Yet it is not actually said anywhere. People often mistake "No, I am your father." as "Luke, I am your father." It drives me crazy, that wrong version does. 'Off-topicness': People do that with Sherlock Holmes too. In the stories written by Doyle, Holmes never actually says the line "Elementary, my dear Watson." He says stuff that mean the same thing, but never that exact line. Not sure why I said that, but it drives me crazy. -_- *Thwacks herself for the off-topicness and gets back on topic* *bows* You are almost right. And its not to late to join, come on in. The color of your lightsaber depends on the crystals that you use to power it. It doesn't mean anything, or eles when another Jedi were to touch anothers lightsaber, it would be changed as well. There are also differn't handles, like mine are rapters, which is perfect for dual lightsabering. The students are useing training lightsabers. They are weak versions of a lightsaber, but work for training. They own them untill they make their own. Thanks for letting me join. Yeah, I know about the crystals and all. What I meant was that more than once I've heard that the different colors symbolize stuff. The colors aren't directly affected by their 'meanings', they are affected by the crystals, as you said, but that the jedi who choose the colors keep the meanings in mind. Ack, never mind, I'm not making sense.

Actually, if I remember right, the crystals just reflect what the owner wants. I'm trying to remember all I can about the EU here, but basically, a lightsaber is a very personal thing to a jedi. It is an extension of themselves. Not just a mere apparatus. When Anakin build his first lightsaber (full powered), he went into a meditative trance-like state and couldn't remember much about the building process at all. He just knew it was done...
In Lightsabers, the book in "Young Jedi Knights" they all used various crystals that somehow reflected who and what they were. Jacen used a Corisca gem he had gotten. Jaina, a crystal she forged with her technical prowess. Tenel Ka used some from her Tiara (she also build a bit of a faulty one *cough* ) and the wookie dude got his from like a Volcano....
So, yeah. It's not like the colors mean too much in and of themselves, unless something has just recently come out that I'm not aware of...

I wonder if any of this crystal stuff was influenced by the kyber (sp?) crystal? That's what they had at one point when they were still developping the force. That was basically what the force was from if I understood right. (once again, if you get theoriginal trilogy on DVD for any one reason, get it for the bonus feature disc)

One of the better ones, in my opinion, yet OLD (takes place in between ANH and ESB). But it's not the original Kyber Crystal, as in how it was originally designed for the storyline. It may be an influence, but probably not too much. *shrugs*

I've finished my meditation.
Regarding my rank, I am nearly finished with my first lightsaber. Now was it black to positive, red to negative? *BZZZZT!* No... that's not right...

It's always "Two to beam up." Or "Four to beam up." and so on.

We were about to watch episode one to study the lightsaber techniques, but then episode 3 was pulled out of no where, wich we still have not watched and, hang on, those aren't Imperial storm troopers marching to our front door are they?
WWv2> Nooo, they are fluffy earless white rabbits carrying lazer guns. OF COURSE THE ARE IMPERIAL STORM TROOPERS!
I know they are, I was just merely- oh nevermind. Just put me on the loud speaker.
WWv2> Fine fine... there you go.
Thank you.
*over loud speaker*: Attention all jedi and padewan, there are Imperial Storm Troopers approaching the accademy. Repeat. There are Imperial Storm Troopers approaching the accademy. Arm yourselves and get ready!

YOU'LL NEVER GET MY EPISODE 3 DVD! *ignites his lightsaber which gives off a radiant royal blue light and prepares to fight to the death...* There is no death...there is the force.

*runs to where the storm troopers will be entering from and turns on her double ended golden lightsaber*
Padewans with training lightsabers may want to grab a full powered saber from the room full of emergency spares next to the caf. that has been cleverly hidden as an off limits janitor's closet.

I casually walk over to the stormtroopers. Then I ignite my twin golden sabers and start fighting in my special twisting and spinning style.
