Red is from either A: a Synthetic kyber crystal or B: a corrupted kyber crystal (corrupted from the hate of a sith)

Only Sith use red lightsabers because red isn't a naturally occuring kyber crystal colour. The red colour is caused by corrupting or "bleeding" a normal kyber crystal.

That's the canon answer anyway.

Was Mace Windu's lightsaber red before the movies? IIRC it was only purple in the prequels because Samuel L Jackson asked for it.

In universe - the red isn't a "chosen" colour like the others, but actually normal saber crystals "bleeding" red because of the dark side.

Yeah, her Episode 1 toy had a red saber, she had red in the PS1 Jedi Power Battles game, and had red on a book cover or two. That was changed, though, and that was long before red sabers were made by bleeding crystals in canon.

IIRC, Mace Windu had a lightsaber in some Episode 1 games and action figures, and it was blue.

No, he was depicted as having blue before Episode 2.

Just how a Dark Jedi/Sith can corrupt the crystal to make it red, a Jedi can purify it if I'm remembering it correctly. So technically?

Also, there are always cases like a Jedi picks up an enemy's lightsaber like when Anakin caught Dooku's before he killed him.

If you want to get nerdy, that means tie fighters have stronger weapons. Green is a tighter wavelength than red so they pack more hit into a laser shot of the same duration or length as the red of the X Wing.

Before Disney bought Star Wars that was because Jedi had control of natural crystal caves, such as on Illium, so the Sith had to make synthetic crystals. And part of that was they poured their hate and rage in. The process doesn't always make a red crystal though, Luke made a synthetic one in ROTJ and got green. So user personality probably plays some role. Also in Pre-Disney, the new Jedi had to use a lot of Synthetic crystals because Palpatine destroyed the old known natural sources.

Also, fun fact, the only reason Luke got a green blade was because blue didn't show up well against the desert sky of Tunisia. He initially only wanted red and blue.

A Jedi can use it but a Jedi can also become a Sith and using the red crystals is one of those fate tempting things you have to avoid as a Jedi.

It's...a lot loss stupid than it sounds. Plus if I remember correctly a Siths lightsaber is from the first Jedi they kill. Which is kinda neat.

He doesn't get his red lightsaber until after Mustafar. Idr what color it was before. Blue I think?

Either way he ditches his Anakin lightsaber when he embraces being Vader.
