![EVERY SINGLE Lightsaber Crystal Explained [Canon + Legends]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/h6yM6ibNl4k/mqdefault.jpg)
It is hilarious that Lucasfilm can constantly change and alter established lore , but they are incapable of coming up with original ideas for Star Wars that people actually want.
Disney fanfiction will never be as good as the og story
Facts tho.
The story behind this from Shadows of the Empire was a minor part of the overall narrative. But of course they had to throw that part out along with the rest of it, because it explained it as Luke using a furnace type device and meditation to create a crystal. Can't have that, because it would hint at the original Sith notion of alchemically producing their saber crystals instead of the edgelord super cringe "bleed my crystal" nonsense that the "Story Group" came up with.
That doesn't make any sense
You'd rather they copy from legends, at least they made their own version of events
Honestly I love how they linked Vader’s vision in his castle from his comic with Luke’s vision in this comic, especially after all this time
Theory did that himself
@@harrambou9468 What... No? The both comics look similar to each other in these scenes, nothing to do with SWT.
Theory has a hole on his chin that looks like a cats poop hole
@DCWA11 that's just unnecessarily rude.
i personally love the theory of luke having qui gons kyber crystal the entire time we seen it in return of the jedi. it’s way more poetic and beautiful in terms of star wars
I can agree with that, but at the same time I think Luke was better off getting his own Kyber Crystal. Just like he got his built his own lightsaber.
That would kind of undermine his path to becoming a Jedi. Building his own lightsaber and finding his own kyber crystal is more meaningful in my opinion.
@@Kyle-fp5lm I’d agree but this story of doing it is pretty damn weak
@@Shocknfunk I agree with this, it doesn't feel like this moment is a big moment and it should be.
Then why wouldn’t he have used it the entire time?
I think Disney missed big on tales of the Jedi I would have loved if they had one more shorter episode showing dooku bleed his crystal and then ashoka healing hers.
Yes oh my god that could've been amazing
Good thing S2 was announced, so there’s def potential for some of that stuff
@@antoviamonte3429 tales of the jedi S2 was pretty cringe compared to S1. Hopefully it gets better in S3.
@@veeclash4157you from the fiture?
@@veeclash4157 time traveler
Sorry. Gotta side with the "Shadows of the Empire" origin of Luke's green lightsaber. It has more resonance that he built the saber and fired his own crystal in Ben's hut using the same Sith ritual but harnessing the opposite emotions. It was in important step for him to take on his own to become a Jedi. Plus, it seems unlikely that there would be any place left in the galaxy with kyber crystals that the Empire didn't know about or have strip-mined to make the Death Star or otherwise weaponise.
Agree shadow of the empire explanation is so much better.
The galaxy is a massive place. is it really that hard to believe that their are hidden places with kyber crystals. The empire nor Palpatine know all of these places. Let's think logically.
So this comic confirmed kyber crystal by default are colorless. I didn't know that. It also allows for another reason why they are green in death star and red in starkiller base.
This!
Blue = natural kyber
Red = synthetic kyber, made by Sith
Green = synthetic kyber, made by Jedi
It's simple, it works, and it didn't break any canon at the time. Really would have made Luke's new Jedi order stand out as something different from the old with them all having green sabers, as well of being a constant reminder of what the Empire did. A blue crystal would become an exceedingly rare thing. Disney is overcomplicating this, they might as well be mood rings at this point. Oh no, his saber's turning red, he's going dark side..oh wait, it's orange, he's a dark jedi who's evil but not all the way..
@@logicplagueNah
There’s a part of me that wishes Luke had used Qui-Gon’s crystal, but I also think it’s good that new canon is showing Luke forging his own path forward. I think both are solid, even if the new canon is putting a bit too much science into the mysticism of how things work.
I liked the idea that it was Qui Gon’s too. In the books Obi kept the green saber for a short period of time and even on the mythos statue from sideshow it shows Obi/Ben with his lightsaber and Qui Gon’s on his belt too, I liked to think that Ben always knew he wouldn’t be around to train Luke fully and kept Qui Gon’s saber all these years so Luke would have a crystal when he finally goes to make his own lightsaber
It might actually work
Yeah not everything has to be connected to previous characters, using qui gon's saber takes away from Luke becoming his own person. And I think the science and mystical combination is perfect, gives some new flavor to star wars and it's pretty cool and creative the way they've done this issue
The Legends take was also scientific.
Obiwan knew valid Focusing Crystals were incredibly hard to come by in the Empire {don't recall if they were a controlled substance or just something it would have been too slow for Luke to try to track down with imperials breathing down his neck} so he left behind notes on how the Sith synthesized their Lightsaber focusing crystals.
Luke became one of the first Jedi to make his lightsaber crystal in a little home -meth- lab in Ben's house on Tattooine
Feel you 1,000,000-percent, here.
Corrupting and purifying crystals is one of the things i straight up like more than how it was. It makes it more belivable that the crystals are alive and in tune with the wielder and not just some rock from a cave
For real. I actaully really liked this change by Disney
Been saying for years that this is one of the only Disney changes I liked wholesale.
I prefer lightsabers as a simple and elegant weapon rather than housing some living semi-sentient consciousness.
But I can see how it would appeal to some.
I agree for sure, I'll never like Disney Star Wars but letting the colour of the crystal be formed by bonding/bleeding is a way cooler idea
makes the colour itself much more personal to the wielder, instead of just picking a green/blue crystal from a cave
Which is cringe...
I much prefer Luke making his own crystal instead of harvesting Qui-Gon’s. Doing so would make the universe feel small, and Luke’s lightsaber wouldn’t feel like his since he’d have a near exact copy of Obi-Wan’s hilt with Qui-Gon’s crystal. But with this change, Luke pays a slight homage to his first master while still having a crystal that truly belongs to him. I’m glad it was done this way.
when a jedi makes their final lightsaber design, its common practice to use a similar design
Definitely does not make the universe feel small 😂🤦🏻
Why would qui gon crystal be more sentimental like never met qui gon and hiw can it be the force ghost world but yoda doesn't look a ghost but obi wan does
Luke not like
@@dolurosu haha well I guess I'm sorry y'all have such an insignificant imagination then😂🤦🏻
That little sentence of Yoda is actually pretty deep and logical as often. Luke sometimes feels the Force pulled out of him, it frustrates him that his power in not always available or at its full maximum. He wants more and reacts negatively when it isn't brought to him, showing how easy it is to fall in the Dark Side's trap. On the other hand, Yoda trusts the Force, that even if it weakens some period, it will find him again in due time. Yoda respects the will of the Force as a Jedi should. A Jedi lets the Force flow through him, dialogues with it and is thankfull for it. A Sith only seeks ambitious, power and destruction, and will bend the Force against its will. Again a very deep, coherent demonstration of the Force workings.
I don’t think Qui-Gon’s crystal really called to Luke. I don’t think that this crystal he received was really “random.” There was a clear path that lead him there and to the very crystal he got. It was the one that he was actually able to connect with.
I actually don’t mind this. I actually prefer Luke having his own Green kyber crystal than just taking Qui Gon’s. It makes it his own light saber.
Why wouldn't it be Yoda's crystal? He leaves Dagobah, presumably never to return, after Yoda's death. Why would he NOT take Yoda's saber?
@@TijuanabillYoda los this lightsaber in order 66
@@djcuevas1057but Luke offered Grogu Yoda’s lightsaber in the BOBF. So the comic has been retconned
@@Gyatso98 That's not a comic. It happened in ROTS in his duel with Palpatine. Yoda's saber is thrown out of his hand and he flees without getting it back. The only way Luke could've gotten it is if Palpatine kept it as a trophy and Luke found it after ROTJ when looking through Palpatine's hidden vaults and stuff. But then that would retcon Palpatine destroying it along with every other Jedi's sabers who died in Jedi Temple in Darth Vader's 2017 comic.
@@ThetaSigma-vu1sk huh? Mas ameda threw yoda’s saber in a fire pit
7:39
Luke : But, I'll try
Yoda : Failed at teaching I have, into further exile I must go.
0:32 Technically, it's not only Disney's way. I think it's actually how George wanted it to be, because in the Clone Wars, the concept of finding colorless crystals and dying them in the course of meditating was introduce. 14:10 I personally like it better, that Luke made his own Lightsaber with his own, personall crystal. I think this fits much better , having his own lightsber that he made completely by himself. This kind of shows that he is a real jedi now at this point. Though I would have liked the connection to Qui-Gon.
It's possible that it is derived from Lucas' perception.
Tcw is filoni not George. I'd George had made it or had any actual control the characters and lore of the prequels and even OT wouldn't have been changed for the show
The whole idea of a bled kyber being shaped to mirror its bleeder is cool. Makes sense that, in order to heal it, you have to confront the source of the crystal's trauma: the dark sider who tortured it. Luke at this point wasn't experienced enough to do that, but Ashoka definitely was, hence her purified crystal sabers.
As for using Qui-gonn's crystal, it wouldn't have worked for the same reason the others didn't work for Luke. It wasn't HIS crystal. He didn't choose it, nor did it choose him.
I don’t totally dislike this… but I always wanted Luke to make a connection with Qui-Gon’s kyber crystal. Since Obi-Wan kept Qui-Gon’s saber, it would’ve been cool if Luke heard it calling to him from Ben’s hut. Luke helped fulfill the prophecy that Qui-Gon devoted so much of his time to understanding. Like George Lucas would say, “it’s like poetry, it rhymes.”
I'm okay with the galaxy not being as tight-knit as a small town in Kansas.
His crystal is still qui-gon’s to me lol…makes it beautifully poetic
That's my head canon as well!
Agreed
I think that the crystal wasn't chosen at random, I think they picked it out for luke because it was calling for him as it would when the jedi used to go and retrieve their crystals from the cave
True, a Force User didn't choose his/her crystal. The crystal chose its user. Like in the Clone Wars series, when a group of 6 younglings went to Illum. Met Yoda, they went each of these caves within the entrance in their separate ways - a separate destiny. And they find their own crystals. But gotta difficulties among themselves till they call on the Force and their crystal chose them. Later in the new episode with Ahsoka as an instructor on a training ship. They built their lightsabers, they reflected them based on their personalities, and then they ignited either blue or green.
I don't know why you think bring the comics to life is silly. I loved it and miss it. Bring the comics to life is my favorite part of your channel
Part of me likes the idea of "bleeding" and "purifying" crystals, but I think Disney are overcomplicating it. Crystals shouldn't be sentient, IMO. That's too much like Harry Potter. They should just be rare and valuable objects that are sensitive to the Force. Pour Dark Side energy into a crystal, and it glows red; pour Light Side energy into it and it glows blue or green, depending on whether you're a "guardian" or a "consular" -- a fighter or a thinker -- at heart.
Obi-Wan was always a thinker, but his saber was always blue
@@timewellspent8137 I think that's debatable. He was always on the front lines in the Clone Wars. He's a thinker compared to Anakin, lol.
And it makes sense that there's some crossover between guardians and consulars. It's probably not an exact science. More of a general guideline.
@@timewellspent8137obi wan was brilliant and a great tactician yeah. I wouldn't say he was a philosopher of the force tho. I'd say the consular role is the philosopher aspect. Where as obi wan would ask "how" qui gon would ask "why". I think that's the main difference and why his saber is blue.
This is overemphasised. It's not too complex, it's sensible as it pertains to the two aspects of the Force. The Living and Cosmic Force, respectfully.
The kyber crystal is in essence just a rudimentary object, with some capacity to feel. Force-sensitivity occurs exclusively within life. Hence, kyber crystals themselves being sensitive to the Force, implies a degree of life. Not completely, however.
nahh the Idea is Bad in the Canon there are only Two Ways to Creat a Kyber crstal one is found Naturally and the Other is Artiffial Created Sith and Luke used Artificial Cyber Cristals
I think the new ideal is interesting but instead of him talking to the blank crystal. I would agree if he took qui-gon crystal then used it to communicate with it for him become accepted by the crystal. Which could of led to luke and qui-gon meeting each other in this force ghost realm. Which I think would make this much more interesting book and sort of must read as well.
This, I agree, that would have been beautiful and a master piece of moment.
I agree!! That would have been amazing to see! Luke and Qui-Gon are two of my favorite Jedi, and they’re very similar. I would’ve loved to see that connection.
My only complaint is they didn't touch on Luke's connection with the green crystal and its significance him in being a Jedi Consular. Otherwise, I actually enjoy the new purification/corruption method of Kyber crystals.
Lightsaber crystals don't work like that in canon. It was purely a video game thing.
Thank you- I was literally about to comment this
@@stevenle9960 Idk. Mace's Kyber crystal represents the balance between light and dark. I get what you're saying but to a degree, crystal relationships are somewhat established.
@@Umbran I always wondered what Luke's official stance in the Force was. Until now, he's never had his own Kyber crystal. I figured he was a counselor but I just wanted an official answer.
@darthrenegade7915 Me too- Those roles in the Jedi from the games- you'd think it'd be something that would make it into canon like
A Jedi's relationship to the force and the Jedi code is important lol it would reveal more about Luke's character if an answer was given
RIP the story of how it’s Qui Gon’s crystal
It will always be the true canon story this is just Disney's fanfiction take on it
20 years ago HOW DARE YOU TO MAKE ANY CONNECTION WITH PREQUEL TRILOGY
now HOW DARE YOU TO MAKE ANY CONNECTION WITH SEQUEL TRILOGY
Nothing changed.
I like how the crystal color can change depending of the Jedi connection with the force, that’s a cool way to show how a force user is strong .
It also explains why Ashoka's lightsabers were blue when Anakin returned them to her in season 7 of the Clone Wars instead of the original green-yellow color.
I still prefer the legend version on how he gained the synthetic crystal turn it green on Tatooine felt more connection to his origin because later on in canon version he got rid his green lightsaber for some dumb reason.
Are you fucking kidding me why
Disneys so corny with the “sentient” crystals thing
Regardless of which story it is, either this comic or the Shadows of the Empire story, I much prefer the idea of Luke creating his own Kyber crystal rather than using Qui-Gon’s. A Jedi’s crystal and the journey to acquiring it is suppose to be personal and unique to said Jedi. Using Qui-Gon’s would be interesting, but would ultimately have that underlying feeling of not truly being Luke’s. I also like this story of Luke seeing Yoda and having this discussion of the force because it fits nicely with what the green color is meant to represent. Someone with a strong connection and mastery of the force.
I gotta say, there's a cool sort of Chekhov's Gun-ish subconscious priming here (if you look at the story linearly with the OG trilogy).
The idea that Yoda tells Luke about the sun not being gone even during the night. And Luke just goes "duh" (impatiently like Anakin would have hahaha) is a cool setup for the exact philosophy he'll come to integrate in order to redeem Anakin.
So I see the Qui Gon option. I've always liked that because Qui Gon deserves some more play (as seen via Tales). But this comic actually sets up 2 of the most fundamental aspects of Luke's character (referring both to his literal character and his ethical character).
1) He is the embodiment of keeping his sights and faith set on the light, even when it's the farthest out of reach it's ever been (seeing Anakin within Vader and Hope within the Rebellion).
2) He didn't go back to Yoda subconsciously because (though he hadn't realized it yet), HE DIDN'T WANT TO LEARN YODA AND OBI WAN'S VERSION OF BEING A JEDI. He didn't want to repeat the Council's Narrative/Paradigm. He wanted to begin to rebuild and recontextualize what the Jedi mean.
Caveat --> This overarching philosophy / motivation ^ make him both truly his own man and also his Father's Son. Not only succeeding in remaining in the Light. But succeeding in undermining the failures of the Jedi Way by reinventing it.
---> Anyway, Ive never actually left a comment before. Hope you guys actually read this. I had a few of these revelations as I typed. So thank you for this platform, thanks for caring without being assholes, and thanks Theory, for doing what you do the way you do it.
Imma be honest, a side quest with a blank kyber as a reward is a little basic. Wish this was more of a solo mission for Luke and maybe included Qui-Gon’s crystal (fan service I know but it could’ve worked in terms of symbolism) but I feel this story could’ve been better.
Don't write off an idea as fan service. They make this shit for us the fans.
@@rsmith627Luke shouldn’t have a lightsaber just passed on to him. It’s just massive fan service for it to be given from Qui-gon.
It’s makes sense for him to earn it through hard work. But of course, Star Wars fans just want fan service and not an actually good story.
@@bigstarwarsfan5714 I mean I’m as thinking of it more as he would’ve started his construction, and use the crystal or qui gon (in this his saber would’ve been either dismantled or broken)
@@bigstarwarsfan5714 again, they literally make it for the fans.
That said, I really enjoyed this comic and like the way they went with it.
@@rsmith627 I apologize if I came off as rude.
Great video Theory. Definitely love these comic breakdowns. I only have one question though: If this one takes place after episode 5, is this force vision world something that Yoda is connecting to while he’s still alive? He isn’t dead yet until episode 6. While I think this is cool, I don’t know how I feel about Disney changing how Luke obtains his green saber. I much more enjoyed the idea that he built it from the remains of Qui-Gon’s.
I think that’s why Obi-Wan was glowing. Luke was communicating with Yoda through the force, with Kenobi watching from the afterlife.
I think he does like an astral projection to dagobah, similar to how he does it in TLJ. Regardless for sure yoda is still alive.
I agree that Luke having found Qui-Gon's lightsaber, would have been so much better, it would literally be a full circle moment...
Daamn facts
i agree even tho this was a cool story
especially with that deleted scene of him fiddling & finishing the assembly of his saber on Tatooine from Jedi
This just made me realize how much I miss your Star Wars comics breakdown videos!
I really love the idea of kyber crystals having feelings, and bonding with their owner
Yeah, I agree here. It's certainly interesting, but I loved the connection to his Master's Master. I wonder what will happen to Jinn's saber crystal in cannon now.
Theory your yoda impression is getting really good
7:09 That picture nearly killed me. 🤣🤣
Yeah Disney try to introduce a new thing forgetting the past entirely.
Imagine if luke had the same but he also had quigons crystal and he'd tried putting it into a saber and it'd not worked at all, and it was even starting to turn yellow on the edges, and the guy could then explain this crystal has been carried through a lot of grief and hasn't had a way to express it - you could flash back to quigons life- with luke perhaps not knowing who he is until he see's a young obiwan and perhaps even a young anakin.
And i think just through flashbacks of obiwan in the desert waiting for luke to get older as he deals with his grief could've been better than the fucking Reva show we got.
This doesn't particularly seem great...
Have Luke forge his own path as a Jedi. Finding his own crystal..
It's simple.
@@AshanBhatoa I don't see the new stuff as "him finding his own crystal"
I see it as "some weirdo and chick handing him a crystal and shoe horning into plot later on" lol
I like him using Quigons at least for a time because the empire has raided most of the lightsaber crystal stores, hunting people who collected them.. this dude wouldn't exist so openly.
Repurposing Quigons crystal but not his saber feels like using the past to build his future, and in a way Quigons crystal guiding luke is what Quigon was unable to do in guiding anakin.
So i'd even lean into that more with Quigon sometimes able to speak to luke, or perhaps pass feelings.
to keep luke in the moment and not worrying about his nephew going dark in which taking his lightsaber to shave his head is his best option.
Yes another canon comic covering. I love when you do these for the new comics. You should do more of these.
Plus, it's a good comic.
@@AshanBhatoa where can I buy these comics?
I think these some of my favorite videos....bringing the comics to life, with voiceovers and your own opinions and everything
I remember from a book I had that talked about Lightsabers and their crystals. In it, the crystal for the saber Like had after Episode Five was synectic, much like what it said about Sith crystals, that they are not nature, but forged.
Also, I understand the guy Luke went to in his comic, as I've already knew crystals can conduct the Force, and there are crystals that can control machines and be Jedi themselves. Luke even recruited them for his new order.
I prefer him having his own crystal than somebody elses, even if it was qui gon
I enjoyed it because this Kyber crystal was more personal to Luke, every Jedi needs their own crystal like every Jedi has their own path to follow. I get how you feel tho. It’s nice to see you cover the comics again. Please do more
This took place after ESB but before ROTJ, Luke literally projected himself through the force to speak with Yoda on Dagobah, who was still alive at this point. Similar to how he did with Kylo Ren years later. It wasn't his imagination. As you see Kenobi's ghost speak to Yoda too.
I'd prefer if it was Qui Gon's crystal too, and assumed it was, but, this is pretty cool also. It shows how powerful Luke was, he was naturally gifted in the ways of the force and this was a great example.
I don't think Theory is caught up with the cronology of the most recent comics to be honest. He skipped a looot of important events.
Some really cool ideas presented in the comic here. You did great on the voices, too, btw! :)
Very nice video, loved it.
I liked what Luke did here. I felt it made the green crystal more part of his own journey than just another hand me down.
Interesting video. I wonder if Luke used Qui Gon's Lightsaber parts to build his own green lightsaber since his lightsaber from Return of the Jedi looks so similar to Qui Gon's lightsaber from The Phantom Menace. Also this comic never says that Luke has the pieces for his own green lightsaber so it's possible that he went back to Tatooine and found Qui Gon's lightsaber and used his pieces to build his own. Excellent video as always theory!
Really do love these video and the comic takes. The voices you do are great remind me of the audible books Thrawn trilogy. Thanks for always giving me a star wars journey I can enjoy.
I missed this type of video so much, I was absolutely hooked on his Vader comic series and still come back to it quite often tbh
Ah yes the crystals are mood rings of course "I'm very angry so my crystal is red and my lightsaber plays slipknot music grrrr 😡"
I prefer the Legends story of the jedi having to quest for a crystal and build a saber. The quest completion was proof that the person was moving forward in the path of a jedi and the resulting color was given much more meaning to the personal journey and character of the jedi.
Yeah, canon having them make their lightsabers from kits as preteens is... odd.
Nice vid. Your comic breakdown vid was engaging while offering your own thoughts in between the panels.
Saludos!
This kind of videos are a great part of the reason I love your channel bro, no one does this comic book presentation/reading like you do, so please do this more often.
Personally I don’t think Disney added that much. The way I understood it was Luke’s was also synthetic before Disney. They didn’t ruin it I’ll give ‘em that. But I’m not gonna act like it’s good
I love the old Star Wars comics from the 70s & 80s. The fact that they are non-canon in a way makes them more enjoyable, just whimsical tales featuring our favorite classic characters. No need to try to reconcile them with all the movies, books, and comics that came later.
I really like that character who collects kyber crystals. He sounds like a genuinely interesting character.
i definitely enjoy these star wars comic vids! they really dive into more of the force, lore, and history of the star wars universe
Yep. Disney does tend to change Star Wars cannon.....a lot!!!
They follow there own canon at all pretty sure they don’t care for it either.
Great videos keep it up😊
The editing in these videos, the voices. This is perfect.
You're awesome at the voices, always have been. It's crazy I've been watching this channel for at least a few years now.
He drunk green milk. And this changed his Crystal...
Hahahahaha yup!
*What if Anakin went to kamino instead of obi wan*
Padme would have immediately been seduced by the negotiator. She wouldn't have been able to resist.
@@williamparcell9197NOOOO WRONG!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Luke Kenobi.
These are amazing bro! The voice overs definitely bring the comics to life 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the kind of old content I’ve been missing! Please do more comic stories!
I think I like this more than him using qui gon’s crystal because it shows how he has become more independent. until that point he had only used his fathers saber and that yellow saber. I think it would be kinda disappointing if he used another jedi’s crystal instead of just forging his own.
To me it seems like the difference between Vader and Lukes vision was their purity. The parts lost to Vader and therefore never were a part of him are still pure hence the blue arms and legs and with luke its the inverse he has felt the pain and suffering of loss as represented through his red hand. Showing that Vader is mostly consumed in the Dark while Luke is mostly consumed in the Light.
Also, your yoda voice is genuinely amazing-
I could watch a million of these theory especially when you're adding your voice acting. Keep these coming! Thanks for all the content over the years dude
I always wonder with synthetic crystals can you purify the crystal like what Ashoka did with hers curious very curious
Because of course they did...
Great to see a comic brought to life, and Theory, your voices are awesome - especially your Yoda!
These are defiantly my favorite videos you make!
So, once again with the "Poetry it rhymes" approach; Vader turned a green crystal red, and Luke did the opposite (or tried to, anyway), and Luke has the same out of body experience that Vader had. Man, Disney uses that symbolism even more often than Lucas did! LoL
I still prefer how Luke got his green lightsaber in Shadows of the Empire; my favorite EU story. It's a shame that Disney has slowly but steadily been wiping all traces of that story out.
Is following the source material too hot to handle Disney?
What source material?
@@achaudhari101 Legends continuity
@@kitkatdealer827 Legends wasn’t even actual Canon like that.
I enjoy these videos a lot. All of the lore I’ve learned, I’ve learned from you. Thank you for continuing to do them.
Im sure this was just an oversight, but this issue came out a few weeks ago. the Volume its from started in 2020. I was excited when I saw this was the subject matter and it felt like old school star wars material. Great Vid as usual, man. Keep filtering out the noise
Of course this is their rework. *sigh*
I hate how lightsaber crystals are basically force mood rings now.
Hahahahaha right! It’s so corny
Exactly. There was nothing wrong with them simply being crystals or any other object that could work inside a lightsaber. Changing how the Crystals work changes everything about the history of lightsabers in Star Wars.
Well go back to your cave because it's not first time everything changed. I am not talking about Disney alone.
I also agree that the green kyber crystal should have come from Qui-Gon Jinn’s Lightsaber, that’s the story I like better. It makes it feel like Luke had to be resourceful with the limited materials he had since there weren’t many Jedi around to teach him properly in the ways of the force.
The voices are silly??? No bro you nail them!! ❤️❤️ They are absolutely immersive! Thank you sooo much for covering all these stories! Have a good one bud
I actually really like this. In Legends throughout his journey Luke sort of just kind of gets hand-me-downs. His first lightsaber is from his father. His second one is made using schematics from Obi-wan and a Sith technique. This lightsaber truly feels like it is Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, and no one else's. It's an issue I've had with most Star Wars media that almost every time you get a lightsaber it doesn't feel like it's your lightsaber, it's just a model of lightsaber that you can customize as you like. And while I find the bleeding lightsaber crystals trying to be a bit edgy, I have to admit Modern Lucasarts is doing a good job of making it feel like whoever owns the lightsaber leaves a significant impact upon it. It's not as simple as just finding the nearest Crystal, putting it in the lightsaber, and then swinging it a couple times. There needs to be a link on a mental and spiritual level or else your quality will suffer.
And because of that, it kind of explains why Jedi are so gungho on losing their lightsaber. It isn't just losing your cool weapon, you are losing a piece of yourself that ties you all the more strongly to the force. It is a loss of something spiritual, and it's why losing your lightsaber it's such a big deal, and why after huge moments of growth some people have to completely reforge their lightsaber. It was a lightsaber for a different person.
The main detail I like about this is the Red crystal refusing Luke's help; she doesn't dislike her circumstance.
LUKE DID WHAT TO HIS BALLS?!

Huh
To*
He cut it off😂😮
I miss seeing these comic videos. It's the whole reason I subscribed. This one was actually quite cool. I like what they did here. Qui-Gon's crystal would've been the easy way out. This is much more interesting.
Some context as to why the Force is receding: recently in the timeline an insanely powerful Sith artifact known as the Fermata Cage was destroyed by the Knights of Ren and it's destruction sent a wave of chaotic Force energy throughout the galaxy. Sometimes the Force is so incredibly strong that those normally weak with it can suddenly move mountains. But sometimes the Force recedes to the point where even the most powerful such as Sidious and Vader have difficulty connecting with it. That's about all I can say without writing a whole essay so for those who want the full story I suggest checking out the Hidden Empire comic
Awesome
tbh I like this version more and I'm a legends junkie.
The only part I really liked was the idea a red crystal doesn't necessarily _dislike_ being red. I hate the idea of Sith being objectively evil always all the time.
@Alizudo huh? Bro the entire franchise is based on the idea of sith being inherently evil. The entire ideology of the dark side is that it is malevolent and cruel and callous its just a fact from both legends and canon perspective hell even outside all expanded books and comics the original trilogy gave that entire perspective. There are no good people using the dark side, vader turning to the light side in return of the jedi emphasized that he was compelled by love for his son to change sides.

And I've always disagreed with that idea.
I still prefer the theory of Luke using Qui-Gon's lightsaber. A poetic/sentimental gesture passing the crystal of the Jedi Master who trained Obi-Wan and now passing on to Luke to feel a connection to Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon through his lightsaber modeled after Obi-Wan Kenobi's.
He force projected to Dagobah. Yoda was still alive at this point in the timeline. It was the same for the throne room in the red crystal.
SMH….this is why there’s no reason to be EXCITED about any of Disney’s StarWars projects…they’ve been changing things from the very beginning..
Ugh. I'd rather just go back to the Expanded Universe when it comes to obtaining lightsaber crystals...
I don’t especially with the Sith Crystals.

I hated the "bleeding" idea because it's too over-the-top cartoonishly evil "cus im eviil lol".
But the idea that the crystal is alive and doesn't necessarily dislike being red makes me like it a bit more. I still wish synthetic crystals were an option, though.
@@Alizudo Exactly
Awesome video. The voice-over work added to the immersion. But I find it hard to believe that Obi-Wan would have Qui-Gon's crystal with him at the end of Revenge of the Sith. This would mean that he would have had to either bring it with him to his Utapau mission or retrieved it from the Jedi Temple after Order 66.
This is a change that has been made that has improved the lore. The color of the crystal is about the user’s relationship to the Force.
Luke’s crystal was green because he was already attuned to the Force in a way that many of the Clone Wars era Jedi were not. Even if he didn’t quite understand it intellectually yet.
It’s why Obi-wan was concerned, but Yoda was not.
The choice is between Light and Dark. But when given a neutral crystal and left to his own, he chose Light…and connected with the Force in a way his father was never able to.
Which is why Yoda was reassured. Although Luke was superficially like his father, when you dig deeper you find his mother. That huge well of compassion.
It’s a chance to see why Anakin was able to be turned…but Luke was not. Why he was able to pull his father back to the Light when no one else was able to.
Luke receiving his crystal from Yoda or Quigon was so much cooler. These comics are so stupid. They are just making shit up to fix lore when they don't need to.
🤡
He needs to earn it instead of just someone giving it to him.
...NNNNNNOOOOOOO
Tbh I kinda prefer Luke making his own lightsaber and getting his own crystal. I get the sentimentality of something passed down but I think the idea of Luke’s lightsaber being truly his, something he earned like a farmer making bread from wheat he grew, is something much more satisfying.
I actually really like the stuff in this comic… The fact that Luke was able to visit something that I thought only vader could is very impressive, and essentially every Jedi Khyber crystal is a random crystal that is found, Luke was able to connect with the Crystal, and reconnected with the force, which better prepared him for a fight with Vader
His gender is next. Watch out folks.
Oh shut up.
That happened in 2015 with Rey 😂
So an sjw with green hair tells Luke to make his lightsaber green because shes a woman and better than him.
Reaching…
Literally not what happened in the comic.
You reek of being chronically online dude. Go outside dude lol.
That’s ignorant answer because I wanna be edgy and missing the point 😂
You just grew a new row of knuckles trying to reach that hard
The kyber crystal being alive kind of reminds me of the custom crystal from Kotor 2 you get from the Dantooine cave
That is a fucking amazing Yoda impression.
