Title: Favourite Lighsaber Colours
Post by: MicroPsycho on March 20, 2005, 11:19:38 am
Pretty self-explanatory. Colours come from movies/games.

*Disclaimer: colours that i am aware of, i am sure there are more.

Ya, it's from KotOR 2 as Ransom said, don't worry though, you're not missing much, they're kinda gay.

Magenta (is that spelled correctly?) or blue. Both are cool colors.

Too bad mr. lucas decided that movie-era jedi's are boring and use only two colors for their sabers :doubt:

Corran Horn had one. It had two length settings too. Long and Well Endowed, at three meters IIRC.

Oh, and I'm a sucker for Purple / Silver.

[SIZE=32]VIRIDIAN!!!111[/SIZE][/b]

Seriously though, I was going to pick silver until the dialog option of:
"It had a viridian stone, and was unlike anything the Jedi had ever seen before."

It sounded so beautiful, I had to have one :(

BLACK!

Technically not a colour, but the black/white contrast would look cool.  Also you can't actually make black light, but thats a minor detail....

well, before there was just red, blue, and green. Then Samuel L. Jackson asked Lucas if Mace Windu could have a purple one, cause it would be cool and different, so he let him, and now everyone wants lightsabers to be every color of the windows 8-bit 256 color palette.

Somewhere, over the windows 8-bit 256 color palette, blue birds fly.

Eh? We had multiple colors way back in '97 or so with Dark Foces II: Jedi Knight. And of course the other EU stuff has different color blades too.

I want the courscating effect Corran's was supposed to have, if not for the diamond being a cheap imitation.

LOL That would be rather cool ;)

Oh yes, and didn't Lucas have to tell Lawrence Fishburn to stop going 'Zzzzzzzzzzzz Psshhhhh!' when doing the lightsaber duels. Personally I'd be concerned about the colour choice of any Jedi that adds his own sound effects ;)

I don't think so; Lawrence Fishburne isn't in the Star Wars films. :p

IIRC, both Hayden Christansen and Ewan McGregor made lightsaber noises during there first take with a lightsaber. It's just instinctive.

The station around Yavin, between getting the last star map and going to the unknown planet. You pay quite a bit for it, but as its the last store you'll see, it doesn't matter that much.

You forgot cyan in the pool.
The very light blue saber (like the bluish version of viridian) simply rocks! It's damn hard to find a colour crystal for it in KOTOR 2!

THIS is cyan:
