We’ve covered the origins of this very same lightsaber before, but we won’t get into that here. But let’s try again: it all started when a reporter in Empire magazine met Obi-Wan Kenobi for the first time after years without speaking to him (presumably because he was blind).
When asked about his powers and how they could be used against Han Solo on Tatooine or Luke Skywalker if Vader died at the end,the young Jedi answered with an innocent smile “The Force ”…as you know from TV shows like Star Wars. Yes! It wasn’t long until fans began debating who had green lightsabers.
Everyone has to start somewhere. The original lightsaber is thought to have been a purple blade made by the Jedi, but various colours were later used by various Jedi and Sith alike. Qui-Gon Jinn used a green blade during the Battle of Naboo while still in training, while Yoda wielded a blue lightsaber when fighting Count Dooku during the Clone Wars.
Anakin Skywalker had two different colored lightsabers: a blue one he constructed as a child, and a green or orange one he constructed as a 16-year-old. The latter is the blade he used throughout his adult life, until he “lost” it near a volcano on Mustafar.
To summarise: Someone made the “original” lightsaber (which looks like it has purple lights), lots of Jedi and Sith use different colored sabers at some point, we know someone lost the weapon soon after making it, and those who don’t lose their sabers will use the same colour for years.
He later stated with confidence that at least one group within Teshuva society did possess both magical crystals from early Galactic Republic history like those given to his race during their first journey through hyperspace so called hanalbakk, and also some advanced mechanical technology which contained holographic data files containing information on ancient technology.
The following example was taken from Ligar’s A New Way of Focus: “One day one of our technicians discovered that some very potent focus crystals could be used as collimation lenses for even advanced combat systems.
We brought them into close contact with each others’ blades but did not touch or concentrate on anything we had already formed within any single blade…In those days lasers allowed us both clarity-focusing techniques and fast moving targets without being too intense at all. It turns out laser technology has changed greatly since then.”
The great Sith–Galactic War was a conflict fought throughout the galaxy, beginning around 4000 BBY. It was caused by the fall of the Galactic Republic, which led to the creation of the Galactic Empire. During this time, many lightsabers were created using kyber crystals, as opposed to other materials such as dallorian crystals.
Kyber crystals were mined from the planet Corusca, but due to the destructive nature of their crystals, they were only used in select cases such as with Jedi Knights, Jedi padawans, and other users from the Light side. They were common because they were found to be less harmful than corusca’s other crystals. They are known to create singular beams of light without fail.
