  1. Orange being my favorite color, I greatly approve of this inclusion. The Kotor games did an awesome job expanding on lightsaber crystals, so it's great to see some of that lore trickle back into the canon if only bit by bit. Being limited to blue, green, yellow, purple, and red feels incongruent with such a large galaxy, there ought to be far more varieties of colors and saber characteristics.

  2. I think the truth is that Disney doesn't care or put near as much though into their television shows as any of the stuff in this video and was simply wanting orange light sabers because it was "new" and will sell toys.

  3. In Star wars Legends, Jaden Korr used an unstable synthetic red crystal from clone of Kam Solusar made by Thrawn, which he lost his second lightsaber to as of a result. He reverted to his first lightsaber, which he had lost to Tavion on Vajuun, but finding it again later and defeated the Kam Solusar clone. He would take the clone's lightsaber crystal and hilt and use it as his third lightsaber. As an experienced Jedi Knight, the purified the crystal to emit a now yellow color. He gifted his first lightsaber to the force sensitive crew member of the Junker, Idi-Shael, who he decided to take on as his apprentice.

  4. i think its an entirely different theory. just as Mace's purple lightsaber represents balance of jedi guardian's blue and the sith's red blade. i think the orange saber represents the balance between the jedi sentinel's yellow blade and the sith's red blade.

  5. I am very confused with your information
    When a Force-user bonds with a Kyber, it changes into a specific color that will determine its lightsaber blade color. In most cases, a Kyber turns blue or green, but on rare occasions, they become colors like purple or yellow. Kyber crystals can change color if they bond with another Force-user

  6. Surprisingly no one has mentioned Kotor 2 with the explicitly rare crystal colors of Cyan that the Exile used in the mandalorian war, the Bronze crystal used by Lowbacca, Viridian one the Jedi had never seen before, Violet like a hurricane in a sunset and lastly Orange like Haasqs Sun. These were all naturally occurring crystals although many did not give a description as to the location of formation. However we can surmise through Kreia(Darth Treya) that the crystal used by a force wielder is chosen through the bonds they make and their corresponding reflection of their connection to the force. And since Revan is Cannon this implies Old Republic knowledge as Cannon as well. This corresponds with the grey jedi of finding balance between the light and darkness although many would rely heavily on dark side use as a tool while the knowledge balanced with light side principles allows them to not become conflicted. The best reference to the light and dark side to be tools wielded by certain personal intents is what makes the difference in perspective of the user to others. Bendu is just as cryptic as Treya and also makes a point about its use as a tool. The tool is merely a tool but the intent behind the tool is nothing more than personal preference and affinity towards their goals.

  7. I personally think that orange is sort of like purple; orange being a mix of red and yellow meaning your in balance of both the light and dark but also good at lightsaber combat like the jedi sentinels

  8. So to me, and it’s been a minute, the crystals are all influenced by their users. Some of my lore may be a little old, but to my feeling the answer lies with Mace Windu.

    Windu’s innovations in saber fencing were aggressive and designed to be as lethal as possible, which is why he was the greatest duelist of his time. He was obviously a guardian, who typically wield blue sabers, but his controlled brutality was a dark tenant. Leading to the bleed (to use your term) of red hues into the blue, which obviously makes purple.

    It then stands to reason that orange would be a yellow crystal, wielded by the keepers of order and balance that were the sentinels, bled in with that same darker mentality. A sentinel would have seen the frailties in the Jedi Order and how they were straying from their philosophies more than most. They would have seen the need for the Jedi to fall to be remade.

    You’ll note that the grand inquisitor was a sentinel that completely bought into the need for order satisfied by the empire. The difference being his full corruption by the darkness.

    This keeps with the lore of orange saber wielding grey Jedi living outside the order without succumbing to the dark side that was sited in the video, because existing in the true grey requires a balanced soul.

    And to throw a bit about Ahsoka, also a grey user, but the white crystal lore to my knowledge is about redemption. That they are purified reds, which is a different ethos. This fits with her being a former consular archetype, like Qui-Gon who was also a mor grey leaning Jedi. One who saw darkness and looked to guide and redeem it.

    Now why would white be for grey consulars? Because red and green make brown, and I’d be damned if I could imagine a brown lightsaber…

  9. i find the excuses for orange sabers by filoni to be wholely infantile, not least because it makes the weapons into hacky mood rings, and each colour should not have a "meaning" or emotion behind it.. why? colours have no meaning because they are colours! but also because its such inconsistent garbage! 
    now he has done coloured cores of lightsabers instead of white cores before- can anyone guess where and why? in rebels and because they were on TRAINING MODE! are orange core ones on training mode? why not? he has shot down his own continuity. again.

  10. I don't care what they decide they mean, I'm just so happy to see Orange be cannon finally. If I get the choice I've always picked orange in any game with sabers <3

  11. I think an important fact that is overlooked in this video is that we have seen orange lightsabers before. Master Plo Koon, Yaddle, and Cal Kestis (after going to Illum in Fallen Order) have orange lightsabers, even if they are not used. The orange lightsaber, according to legend, is used by Jedi diplomats. They were incredibly rare to see sparked because words and politics were the main weapons of these Jedi diplomats. It is possible that Baylin survived Order 66 because of he was simply overlooked as a politician/diplomat instead of a Jedi.

  12. Maybe they can bring the OUTBOUND Flight story in the fold. It explains how Jedi survived Order 66 better then they just skipped away unproved. But it’s this Jedi who survived OUTBOUND and replaces Jorus . This then could even tie in Heir to the Empire stories just altered somewhat. I’ve been a big fan of OUTBOUND.

  13. Wasn't it the ancient sith that created the lightsaber that we all know of today cus they used to be powered by packs so they could be onto something about the synthetic crystals
