problems with people who think Luke had a green lightsaber all along.

hectorberlioz · 09-15-2005, 08:24 PM

Once upon a time, me and this othe person started talking about Star Wars.
The subject of lightsabers came up, and I was saying something about Luke's first lightsaber belonging to Anakin.
Then he revealed to me that he thought Luke only had ONE lightsaber in the trilogy. I told him no, that Luke had made the second one (or acquired), because he lost his blue one in cloud city. This person dared to challenge me!
"No Luke only has one lightsaber in the movies, the green one."
"No, Luke's first one is blue, and he lost it".
End of that reminscence...but behold!

During a game of Star Wars trivia, the question of the color of Luke's Lightsaber in ANH came up. "Green". Again!

Now I can see how its possible to confuse all of Anakin's Lightsabers in Eps. II, III, but Luke's?

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

rohirrim TR · 09-16-2005, 09:45 AM

well you see the problem is that in A new hope it is green(well more turqouise than green but i digress

), in empire it is blue and then in rotj it is green because he made one. i don't know why it is turqouise in a new hope i had a theory that the lightsaber was was turned down to a less powerful setting(obi wan didn't want luke to hurt himself)

and that caused a weird turqouise color

rohirrim TR · 09-16-2005, 09:47 AM

the real problem we will all agree is that the best color of lightsaber is red (though purple is very nice as well)

hectorberlioz · 09-16-2005, 02:22 PM

No, no. It's called "old movie effects". When the lightsaber colors were dimmer.
And turqoise is still blue. It seemed prefectsly blue to me on dagobah, and elsewhere.

Dagobah was in ep 5 so it was definetely blue then, only in ep 4 was it the weird turquiose color (IMO it makes sense the the power setting would be lower especially when he is on the falcon practicing i mean you would want to absorb the little bolts you wouldnt want them being deflected everywhere

) the old movie effects is the real reason, but when your arguing with a fake fan who thinks that his lightsaber was green you can use my explanation to explain their confusion.

Quite.

..and you're right about the lightsaber in Ep iv absorbing the shots...I never paid attention to that before...

In A New Hope, Luke was given a Blue lightsaber that once belonged to Anakin. (If you don't think its blue watch episode 3) When His hand is cut off in The Empire Strikes Back, lukes saber goes with it. He then goes to Obi-Wan's hut on Tatooine and constructs a new lightsaber with the instructions in Obi-Wan's hut. This one was Green. If you think that his original saber looked greenish it was because of the bad film that Lucas had to use in 1977. Watch Episode 3 and you'll see its Blue.

Elanor · 09-20-2005, 12:03 AM

I agree that the Ep4 lightsaber was completely blue. Whoever thought it was green either had a very bad tape or is color blind. But I'm sure they're nice people anyway.

I don't have any problem sitinguishing lightsabers...I've been trying to tell people exactly what you said above...they're tto stubborn.

But you're just trying ot help

Acalewia · 09-26-2005, 07:54 PM

I always remembered it as blue. I don't remember it ever being green.

Curubethion · 09-26-2005, 08:06 PM

It was green at the end, when he fought Vader...also in Dagobah swamp, I think.

You're right. I've been a Star Wars fan practically all my life and I can assure you Luke Skywalker used two different lightsabers in the trilogy. I'm not sure about anything after that, as I rarely pay attention to the Expanded Universe, but I am positive about the Original Trilogy. As you said, his first lightsaber was originally Anakin's (blue), and was given to Luke by Obi-Wan. He later lost it, along with the corresponding appendage, to Darth Vader in the reactor shaft of Cloud City.

Curubethion, Luke visits Dagobah twice in the OT. During the first visit (The Empire Strikes Back) he has the blue lightsaber; in the second (Return of the Jedi), the green one. Luke built the green lightsaber himself, in accordance with millennia generations of Jedi tradition.

The best is not red. The best is orange, or yellow. Orange is way cool...
