Canon Lightsaber color?

[DarklordKyo]

I'm a bit of a stickler for canon, and, as I hope to get this game eventually, for any Star Wars experts, given in-universe lore regarding Kyber Crystals, what would be Cal's canon lightsaber color?, if he had a canon one.

I'm thinking blue, but what do you doods think?

Most likely blue.

He starts out in the beginning of the game with a blue saber (which he's had since he was a padawan), so my guess is that would be it

Training sabers are pre-made, to be fair, and one of the hallmarks of a Padawan's rise to Master is building their own saber.

I don't think that was a training saber. When reaching Ilum, Cal compares coming as an adult to coming as a child. He specifically recalls being there with Master Yoda, meaning the saber is not a training one, making the loss of his saber more significant. So the, probable, cannon color is blue; however, a force user's imprint can change overtime so really there is no "cannon color."
Sorry I've thought about this a lot.

You're fine, and you make a good point in an imprint changing over time. I mean, it's how a White Lightsaber comes to pass, by healing the "bleeding crystal" in a red Sith one, yes.

I would assume Cyan would be most appropriate, since the blue saber technically is his master’s.

Cyan would imply that he’s a guardian of justice and peace, but also has a deep connection with the force [blue(guardian) + green(force master) = cyan].

Other colors such as yellow/purple/indigo/orange don’t align with his personality or his motivation for seeking out the force. At heart, he’s a protector with an empath ability that is very rare in the Jedi order.

He'd have whatever saber color he managed to make, maybe even Red. Everything i read is supposed to imply that rare colors were rare colors but it's a trope to have the color actually mean something.

If anything, I hate his stupid line about the crystal choosing the jedi like you were a Harry Potter Wizard wannabe looking for your first wand. To be fair, Disney threw out 90% of the lore regardless.

Knight, not master. That is another rank entirely.

Fair, point still stands otherwise, though

Anyway, a Jedi's lightsaber colour is dependent on the crystal. In most cases, it will come out as blue, green or yellow, signifying their specialisation within the order. But certain individuals are special in the eyes of the force, a rarer/unusual crystal will call out to them, and quite often these crystal will give the lightsaber a different coloured blade regardless of a Jedi's specialisation.

Cal Kastis seems to lean towards Jedi Guardian, who generally have blue crystals. So canonically speaking, his lightsaber crystal would be blue. That being said, pitiful few Jedis have survived Order 66, and the ones who did are quite exception individuals (although you could argue that the force guides them), so it's entirely possible that Cal 's light saber colour would change, since he is not only a very lucky individual, but also appear to be a Jedi padawan with above average potential, especially after he obtains his replacement crystal after going to Ilum.

I mean... slight spoiler but it's not his.

SPOILER: It appears hardly anyone commenting has played the game and is instead citing Star Wars lore in general. I'll try not to give away too much.




1) As a padawan, Cal recalls being brought to a Jedi temple with Yoda, along with other padawans, to get his first crafted blue lightsaber. He does not craft it entirely by himself. It's more of a padawan school field trip. Cal dropped and lost it as a young boy.

2) As a parting gift, Cal's Master gave him his double bladed blue lightsaber. This is the saber Cal uses through most of the game.

3) With a bit of self discovery, you eventually get to make your own lightsaber signifying Cal's becoming a Jedi Knight. So if you want to keep up with past lightsabers, it would be blue.Otherwise, in this important moment, you the player get to ultimately decide full fledged Jedi Knight color gets to be.

If you re-read the entire thread, the whole point is to analyse Cal's lightsaber based on SW canon, which is mostly based on other sources, not (just) the game, which compromised on certain aspects of established lore in order to give players a greater degree of aesthestics and role-play elements.

tl;dr: You're missing the point of the whole thread.

i saw something linking cal to the jedi in starwars rebels.... maybe his color (i forget his name and saber color?)

[GuyFawx]

Question? i know in the eu that red kyber crystals are only that color because of them being synthetically made is that still the reason in starwars lore or has it changed?
