What is the best lightsaber color and why is it blue?
Green actually, but blue is second
>>62631821
It's green cuz Jedi Luke
whats the point in light sabers
why dont jedi just learn how to use guns, they can become jango fett on steroids
red > purple > blue > green
>>62631883
Orange>red>green>blue>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>nigga purple
>>62631996
Purple is a royal colour u /pol/ mong
>>62631869
Because they are knights/samurais
Those niggas use swords.
>>62631869
Luke used both. His blaster was pretty useless against Vader so by RotJ he ditched it.
>>62631996
Who the fuck has an orange lightsaber?
>>62632148
Autists. It turns red if they're uncomfortable in a social situation.
>>62632148
This is star wars we are talking about.
The EU has so much shit that probably every color even black was a lightsaber color at some point
Fuck here you go. Its orange
and it is a fucking whip.
>>62632159
KEK
because it's green, you pleb
I like blue also. Green is cool too, but a little tryhard. Purple is extremely tryhard. Yellow and orange aren't canon. Red is for Sith and there's literally no reason to prefer the Sith over the Jedi, unless you're an edgy faggot.
>>62631869
>why don't guys who can casually deflect blasters use blasters
>>62632335
yellow is canon. i don't see why any color should be non-canon, it's just a color senpai desu
>>62632335
>Yellow and orange aren't canon
Shut up
>>62632198
There is a canon black lightsaber, actually
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darksaber_(lightsaber)
>>62632404
FUCKING SPOILED ME I'm watching the series rn I love it
>>62632436
>Was going to be a Vibroblade
>Lucas said only a lightsaber can clash with a lightsaber and not get cut through
>They hastily change it into the fucking darksaber
God dammit Lucas
>>62632436
Obi Wan kicked his ass in that fight. Wat a shit pleb, now I understand why only Jedis can use those things
>>62632429
Who are these masked men with yellow sabers(?)/weapons
>>62632494
But the magna guards use those electric staffs that block lightsabers.
>>62632527
They look like big guys
Do you think they'd die if you removed their masks?Also, if you're seriously asking, try reading the file name, dummy
>>62632527
Jedi Temple Guard.
>>62632566
How come we never see more of these guys, what do they even do?
The Jedi can only block/deflect blaster shots because they are so slow. They would have no chance against the kind of projectile that comes out of the guns we have.
Best hilt - curved. Best colour - green.
Posting muh OC saber
>>62632594
>lasers are slow
this is news to me
>>62632663
Blasters are not lasers.
>>62632673
says who?
>>62632594
>>62632673
They also slow them down for dramatic effect, and because audiences like cool lasers.
>>62632594
Wat travels faster, light or sound? Laser beam light? Or high powered gun shot?
>>62632429
Orange still hasn't shown up in any canon material though. There is blue, red, green, purple, two different shades of yellow, black and white. No orange.
>>62632739
there's no reason to assume they don't exist if even black does
>>62632739
Please tell me those sabers and crystals are canon and not EU shit.
>>62632739
isnt ahsokas second smaller lightsaber orange? i can never tell if its yellow or orange desu senpai im colourblind
>>62632714
Just to get things straight here... you actually think that the blaster shots the Jedi keep easily deflecting move at the speed of light?
You are an idiot. If that were the case you wouldn't even see them as a single projectile traveling through the air. It would be a short pulse that looks like a beam or you wouldn't see it at all. Just because it's glowing doesn't mean it's moving at c you imbecile.
>>62632779
It's lime green (No. I'm not being sarcastic or an asshole. It's only a shad yellower than her larger saber)
>>62631821
The bronze lightsaber that Chewbacca's Jedi nephew had.I dare you to say a more retarded EU phrase
>>62632791
>actual response
thanks F A M you're alright in my books
>>62632790
it's a movie, senpai. it's slowed down to make it look cool. jedi can see the future and have superhuman reflexes
>>62632739
I really like the gold/yellow. I thought the black would be awesome when I heard about it but instead of being a white core with black surrounding it like all other saber colours the inverted it so its got a gay white halo around it which looks shit.
>>62632790
>you actually think that the blaster shots the Jedi keep easily deflecting move at the speed of light?
It's the force, I ain't gadda explain shit.
The force tells them where to position their saber, and that's where the blaster bolt connects.
Luke put on a helmet and listened to the force, and he was able to block bolts from the little training droid.
That's why lightsabers are efficient weapons. They're used by force users
>>62632812
OR... it's simply not a laser. It's a blaster that fires a bolt of plasma. They also never call them lasers because they are not lasers.
Adam Savage did some calculations on this, determining that blaster shots travel an average speed of 130-135mph across the six movies.
To do this, he measured the speed the shots travel across known/calculable distances on screen, such as doors.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukokXOTFabM
>>62632869
Makes sense the lightsabers are plasma too
>>62632775
They're from Kotor
>>62632611
I never understood why Dooku's hilt is curved. I don't understand what advantage that brings.
>>62632998
JUST.
F U C K
MY
S. .H. .I. .T.
UP
My question is why even include green?? You just opened a Pandora's fucking bo of colors with that. Specifically since it's obviously pretty simple otherwise, blue is good guy, red is bad guy. Lucas is a stupid faggot, I hope he dies.
>>62633042
Real life reason is that Lee had arthritis and curved hilt was easier for him to hold. In-universe, curved hilt changes the degree of the strikes, making them hardee to parry.
>>62633063
>Vader Red (Evil)
>Obi-Wan, Luke, Blue (Good, saintly)
>ROTJ Luke (Good, but more than willing to get his hands dirty)
Honestly, every jedi in the prequels should have just had blue. Make the only one to have had a green saber be ROTJ Luke
>>62633068
I thought it was because Lee used to fence and the tilted hilt allowed him to incoroporate his fencing skills better than a straight hilt would have.
>>62631869
So uncivilized.
>>62633063
Better question is what is purple supposed to represent? A combination of blue and red, so is Mace Windu somehow more sith-like than the other "good" jedi? Is he the only true neutral in the entire universe?
>>62633063
Green is indicative of a connection to nature, to me Jedi with green sabers are more pragmatic and down to earth while Jedi with blue sabers are idealistic.
>>62633143
But fencing sabers have straight hilts, and modern Lucas isn't the kind of person who would let aanyone add anything to his vision.
>>62633216
Yeah but look at how you hold and use them. If you held a fencing sword like a lightsaber it wouldn't really work.
>>62633216
You don't say no to Christopher Lee homie
You just don't
>>62633263
>>62633277
Ok, maybe. Curved hilt is still awesome.
>>62633292
It's cause he had arthritis I think
>>62632998
>>62633044
kotor 2 mod actually
>>62633063
Red = bad guy blue and green = good guy really wasn't an established thing until the prequels. A lot of pre-prequel EU stuff didn't follow that at least.
And I assume they made the second saber green so you would know that it was different and that Luke presumably made it himself right away.
>>62633313
>>62633068
but he didn't do the swordfights except for the closeups
notice how when they're moving fast, dookus face is never in focus
>>62633343
It's not a mod, all those crystals are in vanilla game.
>>62633216
>fencing sabers have straight hilts
Except when they don't.
>>62633374
whoops, youre right
there's a mod that changes the hilt model according to what color crystal you use and it uses the same pic modified with the changed hilts, thought it was from there
>>62633386
How the fuck do you even hold that?
>>62633192
Actually yes, I believe his wiki has stuff about how he incorporates things from the dark side without falling.
>>62633363
They made Luke's second saber green because the blue lightsaber effect didn't work well in front of the blue sky during the Tatooine action scene. They figured it would be acceptable to change it's color since Luke would have a different lightsaber from the one he had in Empire anyway.
>>62633447
Like this apparently. Fencing is some weird shit desu senpai.
>>62633460
Except it reality a nigga just demanded a purpledrankshank as the price of him being in the film
Orange/Gold/Yellow is the best probably
>>62633063
blue should have been jedi knights, green should have been masters.
>>62632802
The droid that blew up when the javas were selling to uncle owen was actually a jedi and knew that r2 needed to meet luke so he sacrificed himself
I'm not fucking making this up
May have been kotor but im pretty sure I read that:
Blue sabers were for jedi who favored a more physical or direct approach to solving problems, preferring to master the saber instead of the force and being aggressive in their saber duals.
Green sabers were for jedi who favored diplomacy, patience and strategy, preferring to master the force rather than saber combat.
A lot of the actions of Quigon and OB1 in the TPM match this.
>not pink
>>62632654
Not gonna lie, looks straight up like a big silver dildo desu senpai.
>>62632654
Nice cane granmpa
>>62633782
Oh yes you are. Even the old EU treated Skippy the Jedi droid as a non-canon joke. Much like Luke's second clone, Luuuke.
How do you all know what's canon and what's not? Do you actually read all the fucking comics? Do you watch the childrens cartoons?
I understand that this is a case of >stop liking what I don't like but man I didn't know Star Wars was this autistic
>>62634516
>but man I didn't know Star Wars was this autistic
Really? Have you not been to Wookiepedia?
Purple, black, green, burgundy, mauve, puke, and Sinoper would be best colours.
>>62634535
I never have, except for the odd visit when someone here links to Jizz or Dart Icky or something
>>62631869
Would you rather be a knight in King Arthur's court? Honored and revered?
Or would you rather be a lowly thug in the ghetto poppin' niggas on the street for their pocket change.
>>62634516
>How do you all know what's canon and what's not?
Well right now it's very easy. The 6 movies are the main canon and everything that came out before Star Wars Rebels with the exception of The Clone Wars TV series is not canon.
Then all the new stuff that came out with the Disney buyout is the new canon. See >>62634399. Really you don't really need to care about any of this stuff besides the movies if you don't want to
Only plebs choose blue, green, or red.
Orange masterrace reporting.
>>62634626
Which one gets me mad paper?
>>62634655
Well that's a relief. I can understand that's it would be an absolute pain in the ass to follow each new SJW comic that comes out, just to be up to date with the canon and stuff.
Last question: what is this EU everyone is bitching about?
>>62634712
>SJW comic
Star Justice Wars?
>what is EU
Basically anything Star Wars-related that's not the movies or cartoons.
>>62634703
God Dark Forces 2 has not aged well.
>>62634712
>I can understand that's it would be an absolute pain in the ass to follow each new SJW comic that comes out, just to be up to date with the canon and stuff.
True. But the new comics are really good. From what I hear many things in the new canon have been great with the exception of this one book called Aftermath which is so fucking terrible nobody likes it
>Last question: what is this EU everyone is bitching about?
Expanded Universe. Everything that's not the movies or TV shows'
>>62634775
>Star Justice Wars?
I think he's saying Social Justice Warrior
>>62631821
>mfw a blue light saber has never and will never be used to kill a sith
The power rankings are as follows
Green>red>any other color>blue
Check the facts,blue is the most useless color
>>62632148
Plo coon, you noob
>>62634934
Anakin killed Dooku with his blue and Dooku's red saber.
>>62633559
>purpledrankshank
HA
>>62633782
retard doesn't understand jokes
>>62634712
>SJW comic
huh?
>>62634626
>Or would you rather be a lowly thug in the ghetto poppin' niggas on the street for their pocket change.
HOL UP
>>62634934
Blue was used by Obi-Wan. It was the best lightsaberfrom a certain point of view
>>62635292
the newer star wars material has extra diversity(tm) like Han's black ex-wife and canon fag characters
not chosing the black lightsaber
literally pleb: the thread
>>62632739
silver is best
>>62634946
the greatest jedi
>>62632739
silverish blue, like Luke's original
thin blade like the purple or orange one, though
>>62633642
This is what I always thought when I was a kid, especially after Qui-Gon had green in TPM.
Though it wouldn't have explained old Obi-Wan only having a blue lightsaber.
imo look at the wavelength of the colours, and look which suits your style
>>62632654
A little thin in the middle but that looks comfy as fuck.
Unstable red
red roolz
Blue > Green > Red > Purple > Yellow
Curved hilt > Standard hilt > Cross-guard > Double-bladed > Dual-wielding
>>62635375
For what kill? He used qui-gonns green saber to defeat darth maul. I haven't watched the animated series.
>>62637447
well, blue defeated anakin, the literal chosen one
thats cooler than beating some fuckboy literally who jedi that turned a sith
>>62632344
>if you can counter a weapon, that weapon is automatically worthless to you
Just because I'm bullet proof doesn't mean that being able to kill niggers way over there very rapidly is somehow not a good skill to have.
>>62631821
Red.
Because that's the one Dark Vader uses.
Inb4: cute butt
I don't care what color, just so long as it looks like a dildo.
>>62632739
Silver and Cyan were my go to colours in KotoR2.
>>62637406
This still looks fucking great
>>62632654
I aint trying to fight with no dildo
>>62631821
Grape flavored nigger jokes aside, I always liked Mace's saber.
>purple>blue>red>other
I hope that they have some new colors in VII. I always wanted to see a charcoal grey or white saber.
Orange > Green > Blue > Red > Purple > Anything not listed
>>62638289
It looks like shit desu. Why didn't Luke or Vader do any backflips or anything cool? They just stand there and whack at each other like a couple of uncoordinated old people rofl.
