Methos007 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Speaking of KOTOR, the sith seem to have red lightsabers, but also some have purple - Mace Windu has a purple lightsaber and I don't think he's a sith (I have not seen Ep3) but what is going on there? Is there a change of traditions? What's going on!? [/b] BTW, I've beating KOTOR several times, where did you encounter purple saber sith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Here we go, from the Databank at http://www.starwars.com comes: The blade's color depends on the nature of the jewel it springs from, and while its length is fixed in the case of a single jewel lightsaber, lightsabers equipped with multiple crystals can have their length varied by rotating a knob that allows the focusing crystal activator to subtly modify the refraction pattern between the gems. http://www.starwars.com/databank/technology/lightsaber/?id=eu So, a jedi's saber color is solely dependant on the crystal the choose. Extrapolating on this, as long a Leia's saber crystal is natural and produces a crimson blade, there should be no problem. But, I would get a new crystal for mine if I were to remain a Jedi in good standing. Unlike the Jedi, who use natural crystals mined from such worlds as Ossus in the Adega system, the Sith prefer synthetic crystals to generate their lightsaber blades. While the crystals are being forged in a blazing furnace, it is not uncommon for a Sith to reach out with the Force and manipulate the process, focusing his hatred for the Jedi to increase the potency of the crystals. http://www.starwars.com/databank/technology/sithlightsaber/?id=eu And a sith's crystal is artificial and infused with their hatred.

ET Warrior Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Originally posted by toenail1 the crystals also determine length, power, and so on I never understood the power part. I've heard it many a time, and I just don't get it. Lightsabers cut through anything except other lightsabers (and cortosis ore) and the power of a swing is based on who is weilding it. What kind of power does a crystal add to a lightsaber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 the sith crystals are synthesized so they are naturally more powerful than the natural jedi crystals. but as far as more powerful goes i didn't hear about that until KOTOR was coming out to say the truth, so i assume that the power quality may have been added for a game value to increase HP. i may be wrong but thats what i assume.

Yes, I believe you are right. So the difference in power-output due to using a certain, I think, should largelly be ignored outside a game context.

Johch Ai'oki Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 (Hi all. I guess I'm the new guy here today.) Didn't someone have a website completely detailed on lightsabre, from moves and techniques to the meanings of colors in big paragraph-ish detail? Because I remember going to it a few times as reference before. Made by someone named Hekx, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johch Ai'oki Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I know about that. That's more of who had what hilt and what did they look like and what blade color they were. That wasn't what I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 In defense of whoever said dark jedi have purple lightsabers sometime in KOTOR, of the first set of 3 dark jedi I ran into on Kashyyk, one of them WAS weilding a purple lightsaber.

Johch Ai'oki Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 KotOR, IMHO, is not official SW history 4,000 years B.B.Y. (Before the Battle of Yavin) because it intersects in many ways what was already established as SW history. Now, I dunno when the first synthesized crystals were made by Sith, but certainly not 4,000 years B.B.Y., not when Exar Kun wreaked havoc in the Galaxy with the first made Double-bladed Lightsaber, which is very much a rarity compared to KotOR. Darth _____ names of Sith Lords did not start until after the battle in Ruusan 1,000 years B.B.Y. where the Sith Lord Kaan and his Brotherhood of Darkness gone against Jedi Master Hoth and his Jedi army of Light had battled with great power (it's aftermath created the Valley of the Jedi, for Kyle Katarn to free the trapped souls in the valley). Now, if I remember correctly, most Sith Lords there had purple or mabye even some red lightsabers. Now, in the aftermath, there was one Sith Lord who escaped and ensured the survival of the Sith (and who had a completely unique name until now): Darth Bane. He started the code of one master, one apprentice to help the Sith survive in the shadows. Also, every Sith Lord after Bane was named "Darth _____". Now, KotOR had no special attention to SW history, so they replicated what Rick Berman did to his newest ST spinoff, and didn't give any care of what was established as history in any kind. It's not really what I like, but then it's in my nature to really get into what I'm interested in, which one or two of you might frown upon, but I don't care, I can't get anything from you through my thick skull.

You know, I hadn't thought of this before I read this, but I think you are very much right on this. I can't really remember anyone being named Darth earlier than 2000-1000 years BBY, not even as far back as the old Sith Empire. It has always only been Lord. But who cares, damn fine game, and that's what it is, a game. Even the first X-Wing game of 1993 has faults to it, like A-Wings BEFORE the battle of Yavin.

Johch Ai'oki Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Well, JK2 doesen't really have a good storyline, and isn't technically a part of SW History due to the fact that the Valley of the Jedi's power had already been nulled when Kyle Katarn freed the souls of the trapped Jedi in the valley in Dark Forces 2, one of my favorite all-time SW games (I wish I had it again... I lost it!! *groan*). But you're right, it's a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KotOR, IMHO, is not official SW history It's ironic, because you're taking the word of story A over the word of story B just because A came first. But who's correct? Correct answer...........NOBODY! It's all just a bunch of stories and NONE of it is official Star Wars history! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johch Ai'oki Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Maybe, but then does that stop me from nitpicking about the two EU stories established about the ancient Jedi Knights and Sith Lords 4,000 B.B.Y.? You may not care about what the story is and deem it unoficcial, and you may be right on unofficial, but you're going to have to do better than that if you think you can stop my opinions. But I semi-agree with you. It isn't in the movies. *shrug* Oh, and no hostility meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a quick question - Johch Ai'oki is talking about the EU, does Lucas himself gve the storyline etc for it/them? Because othewise we can only realy take the films as "true" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 No he doesn't give any storyline to them. They just write something and then a bunch of people read it, Lucas looks at it(for like a sec) and then it's sent to wherever it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
