Full Series Darksaber - Thoughts on this?

We have to consider the fact that over 1000 years ago the jedi were still experimenting on lightsabers; this was when the crossgaurd sabers existed after all. The Dark Saber is probably just another experiment.
I like the idea of lightsabers being more unique during the OR era. If we ever were to get a form of media about the era I hope we see lightsabers of different forms and, more importantly, colors. In canon, we only have 7 lightsaber colors - Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, White, Black and Red. Going back further maybe there were Orange, Pink, etc. There could even be black sabers like the dark saber but with different light emitted. Maybe the ancient sith had a darksaber emitting red light. It would be really cool.

 

Its a one of a kind and unique to its creator. meaning there is only one known black bladed lightsaber that was called the "darksaber".

Saber colors in canon are colorless, and change color dependent and personalized to its creator and user. They also appear to choose the user and answer to one warrior over another. The new canon gives them something of a Harry Potter wand vibe now. Ahsoka was able to change the corrupted red lightsabers kyber crystals of the 6th Brother Inquisitor into white that matched her personality and status. Kyber crystals in canon are more mystical and and intertwined with the Force, so almost living objects.

 

Incorrect.

The kyber crystals are colourless, not the lightsabers. The way the Force-wielder bonds with their crystal determines the color of the blade once it is assembled. A lightsaber blade will never change color if it falls into the hands of another user, or even if it's user become evil. Case in point, Anakin Skywalker turned to the Dark Side and his lightsaber remained blue.

 

Don't know if I like the idea of the darksaber now being all that powerful. I just don't for some reason.

 

@Vialco

You're incorrect. The lightsaber kyber crystals are colorless is obviously what I meant by saber in shorthand.

Anakin as Vader never dismantled his saber and took out his kyber crystal and held it in the palm of his hand did he?! You have no case.

And yes, the kyber crystals change colors depending on who is using them. Sith Lords and their minions bleed their kyber crystals, a process that bends the kyber crystals to their will, the will of the evil new owner. The 6th Brother's kyber crystals felt familiar to Ahsoka[which apparently they once belonged to a Jedi she knew], once Ahsoka got position of the Inquisitor's red crystals she changed the red to her white. Inquisitors got their kyber crystals from the fallen Jedi Knights and bled them, turning them into the red bladed sabers. That process is reversible. Kyber crystals are rare & would only reveal themselves to Force wielders if they were worthy of them. Apparently Dark Siders are not particularly worthy, and so apparently scavenge them from the fallen and change their colors, or they are passed down from one Sith Lord to another, or former Jedi can turn their own kyber red. The dark side plays a part in the red colorization via the so-called "bleeding" process. Its why all the Inquisitors are using red blades and not green, yellow, white, purple, dark blue, light blue, orange or whatever.

Tar for whatever reasoning they devised in canon, managed to form a one and only black bladed lightsaber, so his kyber turned black. When or why did it turn black we do know, he may of had more than one lightsaber in his time even. Gone are the days of the different colored kyber crystals for each sword.

 

Well why would a Mandalorian Jedi make a flimsy saber as his weapon?

 

It's no more powerful than an usual jedi lightsaber, also not less powerful because it uses a kyber crystal as well.

 

I hope it's the only black colored lightsaber is all. I would really like a book about him though

 

I definitely agree with you their, an ancient Mando Jedi is something that screams to be made into a book and it would also give us a good new canon story set very early that would Not interfere with the new films and also possibly recanonize things elements from legends. The existence of the dark saber leans to something similar to the sith assualt on the jedi temple from The Old Republic MMO being canon as the Mandolrian female aiding the sith in the trailer is mentioned to be a membet of Clan Visla And it's been mentioned once in the clone wars and once on rebels that the clan stole it back during a conflict.

 

That's Shae Vizsla & she's my favorite creation to come out of the SWTOR MMO. I'm so happy that she's part of the canon, I bought this action fig of her a couple years ago, she has such an awesome design. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalore_the_Avenger

 

While her canon status isn't confirmed though, pre disney buyout she was obviously the one the Vizsla was alluding to in the mandalore death watch arc but that was when the EU was still at some level as canon.. Post disney buyout though the MMO became non canon. She still fits as the likely candidate unless they name another member of clan vizsla as the one who steals it in a new canon source.

 

I've never understood why they had a darksaber emit light. If it's a darksaber, it should absorb the light around it. It'd be a rather cool effect...

 

I can't even imagine what that would look like, I think I'd be nearly impossible to animate something that's black & absorbs light.

 

The only thing I can imagine is a black hole, which bends the light on the event horizon as it's sucked into oblivion. Animating a black hole is very hard thing to do, and one of the hardest tricks "Interstellar" pulled off. For a cartoon I'd agree it'd probably be nearly impossible.
