Lightsaber Color Meanings Question

TheMasterLight1·7/19/2019 in General

I had a question for everyone. This is my first time posting, so I apologize if there are errors. I am well aware that in Knights of the Old Republic there is a definitive system for colors and class. A Jedi guardian uses a blue lightsaber, Jedi Sentinels use a yellow, and Jedi consulars use green. However, I'm wondering If there is anything in what is considered the current canon which supports this, or even alludes to the fact that this was something done in the past of the Jedi order. Edit: It occurs to me that I don't know how to link things on mobile yet, so when I better understand the app I will be sure to add appropriate links to the wiki. Edit: Added link to post.

You're way more structured and professional-sounding than most new users. It takes some time to get used to proper posting, so this first post of yours is definitely a great start. I don't think you need to put KOTOR in quotes, but perhaps a link to its wiki page is fine. (Edit: nice, you did it.)

What you said is true in Legends, but nothing in canon supports the use of specific saber colors to fulfill specific roles. The Temple Guards used yellow lightsabers almost exclusively, but that's about it.

Yeah good job. I'm also new too the app but I even can see that that was good

Although the colors don’t necessarily represent the classes, 2 out of the 3 classes do exist in Canon ( Warrior Master =Guardian, Consular Jedi =Consular). Plus, the Sentinels in Legends had many different roles, one of which was the role of Temple Guard, which always have yellow lightsabers. So you could say that yellow represents the Sentinel (Temple Guard) in Canon.

What I’m trying to say is that although the roles exist in Canon, they aren’t represented by color like in Legends, except of course with the Temple Guards.

And I agree with the others, this is a great first post!

EDIT: And a Scorch profile picture? Nice

Cannon changed this a bit. While the old Cannon supported a different color per type of Jedi, the new Cannon states that the color has something to do with the users force abilities and personality I believe. And the siths are red because they use the dark side to curropt them.

What do you think?
