There is a brown or grey lightsaber, but it's in your imagination. wink

I think the topic of jedi shutting off lightsabers has been on here before. If you look back a couple of pages, you can find an answer.

Really? I really suck at that game, so I haven't even beaten a single level. Where or when is it seen?

In one scene on the Death Star in ANH, Vader holds a white lightsaber... raised_brow grin

BTW, does somebody have an idea what a Dual Phase Lightsaber does and what Frozen Blaster Technology is?
Yeah, I asked it before, but nobody answered my question.

I think you will always bring this thread to a dead end if you ask something that can't be explained any further.
What do you need these things for?

I don't know exactly what a "Dual Phase Lightsaber" does, I couldn't find it in the SWENC in more details, but from its name I conclude that it has two operational modes. Most likely they will change its length. "Frozen Blaster" is what its name says, I guess. I can't remember exactly, but some scientists accomplished to catch electrons in three crossed laser beams, so I guess that the "Frozen Blaster Technology" does something similar to a single blaster shot with a sort of electromagnetic force field or something like that.

You're correct that dual phase sabers have a switch that can adjust it's length and as I remember Vader's saber in the OT was said to be dual phase in some of the EU even though we never see it used in such a manner on screen.

What do you mean by this? Do you suggest that I should keep my questions for myself because they are too technical?
I wanted a more exactly explanation because I don't want my FanFic character to use those things wrong.

Your first answer bothered me quite a lot, but anyway, thanks that you tried to explain the DPL and FBT with your thoughts, Wobble and Starwalker.

[EDIT] Oh, Starwalker, do you mean that the saber can only switch between two defined lengths? That is what I thought about for my OC.

I've got no idea if it's a set length or not, however given that it's supposedly controlled by a knob on Vader's hilt I'd wager a guess that it's adjustable rather than something he simply toggles between.

It's over a year late but better late than never I suppose.

I think that there is an activation plate that is touch sensitive, it is at the bottoma half of each lightsaber. Once the saber has been activated via the shinny red button contact with the activation plate is neccesary to keep the blade alight.

Not sure were i read that makes sense though.

there was actually yellow and orange lightsabers once, in the old republic, but they are all gone now. the crystals must have run out or were all taken, and purple crystals are just rare.
