Haha, I bet I sound like a total dork, making a thread about Light Sabers. Anyways I'm watching the Star-Wars marathon, and I'm seeing all kinds of lightsabers, Green, Blue, Purple, Red. And I wanted to clarify what the colors meant. Like Red is bad, right? And everything else is good? And why is there only one guy with a purple one? Please elaborate, because I'm watching this and I want to make sure that I at least understand the Light Saber concept.

This has a list of all colors.
This, a general overview of lightsabers.

The three general colors of a Jedi's lightsaber: blue, yellow, and green, were primarily used to identify a Jedi's class, Guardian, Sentinel, and Consular respectively.

Guardian favoured agressive solutions to problems, and a mastery of lightsaber combat.
Consular diplomacy and mastery of the force.
Sentinel a blend of the two.

There are quite a few other classes, but you can look those up on the wiki that I provided, I'm not going to spend all of the time here describing them.

Darn pHacon beat me to it.

I believe the yellow, Sentinels, are the ancient Jedi who found the Saber Crystals, way before the events of the first episode. The red lightsabers were also used at the time for the Sith lords.

Can this be a general light saber discussion thread?
In the movies, I've never seen a yellow lightsaber.

In the movies, I've never seen a yellow lightsaber.

Like I said, yellow lightsabers were used way before the events of the movies. They're used in the video games I think, and maybe the books, but you can't see what color the sabers are in the books so idk.

I've read comic books where I haven't seen a single blue lightsaber, but tons of yellows.

Durindfire crystals ftw!

Anyway, yes the certain types of Jedi were assigned certain crystals for their lightsaber. They did not mhave to use that color however. To my knowledge, the natural crystals were blue, yellow and green.

That link was way to long for me to get all the way through but from your explanation I'd say I would favor the yellow saber.

I don't see why not, I would enjoy talking about Light Sabers with my favorite nerds haha.

I don't know if that was aimed at me or you...

A lightsaber's blade is supposedly a plasma shunt in a containment field, contributing to the discussion.

Hmm..

Well, before this thread I didn't have any idea what the colors meant really.

Now I do. Thank you.

Care to elaborate for the laymen and such?

Man, I thought the lightsaber colours were just there for decoration but now I know what they are.
