Ah yes... denser light. C'mon people, speak English here! :P Seriously, the intensity of light only has to do with colour and brightness. The colour of your lightsaber, or how much light it emits, won't really change how much damage it deals, will it?

Because black is the best color... :o


Well since the dark side resembles destruction and hatred and the light side resembles love and protection, a darksaber would be way more powerful than a lightsaber, since it would cause much more destruction... But darksaber of course could only be used by superior dark... men like sith lords.

Well, strength means structural integrity, or in this case, the "intensity/density of the beam." You do know, light comes in different intensities. Perhaps a certain crystal could create a denser beam of light, and that would allow harder hits when hitting another lightsaber.

What do you people even mean by 'strength'? All the lightsaber is is a beam of coherent energy and light that emits heat when it touches things... it's no stronger or weaker than whomever wields it. All crystals could do is make it wider, longer, and/or hotter.

Obviously, colour does not determine the strength of the blade, the crystal does, because of one point. Red has a much longer wavelength, but it is considered to be slightly stronger than the other colours. So, the colour cannot mean anything, nor does the light, nor does any natural science. Obviously, the colour is just a by-product of the crystal, therefore, so I suppose that means a black blade wouldn't be more powerful, unless the crystal itself is.

THats preference but seeing as blades come from different crystals it means that there could be stronger blades and a stornger Jedi, doesn't always mean that they have a stronger blade but it could mean that they took an extensive amount of time finding a strong crystal :p

Purple. It is a color that represent a little more my gender and also is the color that Mara Jade used for her lightsaber and she is my favorite SW character.

I like the Blue lightsaber the best. It resembles a jedi guardian. I used to be on the Dark Jedi Brotherhood site. I was a Sith padawan i was learning the ways of the dark side. my master on the site gave me a red lightsaber i didn't reallt like it cause it resembled evil. I did learn some dark jedi powers like force crush,choke, and the best of all... Force lightning. But now i am a guardian of peace and light. So i really liked the blue lightsaber cause it is really nice.

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Yes, but most of the crystals you pick up are on jedi/dark jedi bodies, so they have already been shaped.

According to the fully authoritative and Lucas-approved Star Wars visual dictionary book-type thingy, red crystals are actually synthetic ones that the Sith learned to make long ago. Apparently they're slightly more powerful, and some have other bonuses as well. Jedi prefer natural crystals.

When I used to play the Star Wars RPG blade color was determined by crystal color. Intesity/strength of the blade were determined by the quality of the crystal. Blade length is determined by the size of the crystal. At the time the crystals were believed to be about the size of a walnut before being cut into the appropriate shape for lightsaber use.

In the RPG, the way we played may differ from others of course, it was desired to have a blue or green blade since they are considered to be of the highest quality over all. Red is equally powerful but the Jedi remain unaware of where the "red" crystals originate from. It was believed that only a small amount of red crystals exist and they are guarded by the Sith.

I was a long time ago but I am pretty sure most of this info came out of the source books for the RPG.

I read this somewhere but I dont know where.

Blue/Green - Light side colors

Yellow/Orange - Nuetral Colors used by either Sith or Jedi

Red - Dark Side

I also remeber purple being left out of the article. Has anyone else read this, if so it would be cool if you tie this in with some of the other lists people have posted.
