- Why is Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber actually forbidden and illegal?
See, when Luke lost his first lightsaber in The Empire Strikes Back, he needed to build a new one immediately!
But Kyber Crystals were really hard to come by and since the planet Illum was emptied by the Empire in 18 BBY, Luke didn’t have a direct source to get a Kyber crystal from.
So he did what he had to do and used an ancient Sith technique that used the Force and a Blast Furnace to make a Synthetic Crystal!
Now this method was heavily frowned upon by the Jedi Order and was considered illegal to do!
But screw the Jedi Order!
Luke was all on his own at this time and could do whatever he wanted to!
And in the process of making his crystal, Luke was super nervous cuz he was opening himself to the methods of the Sith.
But even though his crystal wasn’t 100% attuned in the lightside of the Force, he was still successful in fully creating it and used it in his green lightsaber!
Luke making a black market modded lightsaber to defeat the Empire makes him even cooler.

That must be the 100th version of "how did Luke build his light saber?"
And none of them are canon lol
I just stick with the original version
Did it in Obi-Wans house with instructions left behind.
Who was gonna stop him ?
The jedi order ?
Last time i saw they were barbecued
I can imagine all the force ghosts surrounding him in disgust only for Luke to say the hell are you lot gonna do you're dead you can't exactly stop me
You're mistaken, Anakin wasn't in the Jedi order anymore when that happened to him.

Luke’s saber being synthetic is legends material ever since the Disney acquisition. Synthetic crystals don’t even exist in the Disney canon anymore
Since Expanded Universe was uncanonized. Disney brought several things of legends back to canon like Revan, Infinite Rakata Empire ( in Star Wars Rebels)
who cares. disney canon sucks. i love andor but everything else disney has contributed to the star wars universe is unnecessary at best.
@@BlueBlahajProjectbuzz off, man. He had to do it the normal way like everybody else. Which is honestly a much more preferable option. The idea of a kyber crystal being drawn to you due to the force is way better then just making a synthetic one.
@@whateverwhatever4476how is this related to my comment lol
@@BlueBlahajProject no disagreements there, I prefer legends to canon any day of the week
My head canon was that he got it from obi wans hut on tattooine after returning (theres a deleted scene of him building it before going to jabbas palace) and that it was actually qui gons old saber or just the crystal that kenobi kept over the years as a memento of his old master
For me that's the canon also! Finally found someone in the comments who think like me!
At least someone said it 😂
Exactly
I love the thought of Luke just shaking his own hand and talking to himself to allow the rule
"Hey Entire Jedi Council should we allow this technique to create a crystal"
"Why yes of course Luke"
"This is forbidden by the law"
"I *AM* the *LAW* "

Fact that when Luke was fighting with Vader, he was using Vader's (Anakin's) lightsaber and Vader made him lose that, same as his arm.
That light saber was cursed
“The council forbids it”
Luke: what council?
Given how the Empire all but wiped out the Jedi, destroyed the Jedi Order, and strip-mined Illum to an empty husk, any solution was better than no solution for Luke, especially since he cannot go into a battle without a weapon.
Knowledge is either good or evil depending on the hands that wield and use it, for good or ill. There's a reason the Jedi failed to achieve true balance in the force and the fear of knowledge that they were not willing to understand was one of them.
Only in Disney Wars...
Exactly! With the Jedi order wiped out he could follow the force in his own way. And with Yoda near death he couldn't do anything about it. He used the light and knowledge of the dark to be a master jedi!
Mah bro strip mined the planet like minecraft
The Jedi fell because they became tools of galactic politics. They were generally right to reject teachings of the dark side their problem was they believed far too much in systems of political power.

Ya know, that kinda helps the narrative that he almost fell to the darkness.
I mean it's not necessary unlike Project Necromancer because "Somehow Palpatine returned"
In Legends continuity, synthetic crystals did not have such a stigma in the Jedi Order, it's just that natural crystals were preferred. Luke even used a guide and tools Obi-Wan left for him. Synthetic crystals are preferred by Dark Side users because they can feed their hatred and Dark Side energies into the crystal to make it potentially more powerful and give it a rare chance to short out the blades of other lightsabers in combat. A synthetic crystal does not do this otherwise
And let's be honest his cloths are kind of sith vibes too which is even more bad ass.
Also his monolouge to Jabba was the same...
they made his clothes black to make people think that he could be turned to the dark side, but after emperor palpatine was defeated you can see a flap of white on his clothes to show that he is in fact on the good side
could have been Return of the Je'daii
Like his father before him

*Kyber crystals are just one of many types of crystals that are used to optionally enhance a lightsaber, so Luke wouldn't necessarily need one.*
*Kyber crystals are not used to power lightsabers.*
Don't believe the video, it's clickbait crap. The Jedi never forbade this technique, nor was it made illegal by anyone but the Empire. It was OBI-WAN's own journals that taught Luke how to do this, because the Jedi were fine with it. They just preferred to use natural crystals for philosophical reasons.
Yes, the secret deleted scene where three or four force ghosts tell Luke that he can't fight the empire because he is under arrest for violating one of their rules.
Damn right! He did what he had to given the circumstances. And creating a light side colored crystal with a sith technique actually seems pretty in line with his character.
"Frowned upon by the council" everyone was dead xD
"I see you have constructed a new light saber. Your skills are complete! Indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has foreseen."
This line makes 0 sense in Canon
@@novadestry In canon it makes perfect sense. Jedi get their crystal by passing a test presented to them by the force itself, as we see in both The Clones Wars and Rebels. For him to have constructed a new Light Saber, he had to complete is training.
@@VirtueCryall Jedi had to make their own upon reaching knighthood I think
@VirtueCry Sidious destroyed the Sabers of the fallen Jedi and the known Kyber crystals, so new light sabers can't be constructed.
@@rickeyb8812 He did construct a new light saber, though. Legends says he created a synthetic crystal like the Sith did back in Legends, but that's no longer canon.
Actually, he went to Obi-Wan's home on Tatooine and found a journal containing information on how to build a lightsaber. He also found focusing crystals.
yes but not the kyber crystal, he whent to Christophsis because the force told him to go there, he then tried to purify a red kyber but failed but he then imprinted and bonded with a virgin kyber crystal and used that to build his lightsaber
He didn't find focusing crystals, he found the machines necessary to manufacture a synthetic crystal, because the video's whole premise is a lie. The Jedi were fine with people making these. Obi-Wan had set the whole thing up to help Luke do exactly what he did.
@@fangslore9988is this what passes for canon now? 😅😅
@@PMMcIntyre appears so, but it also is a way to explain why Luke's saber was green since they removed synthetic kyber from canon way before Disney took over. Luke basically dedicated himself to the force and trusted it to help him rebuild the jedi
This is Legends.
“Screw the jedi order!” Sounds like an Anakin attitude more than a luke lmao
The thing about Luke is that he is more like the OG Jedi, he has a balance of both light and dark instead of choosing a side he uses both. He doesnt allow his emotions to over take him but he doesnt try to rid himself of them either, the biggest mistake the newer Jedi Order made.
Original Trilogy Luke: "Forget the Jedi Order. I'm going drag my old man back to the light side of the Force. Nothing is illegal when there's no one to enforce it. 🗿"
New Trilogy Luke: "The Sacred Texts!!! 😰"
As much as I dislike the new trilogy to be fair there is a difference between using sith methods to make a lightsaber and destroying the Jedi's ancient lessons. It's like if a soldier used enemy weapons vs if that same soldier was watching his country's or people's history be destroyed
@Teaseal8 The biggest regret is that they didn't keep Luke from how he should've been from the EU or Legends. Knowing the Jedi the only thing truly sacred should've been from their predecessors or the teachings from Qui Gon to serve the will of the force than to enforce it or challenge it as the Council did. If the texts were able to hold what the Jedi were and should've been, it's a loss but not too much of one.
@@Omnipotentkami that's fair

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana
Preserving the ancient texts is important so as to learn from and not repeat the mistakes that led to the Jedi Order's downfall.
It goes to show that even the most evil technique can be used for good.
What's evil about that technique?
It's forbidden by the Jedi, sure. All sorts of things are forbidden by the Jedi, some but not nearly all of which were actually evil.
Honestly this is one of the fun triva that I knew before and it makes ROTJ Luke even cooler in my opinion.
Not to mention that he got the instructions from Obi Wan or Old Ben's Journals he had salvaged from his hut on Tattoeine where Luke actually came into brief contact with Boba Fett.
Although it was forbidden, I think that Yoda and the other Jedi would've approved of his method as the galaxy pretty much was bare for kyber crystals that weren't Empire vaulted.
This is why i like Luke so much. He did what anakin couldnt. Use the dark side and light side and still hold balance in the force

Tattooine was one of the limited number of worlds that produced kyber crystals. That's why Luke was on Tattooine, crafting his new lightsaber in the deleted scene of ROTJ. The krayt dragons of Tattooine formed the large pearls as we saw in the second season of The Mandalorian. Well, those pearls were often formed around kyber crystals that the dragons would ingest as they tunneled through the ground. And that's now in legends. Canonically, Luke went to Obi Wan's desert hut and found the box containing the kyber crystal from Qui gon Jinn's lightsaber which Obi Wan held onto after his death at the hands of Darth Maul on Naboo. And that's why he had a green saber instead of blue.
A restrained good Jedi mastering the arts of the Sith would be a cool new story to write for a future series.
That's actually Luke: he used both sides. He saw the Force as a tool, and so long as he didn't give into the negative emotions of the Dark Side, he was able to use it without succumbing to it.
Luke is the literal embodiment of all that is good he could use any dark side technique and he’d still be the greatest and truest Jedi
According to the novels, he struggled with the Dark side... which is why he took off for a few years
I figured it was green because they needed to film outdoors during the day, and the way they did the blue lightsabers wouldn't work.
It was. The colour was changed from blue to green in post.
I thought it was because after losing his, he just used Yoda's lightsaber.
@@squeebosh8525Last I checked, his lightsaber was small, but that's just me 😐
Wrong way to use healing xD
Indeed. The blue saber did not show well against the blue sky in the Tatooine scenes, so as mainstreetsaint noted, Lucas said, "eh, make it green." Luke's saber is still blue on my RotJ movie poster.
Originally, all lightsabers were supposed to be blue. They made Vader's red just in case the audience had trouble figuring out who the bad guy was. Two different lightsaber colors also helped make clear who was doing what during a fight, (kind if like how when there is more than one saber on screen at a time, they will have different ignition sounds). I suspect that's why Obi-wan and Qui-gon had different colors too.
If this has been in the movie, it would have only added to the tension of whether he might flip to the dark side.
According to one of those books that was written before Disney decided the expanded universe did not exist. I think it’s shadows of the Empire. It was set between Empire strikes back & return of the Jedi, Luke used a Kyber crystal that he found at Obi-Wan’s hut.
I always thought that he used Yoda's or Qui-Gon's crystal growing up
i thought i was tweaking thinking the same
Yeah, I definitely remember seeing content that explained that it was Qui-gon's green crystal; I believe in some of the comics or literature there was an explanation that Obi-wan carried his master's lightsaber for a while after the events of TPM whilst building his second lightsaber and that he kept it as a memento, possibly even including some of the parts in his third and final one, with this being the source of the green crystal for Luke. Also, his experience having lost two lightsabers in combat I believe was the reason given for why he kept enough of a stockpile of parts to completely build a whole new one if need be, explaining why Luke found literally an entire saber's worth of parts in Obi-wan's hut.
There have been so many retcons, I can't even keep track of what is lore any longer. The original lore is pretty boring: he made a new crystal using tools and instructions he found at Ben's hut.
Not in the original books. He used a portable hand-held furnace to create one. This video is not completely accurate.
no in canon he was gifted a virgin kyber (an unbonded crystal) from a black-market kyber merchant he tried to purify a red kyber first and was pulled into a vision where he saw sith from the darth bane line of sithlords who taught the line that proceeded Darth Bane himself then he was given a new kyber that was a virgin crystal and bonded to that when Yoda force projected himself to teach Luke a valuable lesson and it became green because Luke wanted to dedicate himself to understanding the force
His green lightsaber just hits differently when you see it, it just looks so badass, this just adds another layer that makes sense
It was the first one we ever got to see right? Don't think anywhere else in the first 3 movies as they were was there a green one anywhere else before ROTJ came out, of course its not the first canonically or anything, but its still super cool that Luke's green was the first to grace the big screen
Its really cool how each Jedi must build his own lightsaber. I build weapons as a hobby and it really does bring you closer to them. I'm never so skilled as when I'm wielding a blade I made myself.
The Luke from the extended universe was super cool because he started to understand that the dark side of the force wasn't exclusively for the Sith. The force was made of both sides of the force and, while the dark side was dangerous, it could be used for good.
I always had the head cannon that he was using Qiu-Gon Jinn's kyber crystal. Because i believe Obi-Wan had it even so many years later in the events of a new hope, and since his home was left abandoned. Luke used it to replace his own lightsaber before saving Han Solo and company from Jabba's place. But that doesn't work with the like 5-year gap between the Empire strikes back and the Return of the jedi. But then again, it's just my head cannon lol.
I'm not here to tell you what you want to believe but qui gons lightsaber was burned along with it's owner like all other dead Jedi's were including qui gon.
@alexandervazquez7770 Yeah, I don't know all the lore. But Anikin's lightsaber was kept by Obi-Wan while Anikin was burned. So i just thought it was kept by Obi-Wan. Either way, there's still things I need to learn about the lore, I guess. Also, wasn't there a comic and a statute of Obi-Wan based on an artwork of mythos Obi-Wan where he had the lightsaber as well as Anikins and his ep3 lightsaber?
Same here. If I remember correctly, Luke saw a diagram of Obi-Wan's lightsaber, made it, rummaged around Obi-Wan's but or something, found Qui-Gon's crystal, placed it in, and claimed it as his own.
The technical reason why it's green is because the blue couldn't be seen in front of the blue sky.
@@deathablack-hole1138 obi wan took Anakins lightsaber as a way to preserve and show respect for the friend he once had before Anakin was corrupted by the Sith; as Anakin burned for a different reason on mustifar than most Jedi.
@alexandervazquez7770 Well, it's not explicitly said in the movies that is why he did it. Also, Qiu-Gon is burned without his lightsaber in the movie. But Obi-Wan's lightsaber is never seen again in the phantom menace. So that's not a very good example to bring up from the movies. But also, like I said, I'm not familiar with all the lore. I'm just going off the movies and the novelization, at least what little I remember. Also, isn't Qiu-Gon's lightsaber in Kenobi? I thought we saw it buried with the rest? It's been a minute since I watched Kenobi. Either way, I like Star Wars lore and learning about it, like I'm reading the Empire handbook or whatever it's called.
Now THIS really blew my mind! I've been closely following Star Wars lore for around 10 years and I didn't know about this. I think it's pretty badass how Luke was able to tether betwen the Light Side and the Dark Side of The Force using a forbidden Dark Side technique to build his lightsaber and still managed to stay in the Light Side in the end. I guess it's like the old saying goes, "desperate times call for desperate measures".
All that plus a fitting replacement for the Youngling Slayer 9000.

@@Shift_Salt its all Bob igor's fault, if he wasn't the way he was and ruining Disney maybe we could have some good star wars content
And he kept it for the rest of his days. He actually found the instructions on how to make the crystal from the notes left by Kenobi. Kenobi taught Luke to open his mind to the force and by doing so helped him to construct his own personal lightsaber.
His method was forbidden in a time where natural crystal were available and when there was an entire jedi order to teach and guide jedi. Desperate time sometime require desperate solutions. The fact he had to resolve to use sith techniques in order to defeat the dark side make his entire story so much better
Technically shouldn't have not been illegal because the Jedi order did not exist? I am just asking
For real. Who's around to enforce said policy?
It was illegal by the Empire, given it was ran by the Sith and all.
@East_Coast_Toasty_Boy No, it said it was illegal by the Jedi Order as it used Sith techniques to make a synthetic crystal. Hence, no Jedi Order, no longer illegal.
@@East_Coast_Toasty_BoyAnd blowing up the Death Star was perfectly legal, right? After that I guess it no longer mattered, did it?
@@paulnicholson5997 True, but I wouldn't be surprised if Palpatine also made it illegal, since the Jedi are his enemies and all.
I love that this is one of those relics of a time when they were still considering the concept of a grey Jedi who recognizes that the dark side is just another aspect of the Force, rather than pure evil
Pre-disney Luke was peak
This is not pre-Disney lore. The pre-Disney lore was that he used Qui-Gon's old crystal that Ben had left for him. This crap you just agreed with is the new Disney lore, apparently.
It worked so much better that way too. It creates the idea of a Yin Yang balance and the idea that Anakin brought balance to the force by destroying the Jedi and Sith, leaving more balanced force users to start again from scratch. At the end of the prequels it is balanced with two jedi and two sith, then at the end of the original all the sith and all the Jedi are dead, apart from Luke, who has found a balance between the dark and light sides of the force. It makes a much better narrative..
the green saber was the coolest looking one by far. i also love the color green in general
It makes sense since Luke was already falling to the Dark Side after his duel with Vader. That's why you see him using force command, force choke, and issuing all manner of death threats in Jabba's palace. Yoda saw it, Palpatine saw it, even Luke saw it in his vision on Dagobah.
Synthetic crystals are more stronger in "output" energy, maybe more dense and less stable.
Luckily Luke didn’t take the last crystal from Illum away from Cal
Uhhhh this was WAY after cal
The crystals were mined out at Luke’s time and there was one crystal forgotten and Luke didn’t take it and in the future Cal got it and Luke and Cal were in the same time

I remember reading Shadows of the Empire and thinking how cool is Luke because he really made himself all the way.
If that's legends and not current cannon, there's the possibility that the crystal was Quigons. A few years back they released an Obi-Wan statue of him in the wilderness and he had Quigons lightsaber on him.
Most likely not, the current canon has a comic line running at the moment where he finds the green crystal on Christophsis. He also tries to heal a red kyber crystal.
Correction: it is definitely not Qui-Gon's kyber crystal. Not to spoil too much but the explanation is way better than just having Luke once again just using preused stuff from some other prominent character.

See, this style of storytelling would get more fans, including myself. I never knew the lore of the green, purple, and red sabers. I learned this today after all these years. Why hasn't this been explained more? It makes it have even more dimensions to the already unique Star Wars universe for the average person.

So the lightsaber isn’t forbidden, just the method he used to create the crystal
Not just the method he used to create the crystal as that has an affect on the crystal once created, so the newly created crystal itself is forbidden. So if the crystal inside a lightsaber is forbidden then said lightsaber itself is forbidden.
Don't believe the video, it's clickbait crap. The Jedi never forbade this technique, nor was it made illegal by anyone but the Empire. It was OBI-WAN's own journals that taught Luke how to do this, because the Jedi were fine with it. They just preferred to use natural crystals for philosophical reasons.
Because of his exposure to Vader and the dark side of the force, he naturally learned SOME "dark side" abilities. He understood aspects of it, but he NEVER gave into it. He never became a Grey Jedi, he was always a light side wielder, who just happened to know so dark side tools, but only wanted to rely on them as an absolute LAST RESORT.
I love the idea of the sith making their own synthetic crystals instead of the Disney cannon version now. It was just way cooler in my humble opinion
This is probably the reason Darth Vader comments on his new lightsaber, he was trying to convince him of how close to the dark side he was.
Even if Vader didn't know how he did it, constructing it would have shown how sophisticated Luke had become, being a more powerful potential new Sith.
But if the reason was a galactic shortage of kybur crystals, Vader would have been informed of that fact and deduced that Luke did something unusual to construct that lightsaber.

Luke became the balance in the force that he needed to be. He wasn't fully enveloped by the light that it blinded him the way it did the jedi but he also wasn't consumed by darkness like the sith. Luke was the balance the jedi needed but failed to understand.

Synthetic Crystals were said to be more powerful, but more unstable aswell.
Luke making one was an echo of his father, Vader's lightsaber crystal was also synthetic
For anyone wondering how Luke got his green kyber crystal in canon there is currently a comic line running answering that.
Btw I kind of find all these shared fantasies of Luke using Qui-Gon's crystal pretty uncreative and boring as Luke is an own character deserving an own kyber crystal imo as he already used a preused lightsaber and therefor a preused kyber crystal. And not to spoil too much, I think the way Luke got his crystal in canon in these comics is far better than just taking one from some other prominent character.
Agreed, I don't really care what current canon is honestly this is the explanation I'll go with just for Return of the Jedi.
I like the idea of Luke making a synthetic crystal. Just because a technique was made by bad people, doesn't mean you can't use it for good reason.
This was in legends. In Canon he used Qui Gon Jinn’s lightsaber crystal because Obi Wan had actually kept his master’s lightsaber with him.
Honestly, it makes sense lore wise that Luke would have to use sith techniques to make a weapon for good. As in the Yin Yang symbol, the black and white sides have a small dot of the opposite color inside.
This is actually an excellent addition to lore that elevates his arc in episode 6
Immensely

It was OBI-WAN's own journals that taught Luke how to do this, because the Jedi were fine with it. They just preferred to use natural crystals for philosophical reasons.
If something is frowned upon by the Jedi Council, it was probably a good thing to do.
This is why I think luke was the first true "Modern grey jedi" as he utilised bith the light and the dark. He couldnt have beat vader without giving into his anger but it was in restraint of his anger that keeps him balanced with the light. He killed jabba's gaurds he's clearly not a normal jedi.
I've heard a dozen different stories as to where Luke got his crystal now.
Originally there was a side quest between "hope" and "empire" where Luke and Leia visited a mist planet for a random crystal and Luke fought Vader there and cut off his arm. (this was written by Lucas himself before kaiber crystals were even a thing)
I've also seen a book where Luke got his crystal from Obi-wan's hut on tatooine.
Wait but didn’t The Empire starting mining Ilum when Cal Kestis went there to get a new crystal?
Yeah, Luke had to go to another planet that was selling them on the black market to find some
So, your saying Luke went and did business with a DEALER! 😮

Probably need 2 crystals. I think it would be really hard to focus the light energy through one crystal from 2 different directions, to two other directions. If you mean the blades make an X shape, then that would be impossible as they would collide and cancel each other out. Or one would continue and the other one stopped midway. Unless one is angled down to where they don't touch.
I hope this is the answer you're looking for. Have a good one!
I am very confused about what you're trying to ask...
@DGneoseeker1 look, you have 2 light sabers, and you wanna see what will happen if you decide to do X shape, u point them, and turn them on, they will collide like in combat, or they will fuse at collision point
Now, I guess it is better to understand

@@Anemo-RLY Hmm. I'd assume they would repel each other since they'd each have a forcefield forming at the same time... The blade itself wouldn't affect anything.
at this point everything is forbidden by the jedi, they deserve order 66
Before all this new stuff started with the kyber crystals and other things in the old books you could actually use other crystals to focus to make lightsabers it didn't have to be a kyber crystal.
The fact Luke was able to kick vader so far is actually kind of underrated
I wish that he found Qui-gon's lightsaber and used the kyber crystal from his lightsaber. It's way better than just making the kyber crystal using the force. Tell me I'm wrong.
Imo you are wrong as I find the currently running canon comic line explaining how Luke got his kyber crystal more interesting. Luke as such a big character deserves his own kyber crystal as he already used a preused lightsaber.
I@@imperialesoberkommandoactually I find that it would be poetic that he used Qui Gon's lightsaber. He would use the weapon of the man solely responsible for his father's admission in the Jedi order,the jedi that eventually would also destroy the Order leading to the rise of the Empire. I wonder what Vader would think if he knew that when he fought his son Luke,he fought against Qui Gon's lightsaber
@@niccologregorutti9309 You do not need to wonder, just remember how Vader reacted to being confronted by Ahsoka, the very one he probably used to care for even more than Qui-Gon and not only recognized the arrogance of the Jedi but actually acted upon it the light side way by just leaving them. Vader did not care in the end. But Vader cared about Luke. Not because Luke carried on the philosophy of Ahsoka, Qui-Gon or whoever Anakin used to care for (one exception though), but solely because Luke is his very own son with that one mentioned exception - Padmé. And that furthermore adds to why Luke needs his own lightsaber with his very own kyber crystal imo.
Also in the extended canon material (already with hints in TCW) establishes that getting one's own kyber crystal is a significant step in a Jedi's path. The seeker finds a raw colorless kyber crystal and has to tame it through the force, giving it its color. This is of course something made up outside the movies, but I personally like this concept and it adds to Luke's journey in becoming a true Jedi.
@@imperialesoberkommando yeah I never expected Vader to turn to the light just because of this, however I recall that even years after his death Anakin was very attached to him and remembered him fondly. I think there is one single episode that links Vader with Qui Gon,when the first hears the voice of the force ghost of the latter. So would Anakin be in the right state of mind to fight Luke after knowing the origin of his lightsaber (origin that is dismissed by the canon but still, it's hypothetical)
@@niccologregorutti9309 One thing I forgot, the canon explanation (and even the legends one) even adds to Vader complimenting Luke for having built his own lightsaber and acknowledging how powerful Luke has become.
I love how Luke is so much more of a grey Jedi. He does everything for the good of others, and that will always be true, no matter the side.
Dude this is 10000x more interesting than what Disney is doing with star wars
The Grey Knights "AM I A JOKE"? 😂
In the Novel ... Heir to Jedi .. Luke is given a lightsaber of an jedi who died back during the clone wars .. he did take it apart to learn how they work...he could've easily took the crystals
"Force power is neither good nor evil, it's how you use it"- Kyle Katarn (Jedi Knight Jedi Academy)
At that moment Luke WAS the Jedi Council.
In a deleted Return of the Jedi scene we see Luke fixing his green lightsaber before going to Jaba the hut palace
At that time, Luke was the entire Jedi
It’s a lot like, instead of getting an authentic katana, he got it from a mentalist that used a mixture of metals which make it stronger and better. But it’s not purely one mineral.
In Legends, Luke used instructions from Obi-Wans hut to construct a synthetic, green crystal. In canon, however, synthetic crystals don't exist. So, either Luke found his own crystal, or he recycled one. A lot of fans believe that Luke found Qui-Gon's lightsaber and used his crystal.
According to Legends , it’s because he used an artificially made crystal . This is how the Sith made their crystals and , like in Cannon , they poured their hate for the Jedi in to them turning the crystals red ( because they thought the naturally occurring Jedi crystals were inferior ) .
Well the only way luke would’ve known to do this is if another Jedi had told him through the force, so it is technically the Jedi going against their own ways by telling Luke how to do this , which is pretty cool and good on them considering how uptight they were before
Like father, like son. Both used synthetic crystals. If I remember correctly, synthetic crystals were actually stronger and ended up as either red or green.
I didn't know this about Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber, I only knew he needed to craft a new lightsaber, & it looked pretty cool.
It's green because blue light sabers dont show up well on film when the backdrop is clear blue skies. Everything else was made up afterwards. 😮💨
Luke baked the crystal in the furnace in Obi-Wan's home on Tatooine. The scene is portrayed at the beginning of the Shadows of the Empire novel
Luke: there's no rules anymore, I make my own now
This makes sense because he came in contact with Sith power and utilized some of it to build his saber, you can see this power increased his warrior strength quite a bit as he was able to overtake Vader now!
I'm pretty sure he made the new lightsaber with parts from Obi Wan's place on tatooine, and it's heavily implied that it was actually Qui Gon Jinn's green crystal
I always liked that one storyline where Luke actually got his green Kyber Crystal from Qui Gon’s saber that was hidden in Obi Wan’s hut
