Hello folks. Wasn't sure if this was better served here or the Role-play Discussion board. Still trying to figure out what goes where ^_^
Anyways I have two Force-users who I want to give lightsabers to. One probably will have to earn hers in RP, and one that would currently be in possession of one. Basically in creating my lightsabers I'm up in the air about how to assign color. Since the timeline here seems to somewhat incorporate both Legend and Canon. I was wondering if there was a consensus on which theory rings true in Chaos:
Legend lightsaber color theory was (as best I can tell): You obtain a crystal. Said crystal has a color (commonly blue, green, yellow. uncommonly anything in imagination). Force-users could choose the color of their crystal based on many different factors, but are not limited. Red crystals were synthetic, quicker, easier, more powerful(??) thus most red crystals were for dark siders.
Canon color theory is that a crystal picks its user and the color is decided by how the crystal is used. A little confusing to me but I do like this explanation seems more mystical than "I want a cool cyan lightsaber so I can be different."
However anyone who bends the nature of the crystal, commanding it instead of it being an extension of the connection to the Force will result in the crystal being red (dark side). This I am very much less enthused by. It gives light siders all the colors in the rainbow except red and basically give a dark side dualist a beacon that says "I am EVIL. You can't trust me."
Let me know your all opinions. Also, is it possible for a dark sider to have a purple or orange crystal based on the Canon theory? Is there a degree of corruption to a crystal? If the dark sider is less a dualist and more focused on his/her Force abilities would the crystal be "less" corrupted than someone who has the philosophy of when confronted by an enemy take their head off with their lightsaber?
Thanks guys!!
