    What color is Leia's lightsaber? I've heard that it was either blue, green, or even PINK.

    Methinks

    Blue initially, built by Luke.

    Luke built her a second one, red.

    Vima gave her one, a blue or green one in DE (Thus colour confusion)

    Palpatine, a few short scenes later, blew up said blue or green saber.

    Red one destroyed by Tsavong Lah.

    Now just blue in the Dark Nest books

    Is that it??

    Close. IIRC, Heir to the Empire establishes her first lightsaber (her training one built by Luke) to be green...but the comic adaptation depicts it as blue. Go figure. Then there's the one Luke made for her in the Corellian Trilogy; she had her red one from Dark Empire, and Vima-Da-Boda's, later destroyed.

    I will. :p Luke gave her two crystals and had her change between the two for practice. Disassembling and reassembling lightsabers seems to be a training exercise for Jedi, as seen in the Clone Wars Cartoon in the Chapter with Bariss and Luminara. Luminara had Bariss deconstruct hers, choose a new crystal, and reassemble it with the Force before she finished her sentence, that thing from the Jedi Code (probably). That's difficult!

    Easy ret-con! :cool:

    Dark Empire lacked colour. How do we know it was scarlet?

    Also, Mara's ruby in her comic was violet in NEGTC's entry.

    I used to think she had a pink one due to the ESB children's photobook with vinyl record. There's one pic of her firing a blaster on Cloud City that looked to me as a child like she was igniting a pink lightsaber.

    She has one to match each outfit in her wardrobe! Didn't you know that colour coordinated accessories are a must?!?!?!? Takes her ages to get ready of a morning......poor Han has to wait around for her for hours

    Leia: "Which goes better with this skirt? Red or Green?"
    Han: "As I told you an hour ago, either's fine honey, please can we go now?" ;)

    Excellence:

    Also, Mara's ruby in her comic was violet in NEGTC's entry.

    ::::Flips through his copy of Mara Jade: By the Emperor's Hand:::: Looks fairly violet to me, though there's a few scenes where it's more reddish than it probably should be.

    At any rate, the live-action pictures of Mara-as-Hand show her with a violet saber, and I'd trust the coloration of those pictures over that of the comic anyway.
