Yellow lightsabers went to Jedi Sentinels, who sought a balance between the approaches of the other two Jedi classes. Green blades belonged to Jedi Consulars, who were the Jedi Order's mystics and sages. Those definitions largely came from their use in games like Star Wars: The Old Republic to correspond to specific character classes.ĭuring the Old Republic era, blue lightsabers belonged to Jedi Guardians, the heroic fighters of the Jedi Order. (Photo: BioWare) Lightsaber colors in Star Wars Legendsīefore Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012 and the Star Wars canon hard reset that followed, lightsaber colors had much more defined meanings. Writer Dave Filoni has teased that the unusual color has a specific meaning.
We don't know much about what they may symbolize, but we do know that the villains in Ahsoka wield similar blades. Orange lightsabers also exist in Star Wars canon. If one looks for thematic cohesion, one could see the homogeneity in both lightsaber color and explanation of the Force as a symptom of the Jedi Order's calcification, leading to their destruction as part of Darth Sidious' grand plan for the galaxy. For example, one hears the Force as music, while a different Jedi sees the Force as a vast ocean. The more varied colors may be due to the more individualized ways those High Republic Jedi experience their connection to the Force. Interestingly, the Jedi of the High Republic have much more variations in lightsaber colors compared to the almost entirely blue and green blades of those in the "Fall of the Jedi" era. matching his, ahead of the Siege of Mandalore). However, the crystals can be tampered with to produce a different color than their original bonded color (Anakin does this to Ahsoka's lightsabers, turning their green blades blue. Once bonded to a Jedi, the kyber crystal does not change color if the lightsaber comes into the possession of a new owner (Anakin's lightsaber remains blue even though Luke's lightsaber would eventually have a green blade, for example). The Darksaber, created during the Old Republic era, is another unique lightsaber with a black blade that reacts physically to the wielder's emotions. Mace Windu's purple lightsaber is rare, representing a balance between the other two. Blue denotes a Jedi who is a fighter, actively pursuing justice through the Force (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker). Green generally represents a Jedi with a serene connection to the Force and who is typically wise (Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn).
The color the kyber crystal takes on reflects the Jedi's specific connection with the Force and their place in the Jedi Order. Kyber crystals are colorless until they bond with a Jedi. In Star Wars canon as it exists today, there aren't broad definitions for what lightsaber colors mean outside of a few exceptions.
