Get to know about Green and Black Lightsaber

The most important thing you need to know about a lightsaber is its color. You might have seen lightsabers in different colors and wondered why they vary so much.

Now, we will tell you about the two colors used for lightsabers in the Star Wars Universe: green and black.

What is a green lightsaber?

The green lightsaber is one of the most common colors used on lightsabers. It is the favorite color of many fans and collectors.

There are many notable Jedi and Sith who have green lightsabers. Some of them are Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Yoda, Count Dooku, and Darth Maul. You can easily tell that these characters all belong to the light side, as almost every lightsaber has a specific color associated with it.

What is a black lightsaber?

Black is the opposite of green. It is the color of Sith lightsabers. It is the only color completely black in the Star Wars Universe.

Only one character has a black lightsaber: Darth Vader. Surprisingly, he doesn’t have it in Episode IV. Darth Maul first used it in Episode I!

Can you get a green or black lightsaber?

If you love a specific color and want to buy it, well, it can happen. But that is rare. There are no lightsabers of different colors in the Star Wars Universe. The color of lightsabers is not determined by the Jedi or Sith lifestyle but by strict rules laid down by the Galactic Senate.

Interestingly, there is a big difference between the Jedi and Sith schools on this issue. While Jedi favors green, Sith favors black. That is why you only find a few red lightsabers.

You can get the color of the lightsaber you want if you want to customize it with the DIY kit. But these kits are quite expensive and need an expert hand.

What color lightsaber is most powerful?

There is no clear answer to this question. It all depends on the user’s skills and creativity. Unlike the other items in Star Wars, lightsabers are not created according to a strict pattern. Therefore, they can have different appearances and different effects as well.

However, if we did have to ask, it would be tough to say which color is more powerful. Both colors are equally powerful and effective. It all comes down to the user’s skills, whether he or she can make better use of the lightsabers.

Why is there only 1 black lightsaber?

The Galactic Senate restricted lightsabers during and after the Battle of Naboo. You can find this information in the Expanded Universe (EU), but George Lucas later erased it, and now it has been replaced.

The Galactic Senate passed a rule that only Jedi and Sith can use lightsabers. They also banned anyone from using the sith colors. This is why Darth Maul said in Episode I that he had to get permission to use a green lightsaber to mislead his enemies. This little fact is one of the reasons why Darth Vader’s black lightsaber is so rare.

How many colors are there in Star Wars?

There are 13 colors in total, with green as the most popular one. The list goes like this: white, blue, green, yellow, red, purple and pink (sometimes referred to as “fuchsia”), orange, silver/chrome, purple-pink (same as regular pink), blue-purple (same as regular purple), brown/gray and black.

The Jedi Temple on Coruscant is adorned with numerous lightsabers of different colors. However, this is a partial list of lightsaber colors. There are many other colors that we have yet to hear about.

Why does the Darksaber get heavy?

Darksaber is created by the planet Korriban’s Sith alchemists, so it has a heavy metal that becomes heavier when exposed to strong light. It was first used by the Mandalorian warrior Pre Vizsla and his Death Watch warriors during the Clone Wars. The Mando leader died at the hands of Darth Maul, and his lightsaber was passed on to the next leader soon after. Bo-Katan Kryze later used the Darksaber in Revenge of the Sith alongside Maul.

It was later destroyed during the Battle of Dathomir. Interestingly, the Darksaber was not black in the Clone Wars version in Clone Wars, but it was changed to black for Revenge of the Sith, which many fans have noticed.
