6/22/2023 0 Comments Black light saber![]() ![]() ![]() This idea has been flirted with in the past (you could bring back Kyle Katarn with this rationale, Disney, you have that power), but not as a mainstream canonical concept. The display stand is black with a transparent piece to keep the hilt aloft. The relatively simple hilt is silver metal with black handle pieces and a black switch. ![]() The hilt lights up the blade bright green and features sound effects. As Lucasfilm reorganizes and expands the canon under Disney's stewardship, it may make room for a Force-sensitive hero that doesn't have to be a Jedi. The set includes Yoda’s hilt, a stand, and a Lightsaber blade. This concept of a middle path is an exciting one going forward for the Star Wars franchise. Dave Filoni, one of the creators of Rebels, has explicitly said that the white color is meant to make clear Tano's non-affiliation with the Jedi Order. For Tano, however, they became white, underlining her status as a Force-user: committed to the light side, but uninterested in the ethics code and priorities of the Jedi. If Tano had been an actual Jedi Knight, this likely would have resulted in her blades being one of the colors one would expect: most likely blue or green, or perhaps purple or yellow. What is put in, however, can also be removed after defeating the Inquisitor and sitting down to make her new weapons, Tano purified the Kyber crystals of the energy they'd been infused with, and added her own. This is the reason cited for Sith lightsabers being red - the wrathful energy Sith initiates put into their crystals is what produces the color, which has historically been a source of pride for them, reflecting their affiliation with the Dark Side. While various other lightsaber colors have been introduced in canon since George Lucas sold off the franchise - orange in Jedi: Fallen Order and yellow in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (though yellow has been used elsewhere by temple guards) - the one and only black lightsaber remains the Darksaber.Kyber crystals come in many forms, and from natural as well as synthetic sources, but they are all infused with the power of the Force when used to construct a lightsaber. After appearing in various episodes throughout Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, the Darksaber was used by Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian season 1 finale and will presumably return in season 2. Today, the Darksaber is a unique weapon in Star Wars lore that has finally been adapted into live-action. It's just that no one else has been able to create a black lightsaber before or since Tarre Vizsla existed over a thousand years before the original trilogy. In Star Wars, people can't merely go searching for a kyber crystal and come back with whatever color they want the kyber crystals have to be attuned to the Force-user. That crystal ended up forging a black lightsaber. In-universe, Tarre Vizsla was the first and only Mandalorian Jedi, and like every other Jedi in history, he needed to construct his own lightsaber by finding a kyber crystal that represented himself. Since it was a unique circumstance, Lucasfilm never made another black lightsaber. The officially licensed lightsabers, which are more realistic and expensive than than a plastic toy, feature: a character inspired metal hilt, light up blade, and realistic. It was a sword-esque weapon that emitted a white glow on the outside the original plan was for its user, Pre Vizsla, to use a vibroblade, but according to Dave Filoni (via IGN), George Lucas didn't believe a vibroblade would be able to combat a lightsaber, so they changed it to be a black lightsaber, modifying its design only slightly. Marketed to adult Star Wars collectors, a Hasbro Force FX lightsaber remains a common first real lightsaber for teens and adults. ![]() Star Wars' first black lightsaber, the Darksaber, was introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 2 in the Mandalorian story arc.

There wasn't a plan for it to be included since the common lightsaber colors at the time were blue and green for the Jedi and red for the Sith. Jackson requested the purple lightsaber, and Lucas abided. Various lightsaber colors appeared in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, but it wasn't until the prequel trilogy released that audiences saw a brand-new color for the first time on-screen (and in canon): Mace Windu's purple lightsaber. ![]()
