Warning: let's keep discussing lightsaber details from KoTOR games that already exist out of this thread. That information belongs in one of the other Knights of the Old Republic forums. If you would like to discuss the ins and outs of the previous KoTOR games, do so in their respective forums.

The Power of the Jedi Sourcebook from the StarWars RPG states that before the Battle of Ruusan ( about 1000 years before Episode IV ), the Jedi had access to that world's crystal deposits and crystals of every known hue. Later they could only use crystals from the caves of Illum. As a result the blades were only blue or green - the only colour those crystals could produce.

Luke Skywalker later revived the ancient Jedi Tradition of imbuing common crystals with Force eneergies and using them ( probably something Mace Windu did too ).

Lightsaber blades used by darksiders very wildly in colour. The Sith used blades that were almost allways red, apparently they had a large supply of red crystals and their dark natures favoured the colour of blood.

Personally, I would like to see more colour hue variation, like dark and light colour variations ( especially interesting for your own lightsaber - maybe something like a colour menu when you create your lightsaber would be cool ).
And different handles would be awesome. Tenel Ka used a rancor bone ( or was it a teeth ) as her lightsaber handle in Young Jedi Knights. Btw, she had a white blade with silver sparks.

I'd like to see more hues

. this is something ive been thinking about for a bit see what you think. Having a lightstaff that you can ignite at one end, or both (as normal), also having it so you can break it apart and then have dual sabers. Be making fights alot more interesting. (I know its highly unlikely we will ever see it in a game but would be cool)

Also be handy if you could your own handles (if only the generic version, i hate playing a game and getting all the same handles, i like a mixture

)

I vote towards the black saber, because it would look sweet in well lit areas, and in the dark you wouldn't be able to see it at all (unfair advantages: definately darkside

)

Also, I think that USM had the right idea when they created Blood of Malevolence (the saber where a big rusty blade comes out the other side), and more evil lookin' stuff like that would definately be a good thing.

@Phreddie: There is no reason to repeat a post made earlier in the thread. Your 2nd post has been deleted. Refrain from doing so in the future.

black would be kool but they would need white (not silver) and grwy to cover all sides, and maybe gold, rainbow,magenta, or blood red, maybe if u get the force sensitive crystal like th eone you fin on dantooine it could e a color/power crystal, the degree of your corruption would affect the shade of the blade ie dark green to light green, blood red to pinkish

When I did the Trader quest on Nar Shadda I didn't get a silver crystal...I got viridian...I got my silvers/orange/broze etc... from the crystal caves and from jedi master/sith lords throughout the game....I'd like to see a dark blue crystal or blood red one...also I love the idea of custom hilts...but these dual colored blades are not plausable....color crystals are there to focus energy and the color of the blade is the result of this...dual colors couldn't happen because they'd cancel each other out unless you had some way to splice the energy needed to make the blade.

I think, that it would be great do so lightsaber of white (or black, or red) collor with red (or other) lightings around..

All throughout playing KOTOR 1 n 2 i've looked for a teal crystal and i couldn't find one i dont know if there is one but in case there isn't i'd like to see teal.I dont mean to offend anybody butif you want gold get a yellow and call it gold, same with a few others like blood red, darker colors then they already have i mean really come on guys use your imaginations.

How bout Puse. (A little pinky purple) or how bout a brown lightsaber?

Macen Press · Post by **Macen Press** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 11:28 am

I dont no if this has been said but i did like the whole randomness of kotor 2 because of what you could by or find but when it came to light sabers i got pretty upset (not litreally) because i played the game 20+ times and this is no lie i never had a silver lightsaber. so i would like to see something like a crystal seller who sold all the colours u could get.

marten0305 · Post by **marten0305** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 2:11 pm

Thats a great idea somewhere where the player could find a merchant that not only sells lightsaber crystals but also lightsaber parts so the player can construct another lightsaber, lightsaber enhancements whatever you guys call em (i think they are called parts but i'm not sure) and maybe on the rare occasion the merchant will have a lightsaber itself.

[QUOTE=Struttdaddy]silver is pretty close to white.....black...eh I dunno would be pretty hard to see.

maybe a dark blue saber would be cool...and how about pink for the ladies out there...lol[/QUOTE]

Silver is in KOTOR 2.

swgamanda · Post by **swgamanda** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 11:49 am

i think we should have a nice girly pink there should be a few girly coulors in there for the likes of us who also play theses games.

but im sure people will disagree with me

at least stuttdaddy has the right idea

marten0305 · Post by **marten0305** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 12:17 pm

First there is a silver aboard the sith ship the Ravager at least i think it's called the Ravager it's ine one of the rooms i think by a workshop but the point is that there is a silver crystal.

Second i wouldn't mind to see a couple girlie colors for when the player be's a female (whether the player is female or not) i wouldn't mind seeing a pink for female Jedi masters instead of purple.

I've changed my mind. I'm now partial to my friend Dave's idea (which is probably the sweetest idea ever): a red saber, spotted with green, and every time you pull it out, it smells like watermelon

If that's not the best idea you've ever heard, why don't you go think up something better

marten0305 · Post by **marten0305** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 1:09 am

Alien Newborn: very funny but the black saber would be sorta nice it would look pretty interesting in a well lit area but a scented multi colored crystal i dont think the players will respond to that well but i could be wrong.

But i sorta changed your idea a bit, how bout a double lightsaber with two different colors at each end like green and blue or yellow and purple.

Smelly lightsabers.......

...as for the two colored blades and two colored double blades I don't see how that is even possible.....If I remember correctly double bladed lightsabers only have one power source and the crystal is used to focus that power so only one would be able to work.....but that would be cool if they figured out a way to make two colored double blades....as for this Multi colored Single Hilt....not gonna happen...one power sorce one crystal
