Not too long ago, I learned that in Star Wars lore, Anakin was going to have a purple-colored lightsaber. This makes sense to me because those who use purple-colored lightsabers walk the light side but have a strong attraction to the dark side. And unfortunately, since Anakin was essentially the order's poster child, he wasn't allowed to switch to one.

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

Originally the orange lady from TPM had a red lightsaber but they made her change it, despite having a highly rare crystal, after the Sith returned. I wish the Jedi weren't so opposed to colors...

[@shawnpage6333]

You should do a video of the importance of the different lightsaber hilts.

[@davidjacobs7465]

Apart from the dark saber which is still shrouded in mystery, the most interesting colour to me is white. 1 theory is (I think Ashoka that said it) that it was due to healing a bleeded crystal. But otherwise it seems so neutral. It may also come more frequently to wookies as a wookie is seen having a white saber during practice/training in the fight between Anakin and Baris Offee in the clone wars. Tyvokka seemingly didn't have a white saber but had a yellow one naturally (aka not passed down as with the temple guards) a bit before the clone wars when the jedi were pretty dogmatic already.

[@ZenRyoku]

here's a cool theory you just inspired in me.... ....much like the white sabers Ahsoka uses were purified red light sabers.... ...well what if the dark saber is a white purified lightsaber crystal warped back into a type of red saber, but actually turned black instead of going back to being red....????? hmmm🤔🤔🤔

[@MeepTooGee]

I like that thought right there man and first I’ve heard for a black saber theory, Noice .

[@ZenRyoku]

@@MeepTooGee truth be told...before that.. i thought maybe Tar Vizla crystalized beskar in some way to make the crystal emit the iconic black blade...but until they create a official explanation... it's all conjecture....

[@matthewchristian9591]

I choose to believe silver is from healing and we havent seen a true white blade yet

[@Blazeyblazeyblaze]

That wookie had a green lighstaber, you may be referring to tera sinube he has a very light blue lighstaber which resembles white but isn't white.

[@dianesinger9729]

I like the High Republic views and Luke's I feel the clone wars Era stifled them

[@mandalortheslayer]

Is no one going to mention the black lightsaber in that high republic picture?

[@theforcedragon3781]

If I was in Star Wars my light Saber would be purple and i would be in legends Luke’s Jedi Order God bless you all ❤️🙏

[@julioperez9824]

What about cyan/aqua? Those are some of the best colors. You get them in the clone wars micro series and the galaxy of adventures.

[@Gor85]

I completely agree with this. Force thought Jedi their way,showed the the way,opened their minds. As aresult they were whole person. They had all emotions. And had control. Luke and his children are perfect example. High Republic is perfect era. I would love to learn and see more about the Jedi at that time. And the High Republic. May the Force be with you too :)

[@The_Lucent_Archangel]

Corran Horn also wielded a silver blade, which was common from his Halcyon lineage. I really miss pre-Disney.

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

KoToR will always have those bronze, silver, and emerald lightsabers bb don't cry 🙃

[@watchmesquatch]

I like the orange sabers. 😌

[@DBSG1976]

Light Blue Sabres are beautiful!

[@JamesRDavenport]

That's my favorite as well, and the one I have. It has an Ice Blue blade.

[@ytafan4068]

I would like to see a novel or something come out where we get to see the event that triggered the change in the Jedi Order from how it was in the High Republic Era to the Prequel Era. I know in Legends, after the Battle of Ruusan, the Jedi Order instituted reforms in response to the events of the that war. Since many Jedi fell to the dark side and joined the Brotherhood, the surviving Jedi Masters decided on a more strict and rigid approach to training to prevent this from happening again. And as Yoda said in the ROTS novel, he was trained by those who fought in this last war. His teachers were implementers of the change, and he wouldn't allow things to change in his time. It was only towards the end of ROTS that he realized and fully accepted that times had changed, and what worked back when he was a Padawan would no longer work in the here and now because times had changed. The galaxy had changed, and people and the Sith had changed with the times. Now we have the High Republic novels and comics out, and I don't see any of the strictness and rigidity that we've seen in the Jedi Order of the Prequels. We haven't seen Yoda seemingly "leading the charge" to impose these restrictions. You'd think he would have because I don't see these restrictions being accepted as the norm in Legends after a few years or a generation. It probably took a century or two before it became the norm in Legends. So how did the Jedi Order become so restrictive and dogmatic by the Prequels? I'm certain the sudden confrontation with the Nihil played a factor. Was it the final nail in the coffin, so as to speak? Or did something else happen afterwards? We need a novel explaining how and why this transition occurred.

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

I'm pretty sure it's only around 100 years or so before TPM that the Jedi really started to get dogmatic and ridiculous which led to their downfall. Pre modern era and post in Luke's era are sooooo much better. The closer to the code of the Jen'Dai the better. Also Yoda wasn't Grandmaster until TCW, before that Mace Windu was actually Grandmaster but once the Sith returned Mace stepped down and let Yoda take back over.

[@spartanspyke]

I'd personally love to se something done on corran horns dual phase lightsaber. I always thought it was cool being able to extend or shrink the blade.

[@okaminokuro]

the cycle Treya tried so hard and came SOOOO close to breaking repeats yet again.

[@darthrenegade7915]

I'd have to be either in the High Republic or Luke's Jedi Order as a sentinel. It's crazy how I used to idolize the Clone Wars era and then I realized how wrong they were.

[@henry-bl3wr]

Well Darth the clone wars era Jedi were a bunch fanatical zealots so Anakin was from a certain point a view the Jedi were evil

[@jasonjordan8376]

During the Knights of Old Republic game-era, we had a ton of different colors based on the crystal. You could even use 2 white lightsabers.

[@holeshotshane5692]

I was thinking that it would be cool to see more lightsaber crystals that have been affected or changed in some way like the ones from the Force Unleashed games or like Kylo Ren's fractured crystal and how those physical changes augment the blade.

[@theforcedragon3781]

Also could you make a video about the very beginning of the Star Wars universe like with the supreme creator and father of shadows? Ps also I have a theory that Palpatine could be a mortal incarnation of the father of shadows

[@Bluefoot65]

Blue and yellow = green on the light side on the dark side there is red purple was there but not tolerated by any. The post skywalker era it is implied that the crystal finds the force sensitive and through the force itself teaches what the person needs to know to find their way to the best place in the force for them. That is implied not fact How does the force move forward after Skywalker?

[@ZenRyoku]

I always thought it would be awesome to have a prismatic lightsaber where the color flash repeatedly or maybe a thing where the user can hit a switch to temporarily change the color from one to another...that would be really cool.

[@deathmagnetic12085]

I'd want a double bladed saber. 1 side black and the other being red.

[@nomsi4263]

Did they ever explain how to get specific colors in the High Republic? Such as Cyan blue, Indigo, or Tortoise.

[@johnmcginnis3208]

I love this video. I would like to see a video about Jedi and Sith who used multiple crystals in their lightsabers.

[@darknova7863]

More silver saber content!

[@lilgrnmn]

Yes, more canon material please. This channel always does a good job with canon and legends. Very cool.

[@shamusatha4700]

The Jedi of the clone wars served the force because they had to; they Jedi of the high republic served the force because they wanted to of their own volition. I think the force itself was fed up with the clone wars era Jedi.

No they existed before Jackson,he just made them more famous.

[@ZenRyoku]

that is 100% correct. he literally asked Lucas to make his saber color purple. that is confirmed... ...all the other purple sabers in legends and other lore have no official reason. there was a story before Disney took over Star Wars...where Mace Windu saved this village from something or other....and as a reward, they gave him a purple crystal....but that is now retconned.

[@mex6623]

@@ZenRyoku Jackson did indeed make it very famous but it existed in star wars before mace windu.
