Ahsoka had the red/orange sabers for Baylon and his apprentice. They were not Sith. I wonder if they are gonna change some of the crystal lore.

some of that movie really pulls on the heart strings. last time i saw it i was a kid. no way am i going to watch it now. its very good though. and yeah, it looks like Disney really likes ripping off speilberg. baby Yoda is Gizmo from Gremlins and those baby flying saucers from BNI get used in Obiwan.also Wall-E looks a lot like Johnny 5.

I get the feeling that it's going back to some of the little used lore from the legends series. Red is synthetic and flawless, but the other colors represent your role as a jedi because you change the color while making the saber. I only remember seeing it in one or 2 old republic and earlier books, but then it has shown up lately in live action again.

I thought the crystal reacted to the maker of the saber and the first turning on was kinda like a jedi gender reveal ;-) also didn't some sabers explode if they were not made right? that's why it is like "Oh Luke made one all by himself yo"
But I have read 0 EU so, yeah.

She's better looking than Zendaya at least.
Anyway, this looks better than Obi-wan and does look like it will include some EU lore. This doesn't look offensively awful or cartoony.

I only recall the sith synthetic crystals having a chance to assplode. The jedi used natural crystals. I suppose an explosion could have been possible there too, but they weren't being as harsh as the sith who forced the crystal to bend to their will. I do believe the color was revealed upon activation, but the change happened during the process when you were meditating and connecting with your lightsaber. I think there was even once when a saber changed colors after it had been made and used for years. Cannot recall if that was NewCanon EU, legends, or one of the tv shows.

Think my parents took me to see Flight of the Navigator in the theater. One of my favorites as a kid. The spaceship is still a pretty cool design, especially when it goes into its speed mode.

Ahsoka's lightsabers are using Sith red crystals she "cleansed" and are now white.

Why do you have to bend a synthetic crystal to your will... wouldn't it have been made to its purpose?

Not all red crystals are synthetic. Sith can corrupt a normal crystal by focusing their negative emotions into them and turn them red.

That was probably where I got that. That was in Clone Wars, right?
During the creation process. It goes into a reactor and you focus your will upon it to make sure it is created flawlessly. But harshaw was also right that they use natural crystals too.

Nah, it was in her book. She defeats the Sixth Brother and takes his crystals.
