    I do not know if this was mentioned, but if anyone can shed light on this topic that would be super-deluxe-special. Red Sabres are for the Sith. Blue is Good. What about Green and Purple? I know Luke had a green one in Jedi. Any thoguhts? I thank you in advance for your immediate cooperation.

    In every Star Wars movie, Sith have had red and only red sabers. Jedi have had all the other colors, but never red.

    Does a green represent more growth of a jedi? Luke went from Blue to Green. Black would be cool!

    No, because Obi-Wans saber in ANH is also blue...

    Blue, Green, Purple = good guys
    Red = bad guys

    Straight from George Lucas' mouth.

    I know GL wanted red for the bad guys, and blue for the good.

    However, the blue saber blade didn't show up against the desert in RotJ, so green was used.

    The purple was just for SLJ because he whined.

    Oh stop it Sam Jackson didn't whine. I dunno if you saw the AOTC DVD but this is how it went:

    George: "Blue and green is good guys, red is bad guys. That's just how it goes..."
    Sam: *looks out in front of him as if he was asking for a raise but doesn't feel comfortable doing so.*
    Sam: "So no purple?"
    George: "Hmm.. you might get purple.."
    Sam: *smiles*

    Red is about the darkest color yoiu can get. Green, Blue, Yellow, Purlple and any other colors mean light kind of i guess.

    Around the time of the Sith war, red and purple were the colors of the Sith, over time, it just adapted to red. Now purple is just considered a light side color.

    SLJ got a purple saber so his kids could see him in the crowd on Geonosis.

    Well, the Knights of the Old Republic video game makes no reference to purple lightsabers, but it does say that blue is for Jedi gaurdians, yellow is for Jedi consulars, and green is for Jedi sentinels.

    Lightsaber colors are irrelevant. They can be any color, regardless of the user's affiliation. It's just that blue and green crystals are more common, which is why so many Jedi use green and blue sabers.

    Look at TOTJ, not one of the two Sith Lords donned not one red lightsaber. Well, not from what I've read... but I haven't touched Redemption yet.

    Well as stated above the those colours smybolized Good, and Purple was only for Samuel L. Jackson. Yet, I also have my own theory, it many times appears as if certian ranks have a specific colour does it not? :confused:

    It does not. Master Qui-Gon had green
    Master Yoda had green
    Master Obi-Wan had blue
    Master Windu had purple
    Padawan Skywalker had blue
    Padawan Luke Skywalker had blue and green
    I forget which colors Koon and Mundi had
    Darths Maul, Tyrannus, and Vader had red


    If you dwelve into the EU, they had all the colors of the rainbow.

    I thought Mara's saber in the comics looked more pinkish than purple. It was an off-red, really. Kudos to the colorers for the symbolism.

    Red is about the darkest color yoiu can get.

    But purple is pretty close. Mace's saber was pretty dark in AotC, so you could argue Lucas is trying to show he has a dark character.

    Black would be ideal, but I don't think a UV-lightsaber would show up well on screen. Plus, it's dangerous to a Sith's vampiric-white complexion to get that many rays. :p

    Well, he is a "dark" Jedi...

    Actually, when TPM came out, I heard rumor that Mace would turn traitor... This obviously isn't the case now, but his saber color could have had a deeper meaning; had that been the case.

    He´s certainly not a traitor, but he is symbolizing the Jedi order, which is falling for corruption("A flaw more and more common among Jedi. Too sure of themselves they are...").
    So it´s not just about seeing where Mace is. It´s also an appropriate lightsaber color for the character.

    and Purple was only for Samuel L. Jackson.

    Mara used a purple lightsabre when she was a villain.

    I thought Mara's saber in the comics looked more pinkish than purple. It was an off-red, really.

    Pink, purple, same thing. The blades are made out of beams of light, so they'll look the same whether they're pink or purple.

    I wouldn't be so sure about his being a good guy, if I were you. Masters of deception, dark side users are. Who deleated the files in the library? I'd wager that Mace had a part in it.

    Red is for the Sith while the other colors seems to be for the Jedi such as Green, Blue and Purple.
