Re: Best Lightsaber

Well if we look at it the scientific way, there is no way to produce "rainbow" light from one source. That is if you would want for your saber to have rainbow colors you would have to put 7 force crystals in it.

I noticed someone mentioning black lightsabers abouve. A Black LIGHTsaber is a contradiction in terms. The only thing in the universe that can produce a black light is a Black Hole. And we all know that they tend to suck in them all of the surrounding matter. So in a sence, a black lightsaber would appear as if it way sucking away light and thus appear black.

Re: Best Lightsaber

That true George on the black saber and on the rainbow color but since the lightsabers are in games and movies then really you could have any color choice that you would want to have.

Actually that entirely depends on where the light is being produced, how it is produced (eg what form, 'cause I can't remember if white lasers have been done and I imagine lightsabres involve laser tech), and the shape/structure of your crystal. A simple glass prism can defract light in the right configuration.

Now I'm not that sure on the sci-fi theory behind lightsabres, but I remember once reading a theory that the light was bent back in on itself, so each blade is actually a loop of light rather than a straight beam, which might make the whole refracting thing a little trickier, but not necessarily impossible in a sci-fi universe.

Re: Best Lightsaber

I agree with your logic Lilitia.

Well everything is theoretically possible in a sci-fi universe. As for white lasers there are none, but there are colorless lasers which you can't see, but I guess you can call them white lasers.

And although everyone has their own tastes I still think that having a lightsaber with rainbow colors is pretty ridiculous.  big_smile

Re: Best Lightsaber

Lets take this back to where I was talking about in the KOTOR games were it would be awesome  to have the choice to mx your own colored lightsaber. So if you could have that choice what colors would you mix together to get a new color for your lightsaber?

How do you mean? Like there's only so many colours you can get from crystals so you put two together to get a new colour? Or that you can have two colours there together, like on a mod I saw that has one colour with a different coloured glow around it?

Re: Best Lightsaber

I am talking about like you take the color blue and mix it with the color yellow and you get green. So what 2 colors would you pick to mix together to get a new color for a lightsaber?

Re: Best Lightsaber

Actually there is a black saber!

"The Darksaber was an ancient, black-bladed lightsaber. Unlike most other lightsabers, the Darksaber's blade was nearly flat, thin, and curved to a point more typical of a metallic sword. The black core of the blade appeared to draw in all surrounding light and color, leaving a faint white, electrical aura along its edges, and it hummed with a higher-pitched whine than its more common lightsaber counterparts when the blade was active, and made a sound like a whistle when it was swung. Once held by the Jedi Order, during a period of collapse in the Galactic Republic's power, the Darksaber was stolen by members of the Mandalorian warrior clans."

Re: Best Lightsaber

Also here is a list of all known lightsaber colour crystals As well as their owners (if known). And some background! I myself would use Green and blue and make an aqua like Galen Marek did. That or Cyan.

For millennia, the Jedi Order lit lightsabers in every color and hue imaginable. However, following the Battle of Ruusan, the hues of most available crystals had been limited to either blue or green. Lightsaber color crystals could also be compressed, resulting in a pulsating blade, or they could be unstable, resulting in a core which swirled and sparkled.

Lightsaber crystals of different hues could also be used in the same lightsaber to make a new blade color; for example, Galen Marek used Rahm Kota's green crystal along with his father's blue crystal to create an aqua blade.

The following is a list of all known blade colors.

Acid Yellow (Anja Gallandro's lightsaber)

Brown (Bnar's Sacrifice)
Burgundy (Solimon Dambrizi's lightsaber)
Carmine (Bane's Heart)
Clear (Barab Ingot)
Cobalt (Saesee Tiin's lightsaber)
Crimson (Adi Gallia's lightsaber in 32 BBY)
Cyan (such as Meetra Surik's lightsaber)
Cyan w/ silvery glow (Mantle of the Force)

Re: Best Lightsaber

That was a awesome list that you put together and shared with us and I did not know that there was that many colors of lightsabers. I would love to see the Indigo lightsaber and I know that in the first book of Bane when he joins the Sith he meets another Sith that has a Light Whip that sounded awesome.

Re: Best Lightsaber

I really need to read those books >< I'm so lazy

Re: Best Lightsaber

Yeah, I have read some of them but there are so many that it is hard to find them all and read them. I like reading the ones that are about the Sith and Drakside more then the jedi and lightside.  cool
