I know why, Cause Samuel Jackson asked George lucas if he could have a purple saber. And George was all like, nono, all jedi have green or blue. But Eventually he still gave Samuel a purple saber. (saw that in a making off)

Nope both Mace Windu and Yoda are senior members of the Jedi Council. They are the "leaders".

btw: Mace is not the Council leader!!! Yoda is... For example in ep1, he was the one who made the decisions (in the end with ObiWan) of the council...!

jacen is right.

the official colours are blue, green, red and purple. purple is a bit special, it's not a standard lightsaber. maybe because mace is kinda the leader of the council?
yellow and orange are sort of half-official. but they are DARK-side, as far as i know.

those two-crystaled lightsaber like corrans one with and extended or two-cored blade are EU only :)

Yubyub, Corran Horns lightsaber is Silver normally with the emerald(the color comes from a durindfire gem, also used in his granfathers lightsaber) and amethyst in its elongated state with the diamond. I got this info from I, Jedi and Dark Tide II: Ruin. Heh, I'm a geek. :D:P

What YubYub sais is true. It matters with jewel you put in it. And as there are 2/3 jewels going in a lightsaber you can have distinct colour variations. But blue and green are the most common colors. It is part of the Jedi Test to look for these crystals.

probably because all the saber fights r in dark places, or have a dark background so the colors seem more flashy and bright. a black saber couldnt be seen as good. who wants to see 2 guys fighting each other with hilts?

i wouldn't say there are any OFFICIAL lightsaber colours.

In theory the colour of your blade is related to what jewel you put in it.

Corran Horns is green (emerald) and silver (diamond)

Leias saber is red.

etc. etc.

I suppose if you used something liek obsidion you could, in theory, have a black saber.

no no no no no

Firstly the only official lihtsaber colours are BLUE, GREEN and RED (and now PURPLE) There is no orange, yellow, brown, silver, anything like that they were just made up by books, games and other stuff.

About which sides the colours represent.....

~Lightsabre Blade Colors And What They Mean~

Yellow/Orange(We believe these two interchangeable)
- "Luminous beings are we; not this crude matter." The Yellow abilities deal with energy, both in it's physical and metaphysical forms.

Blue - Mind over matter is the basis for telekinesis; mind over mind is the nature of a Force duel. Blue deals with countering mental attacks, seeking the paths of others' thoughts, and the universe of the mind.

Green - Of all the colors, this is perhaps the most important. Nature is the focus of this discipline, growth, life, and the course of natural evolution are involved with this color.

Red - Red is often a symbol of attack and chaos, making it the least used of the Aing-Tii powers. Still, mastery of these abilities will help those constantly on the front lines of a battle.

Purple/Violet - The color of seeing through illusion is purple. Truth in the face of lies, truth in the face of other truth.

Mace has a purple saber because Sam Jackson is a pimp. If you didnt notice, his saber hilt is also gold plated. Total pimp gear.


the real reason is because Sam Jackson told George Lucas that he wanted to stand out from everyone else in the last fight so that he could find himself on screen to show his kids.
