

[@JaredOwen]

I'm happy the intro is appreciated, thank you!

[@SuperZiggyCraft]

Shouldn't the Sith use Darksabers instead of Lightsaber?

[@JaredOwen]

That would definitely make sense :)

[@sk8ernutdw]

Siths lightsabers turn red because the crystal bled red... Darksabers are completely different.. that's ANOTHER story..

[@seb0rn739]

There is only one darksaber

[@seb0rn739]

Kevin Lee In the new canon red crystals are not synthetic but natural crystals that were infused and corrupted by the the dark side (=bleeding) and changed their colour into crimson red. Ahsoka managed to reverse this process, freeing a red crystal from the dark side making it turn white. So this explains how red and white crystals are created and I really like this change.

[@battledroid224]

The darksaber's on Dathomir as shown in Rebels

[@overbank56]

Seems very realistic! To bad it's not real. Perhaps the tech some day may be applied to something everyone can use.

[@warbeast3342]

Christofer Riche the general public does not need real working lightsabers!..

[@overbank56]

War Beast : perhaps! Still a very cool idea though!

[@BladeCrossEXE]

Lightsabers usually have 2 crystals? I thought that they usually only had 1, and 2 crystal installation was reserved for special cases like a double-blade, dual-phase, or changing color/power output (Force Unleashed novel, Galen combined a green crystal with fragments of a blue one).

[@Iknowhowbadthisnameis8828]

2:15 no, they only have one, escept if it is dual, then it has two

[@JonD00]

That's what I was thinking too. Only dual-phase lightsabers have 2 Kyber Crystals

[@emersaur2515]

No because if you look at Darth maul’s Saber, they say that it has 4 crystals so that means 1 saber has 2 crystals

[@emersaur2515]

It also says single bladed lightsabers have 2 crystals

[@JonD00]

Emegamez Darth Maul has a unique lightsaber: both ends of the lightsaber can be used individually and even if the staff is broken in half. Darth Mauls lightsaber is also dual-phase because he uses one or both ends during combat and their are different lengths to the blade depending on how he’s using it

[@JonD00]

Emegamez most single bladed sabers have 1 crystal unless it’s dual-phase then it has 2. Double blades lightsabers can have 2 or 4 depending on if each saber head can be used individually or if it’s only double sided

[@advocrackgamer]

I got this on my recommended lmao

[@JackO_Lantern]

Declaw gamer me too

[@lothean2099]

So how does the blade stop? Why doesn't it become an endless laser like beam. That is what I always wondered about.

[@lurking_nate]

Can someone count the amount of times he says “energy”?

[@ToxicSocks24]

George Lucas would like to know your location.

[@JaredOwen]

🤣

[@harveykelley2571]

Jared: This is Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber. Anakin Skywalker: Am i a joke to you?

[@tirthvora5061]

The way he explained is like we have real light sabers in our real life

[@henryairconcepts2999]

My wife's one takes 4xAA batteries, vibrates & makes her scream.

[@Chickenworm9394]

That wasn't a light saber...

[@been6644]

That’s not Luke’s that’s originally Anakins saber but with a green kyber Crystal
