Picking the Right Lightsaber Color for Yourself

In the Star Wars world, there are many different kinds of lightsabers. They often show the traits of their users. This includes their fighting style and their connection to the Force. Sometimes, it also reflects their personal preferences.

Just like tattoos are meaningful to a person, every part of a lightsaber is important and not just random. This is very true for the color of the lightsaber, which is not usually chosen randomly. For example, a blue lightsaber "means" something quite different than a black lightsaber.

The kyber crystal inside a lightsaber determines its color, which is connected to the saber's story and significance. Certain colors of lightsabers represent a person's unique history, while others show dedication to a cause or tradition. This dedication is reflected in popular colors, while specific characters are linked to more unusual colors. Here's a brief summary of lightsaber colors to help you choose wisely, as this topic can be complex.

Blue – Blue lightsabers are connected to the Jedi and their mission of maintaining peace. Luke Skywalker took his father's lightsaber in A New Hope.

Since then, the Jedi have closely associated the color of the lightsaber with themselves. Other colors are possible, but the connection remains strong. The person wielding the blue lightsaber supports the Jedi philosophy, espousing the values of harmony, law, wisdom, and selflessness.

Red – Red lightsabers are connected to the Sith, the Jedi's enduring foes. The red lightsaber wielding is committed to the Sith Order's values, which are fundamentally the antithesis of those held by the Jedi: self-fulfillment, brutality, and the belief that "might makes right."

Green – Though less prevalent than regular blue, green lightsabers are also associated with the Jedi. Green lightsabers prefer peace and diplomacy over battle, but their wielders are more than willing to fight when the situation demands it. It has a close relationship with wisdom and experience. Among the most well-known users of the green lightsaber is Yoda.

Orange – Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, released in November 2019, officially introduces orange lightsabers as a new addition to the canon. Although not much is known about the orange lightsaber, the fact that Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis uses it should indicate the color's philosophical connotations.

Yellow – Yellow lightsabers are recognized as the Jedi Sentinel's chosen accouterment in the Expanded Universe. They blended the consulars' diplomatic skills with the Guardians' fighting capabilities.

Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress have been seen with the yellow lightsaber in the canonical canon. And after The Rise of Skywalker, what is Rey holding? It appears that her new lightsaber has a yellow blade.

Purple–Jedi Master Mace Windu is renowned for favoring purple lightsabers. Anyone who carries a saber of this color pays homage to a ferocious warrior. This particular lightsaber was made as Wun's final one after he gained recognition as one of the most revered members of the Jedi Council.

White – After being found not guilty of sedition, Ahsoka Tano left the Jedi Order and forged a pair of white lightsabers. Tano lost a great deal of trust in the Jedi hierarchy even though it was made abundantly evident that she was innocent and even extended an invitation to rejoin the Order.

She would not, however, turn to the dark side. Rather, Tano became a free agent sympathetic to Jedi principles but functioned outside the Order. Similar to Tano, the wielder of the white lightsaber is a lone wolf who belongs to the light side of the Force.

Black – When it comes to lightsaber colors, black is essentially only used by the notorious Darksaber. Tarre Vizsla, a Mandalorian, made a powerful and scary saber that became the symbol of House Vizsla. It was owned by various people over the years, including Moff Gideon and Darth Maul. It is stated that unless the present owner of the Darksaber is vanquished, no one can legitimately claim it.
