There's already a burgundy... no, wait. It's maroon. My bad.

fallen order implies you can get really any color you want

i guess blue sabers are meant to invoke feelings of peace, and red feelings of anger

cause theres a canon gold/yellow lightsaber now, which makes it canon that theres what... 4 or 5 canon colors of lightsaber? Plus the darksaber?

Didn't Samuel L Jackson specifically request it to stand out or something?

I think I remember he was on some late night show once and he said he asked for a red lightsaber but they told him red was for the sith's lightsabers so he chose purple.

Which makes it kinda cool because lorewise, Mace sort of uses the dark side in his fighting style right?

It's probably more like they choose the color as a part of the character design.

Back with KotOR it was said that blue goes for those that focus more on saber combat while green is for those that focus more on force powers.

The story goes that he asked George Lucas himself to get the color. Lucas said that lightsabers were only blue, green, or red but hed see what he could do.

He showed Jackson the Geonosis battle scene later and his saber was purple

One of the few instances of Lucas having unlimited power in the prequels turning into something cool

Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. The red/blue dichotomy in paeticular has been a trope in fiction for as long as there has been fiction.

It's dark in there, and the red/blue lightshow looks awesome.

Luke had his green saber in the flashback with Ben in TLJ. That's the last we saw of it.

They lost Luke's blue saber in ESB, then they had it again in TFA for no reason. Then they broke it in TLJ, then they had it again in RoS for no reason. Then Rey gave it to Leia, then she had it again--you guessed it--for no reason.

Meanwhile, the green one just sorta dropped off the face of the Earth even though it would actually make sense for Rey and Leia to have it in RoS, unlike the blue one, and even though it would make sense for Luke to give it to her in RoS, unlike the way the blue one just suddenly appears on her person.

I recall hearing Luke only got a green one because it was a bitch trying to make the blue one appear properly in outdoor desert scenes during editting in post.

There's even still old advert posters for RotJ with Luke holding a blue saber because they hadn't made the change yet (likewise some of those posters also have "Revenge" instead of "Return" because Revenge of the Jedi was the original title they thought of going with).

Red sabers are actually made through corrupting normal sabers by channeling your anger and hatred, so yeah even beyond metaphorically they are also a tangible representation of anger.

I recall it's because "Revenge" doesn't sound like something a Jedi would do so they whitewashed the title.

Apparently the show is based on the original Star Wars concept art and blades were real thin there. As noted however it translates to 3dcg very poorly.

And yeah I just want to watch the shows bad but they look so awful to me. This concept art looks cool though.
