i wonder what the dark green saber color is gonna?

Featured Replies

i think i might look kinda like a pine tree green that would be kinda diffrent

I hope that we get more colors than just a dark or light version of the same ones in KOTOR. I know about silver etc. And Atton with his pink. :("

I read something about a black lightsaber. Was that ever confirmed?

I think that was a myth for KOTOR. Although maybe we will get a black lightsaber for KOTOR 2. A black lightsaber and red robes would be cool.

Man, i really looked forward to seeing a black one... :(

Blacklightsaner???

 

Sounds funny :p

maybe a blacksaber or darksaber????

And by the light of the moon

No, you could really get it in the pc version I think. It was a mod or whatever they're called.

They said that the dark green is so dark, that it is black. I hope it is black. But I heard that there can't be a black saber, because it is the absence of light.

Exactly. It'd defeat the purpose of having a 'light'saber.

That depends on why you think it's called a lightsaber...

 

It either means...

 

1) Lightsabers light up and area, therefore "light"sabers

 

or...

 

2) All of the weight of a lightsaber is in the hilt, thus making it not a heavy but a "light"saber.

 

As far as I can tell nobody knows for sure, everybody assumes 1 though.

I would go for a sword that emitts light.

And by the light of the moon

I would say it's #2... because they are light weight.... and they don't emit light, because you can't slice someone in half with a flashlight.

They would call them weightlesssaber then!

looks to the same colour too me :devil:

George Lucas originally planned the lightsaber to weigh 50 or so pounds because it was suposed to be pure energy so he said it would weigh alot but he later got rid of this idea...

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

dude, energy weighs nothing, litterally all it is is ions and stuff. Maybe there is a black lightsaber with a red hue, with and extremely dark red core, cuz the red ones are artificial crystals-at least they are supposed to be

Actually Energy does have a weight, it just happens to be so small that we don't notice it but it does indeed have a weight.

A lightsaber's blade is an electromagnetically generated arc wave of pure enery with no mass. The colour (at least in the "real" Star Wars universe) is defined by the combination of crytals that filter out certain colours. If it was possible to filter out all the colours you could theoretically have a lightsaber that emits no light.

 

BUT, considering that the only reason you even see the lightsaber blade is because it emits light, if it emitted no light, it would be invisible, and would only be a black lightsaber in the dark.

 

In order for it to be black, the blade would have to be made of a substance that absorbs light, instead of emitting it. And i can think of nothing that could absorb light/energy but still act as a blade.

I have to say that, scientifically, almost all of that is very sound. However, I must bring up one question: If, indeed, this is a "light"saber due to the blade and not the weight, how does light cut something? Hmmm? Im not making an argument for the weight issue because I find that to be stupid. However, light cannot cut anything. Ions or somesuch? Well, sure. But that would be an "energy"saber or something else, not a "light"saber. If everyone wants to get into the issue of why there can not be a black lightsaber based on the viewpoint that black cannot be a "light", then perhaps we should also acknowledge that "light" is not primarily used as a cutting tool. More accurately, we should probably assume that lightsaber is a misnomer.

It is not entire light it is energy as well.

There is hope beyond hope

We can proably assume that considering the blade is made of pure energy, that it is the energy tht cuts, like electricity burns.

 

We can also assume that its called a lightsaber because it emits light, as all energy does.

 

If it was possibly to create a lightsaber that doesn't emit light, it would still cut though, but can you imagine how dangerous an invisible blade would be? You would just as likely cut off your own head as someone else's.

Well i think that energy is light. Or so the definition of light seems to explain

There is hope beyond hope
