Episode 083 - Lightsaber Colors: Sources and Symbolism

November 03, 2024 • Connor and Alex • Season 3 • Episode 31

This episode delves into another aspect of the most iconic weapon in Star Wars by exploring the history, variety, and symbolism of this hallmark of the Jedi and Sith alike. We explore the various color of canonical lightsabers, from traditional blue, green, and red to the more exotic black, white, orange, purple, and yellow. Along the way, we discuss the first depiction of each lightsaber color and what the hue may mean from a symbolic context for the individual wielding that saber.
