Qui-Gon was a Guardian. But he was as much a Sage as Yoda was. His green Lightsaber makes total sense.

I think Qui-Gon would've told Anakin that having internal darkness and attachments doesn't make him a bad person or a bad Jedi. That they only make him human and would've taught Anakin to unify the two sides of himself.

Surely by this reasoning, Ahsoka's first lightsaber should have been blue like Anakin's, but it was green. The Legends way was better: you use a crystal that you attune to and whatever it's colour happened to be was the colour blade you got. The reason that the majority of Jedi blades were green or blue was because, by the time of the Clone Wars, Ilum was the only planet left where you could find lightsaber crystals, and Ilum crystals were only ever green or blue. This was why the Sith had to use synthetic crystals- the Jedi had Ilum under such tight lockdown, the Sith could never have got in to get a natural crystal.

I think it’s because to have a purple lightsaber, you have to be able to apply dark side abilities and have yourself in control. Anakin just went full dark

Really brings back memories of knights of the old republic. Picking the lightsaber color on dantooine. Don’t know how but I am always a Jedi guardian

As with all of Disney's changes to the lore- their changes to kaiber crystals were for the worse. It was more interering when kaiber crystals denoted role/rank within the order. An individual's chosen path through the force. Now the colors can just mean whatever the writers want, I suppose.

No matter who you are you'll look awesome while wielding a purple saber. They're definitely the most stylish color of lightsaber.

Stupendous Wave we desperately needed to watch the third part of what if Qui Gon Jinn trained Anakin Skywalker. Please give us an update on the progress. 🙏🥺

Samuel L Jackson requested a purple blade that was his only stipulation.( EVERYONE ELSE) As far as Hayden goes the man was given cheesy lines, but he was also representing. someone who grew up without exploring his emotions, so for them to still be child like even in a young adult life is actually pretty par for the course not to mention ultimately, I thought he was a damn good actor and people just hate on him, because they can’t put themselves in a mindset of what it would be to be a child who grew up as a slave, leaving his mother. Ultimately falling in love told he couldn’t express those emotions, and then when he did, it was like expressive them for the first time a.k.a. cheesy child like lines.

Jaina Solo also had a violet blade. Mara Jade carried Anakin's lightsaber after the showdown between Joruus C'Baoth and Luuke Skywalker on Mount Tantiss.

The explanation I heard, and one I agree with is that Anakin, unlike Jedi like Yoda or Luke, focused on the combat applications of the force, where Yoda and Luke focused on the use of the force. For example if you were to afford Jedi colours to sith, Vader would have blue and sidious would have green, as each focused on the force in completely different ways

If palps hadn't been poisoning the well from the beginning, Ani and mace could likely have come to a close understanding. They were close in a lot of ways, personality wise, and could have hammered out a peace, if anakin hadn't already been under other influence.

Funfact; Ther was no background WHY Mace got a purple lightsaber -> Its just becouse the actor Samuel L. Jackson asked for a purple lightsaber - so he got one

I always preferred how Legends handled the subject. It allowed for a more interesting view on the idea of how it was Jedi culture and beliefs that became narrowed to a strict orthodoxy that reduced the typical Jedi blades to being either blue or green. Having the color change based on personality just sounds lazy to me for the most part.

So , what Disney is saying is that what a person identifies as determines his lightsaber color ? So a schizophrenic would have a rainbow colored blade ? That explains a lot.

...Sidious against Windu was like Palpatine fighting against himself...

i tell you all if anakin was like mace windu who could use light and dark side he should have trained with mace windu

This is very well explained. Anakin tried his best,but he couldn't.I agree,Qui-Gon would be per5fect teacher. He would taught Anakin so much differently than anyone else. I can imagine some conversations. Qui-Gon explaining higher mysteries not just of the Force but of life. Anakin being confused,but understanding :) Everything would fit slowly. I agree lightsaber would turn purple. It would be cool to see. May the Force be with you too

Mace Windu chose the purple lightsaber as an inner reflection for his love of grape Kool aid

A question occurs from another of your videos but sparked by seeing Ventress here. If Dooku looked down upon dual blades so much, why did he have Ventress use them?

I never really thought about it like that but yeah, Id have to agree with this. Mace was a zealot for the Jedi Dogma, in his mind bringing righteous fury against evil. His anger towards whom he perceived as evil or dangerous was borderline Dark Side, so much that his worldview was reflected in his Kyber crystal. It explains so much about his character, like when he was willing to kill Palpatine in his office after learning he was a sith lord. Really makes you wonder if Anakin had told that to anyone else besides Windu would Anakin have turned to the dark side?

Sup Forgot this page existed until recently. Love that it's still up. The vids here really got me through boring college lectures. Thanks for the constant updates ^_^

So, my Jedi character has one of the rare naturally red lightsabers which gave made the Jedi of the time exile him. However, he managed to find a Jedi master to teach him when he aided republic forces in the clone wars becoming his unofficial padawon. While he wasn’t anything special with the force he was insanely good with the lightsaber allowing him to combat far stronger foe’s including the likes of Anakin at one point. His preferred form is a modified form of Naiman which allows him to modify his strengths and weaknesses.

Qui Gon WAS a Counsellor tho. He was the one who first learned how to become a force ghost for crying out loud! He always strove to follow the will of the force also.

This was a perfect video🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I agree with all points listed.

Windu in every scene he’s in looks like he’s trying not to pimp slap everyone.

The color change does explain the mandalorean creed turning the dark Saber to black

Great video 🎉

Good answer.

Amazing video.

If I was a jedi I would have studied all of the force because I do believe like stated here that information/abilities are neither good or evil it's how there used that defines it. I would have loved to see what colour crystal I would have gotten 🤞 (orange). 😂 I think I'd be stuck in the middle with the personality of I can't be good and I won't be evil .

Because there are two things anakin hates : 1. The Colour Purple 2. Sand

Because Hayden Christensen... the actor who played Anakin Skywalker didn't like purple.

If I had a lightsaber and had to pick one of the conventional colors, I’d go with green. But if I could chose a unique color, I’d pick turquoise.

I feel like Mace's dark nature manifested itself as zealotry to Jedi ideology and a rigid, narrow view of exactly what a Jedi is, while blinding him to the manipulation and corruption that befell the Jedi order.

the jin thing! i believe that should have been his trainer and i think then it turns out he balanced the force! I have no idea on the purple but good show! Keep up the solid craftsmanship! IE

The colors are matching the skies. They are different levels, like belts. Maybe more of a fit for a time than permanent but your time depends on you to be satisfies with achievement. At this stage pick a color and learn it or learn multiple. Blue is second color. It is the overall sky, next to the lesser light... Which is the night. The dark saber is the night and its stealth killer for natural control and its an assassins weapon for me...

In the in the clone wars novelization anakin is terrified of his own inner darkness and is constantly trying to convince himself that he wasn’t going dark he in a since is constantly fighting against himself and while he doesn’t feel guilt at murdering the tuskins as much as was terrified of the darkness he used

What if Anakin actually managed to talk mace window down, and together they took in Palpatine/Sidious

Greens represent force proficiency, blue was for soldiers (those who utilised the saber more than the force), Purple was for this who were a mix of dark and light. Full potential Anakin would’ve had a purple lightsaber

Mace reminds me of Xeanort when he told Terra to wield light and darkness in equal shares

New Idea "Why Mace Windu broke the glass window on purpose with his lightsaber while dueling Darth Sidious?" It just felt odd doing so. Did he wanted to throw Sidious from the window? Or did he imagined the fight will go on outside the building?

One question at start - Blue, Green and Purple... what with yellow which Luke took from old Jedi temple and used it after fight with his father in Cloud City?

The fear of the darkside was what let to the fall the order. Mace Winda may have excepted his darker natural, but there was one thing he couldn't let go and that night with Palps should itself, the attachment of the republic, funny the person that should look at himself didn't see attachment was blind him of the dangerous beside him. Lead by bad example.

That new bleeding thing is just so G4e

I like to believe that if Anakin had been born during the High Republic Era, he would have thrived as a Jedi.

Windu was a arrogant egomaniac that felt that he was the real chosen one . But . He became a greasey strain on the sidewalk.

I've got an OC with a very pale amber lightsaber. I go by Legends for lightsaber colors but honestly that color makes sense if you use Canon - the overall pale coloring of the blade represents her weak connection to the force as a whole, while the amber (yellow-orange) tint hints at a passionate nature. But in actuality her lightsaber's color is due to the combination of crystals. She's got a Sigil primary and a Ruusan secondary. Yes, I know Ruusans are extremely rare, the reason why she has it is because she was granted a special accommodation due to her weak connection to the Force, since Ruusan crystals amplify that. The result is an unstable, rough and perceptibly hot blade with a somewhat washed-out amber color.

I always thought purple was just put in because Samuel l Jackson favourite colour wad purple 💜 🤔 so they wrote it into law

I figured it was because he wasn't open to darkness until padme died then just flipped over

Synthetic crystals made a lot more sense than 'bleeding' them red.

So maybe with information that I'm hearing you were saying on this specific topic with Anakin not being able to wield a purple lightsaber of his full potential you had a while back talking about if Mace Windu trained Anakin I don't remember if you had him wield a purple lightsaber that would make an interesting updated story or sequel love your channel I watch Daily my pet cat pickles watches you every Saturday on the Sith Returns the Clone Wars he loves hearing your voice thank you so much

Revan & Mace. 2 awesome Force Users

Preferred the legends version where it was just crystals and not something sentient. Makes more in the pre Disney movies too when jedi uses any lightsaber that happens to be on them during combat

I wonder what my crystal color would be

If Mace had to control his inner darkness he must be a very disciplined Jedi then....

I feel as it’s anakin not embracing his aggressive dark side and saying to himself he is a Jedi that makes it blue

Is there a what if version of Anakin that did become the chosen one and uber powerful Jedi out there somewhere?

red and blue (sith and jedi guardian) make purple red and green (sith and jedi consular) make yellow red, green and blue (sith, jedi consular and jedi guardian) make white green and blue (jedi consular and jedi guardian) make cyan (sith and jedi guardian) but more jedi guardian makes indigo? Other than the common red, blue, green; Which color would you prefer? i prefer, either a silver, white or indigo

Even if the Council feared Anakin’s potential Qui Gon would have always been there to support Anakin instead of Palpatine (though he’d still be quite the influence on the boy) instead of figuring out his own path next to him like Obi Wan. Love the Phantom Menace, truly the duel of the fates

Anya kurro had a purple saber too, rare two clone war era Jedi had purple at the same time!😮 Love that Mara Jade,Revan,and Jaina Solo had purple...and Mace lol not a big Mace fan and tho I kinda feel he's hypocritical saying only he can tame the darkness and of he'd only teach vappad properly,Jedi wouldn't fall to the dark side,all his darkness yet he was so suspicious,scared,and just didn't like Anakin,,I sense jealously from some council members towards the chosen one

Kreia is really in My #Top5 ⚛️

Meetra Surik's lightsaber was Cyan

I wrote my own star wars legends lore alternative timeline where Qui gon and mace windu both trained Anakin together.

I feel like if vader had survived in return of the jedi, anakin would make a new lightsaber that has a purple blade to signify that he was in both the light and dark sides of the force

you cant choose your kyber crystal's color, it was stated in the clone wars

I totally ignore the canon explanation of Kyber Crystals and instead go with legends

Oooh (important) I better watch this.

Only thing that matters is lord Vader father king plagues coming he behind everything not palpatine all those movies palpatine was a clone

Here is a question to anyone in the comments if Anakin Skywalker had excepted who he truly was, wouldn’t his light saber, blade, turn red signifying, the color of the Sith, and the deep seeded darkness that Aniken has within him

So this means Anakin should have wielded a purple lightsaber after all blue was never really his true color then but since the order were so filled with pride and prejudice and so pridefully hard on Anakin he had to sweep his emotions under the rug without showing it you would think being the Chosen One he should’ve been granted a purple lightsaber instead of a blue one but because the jedi were extremely rigid they wanted Anakin to be like everyone else but in TRUTH he wasn’t and they knew it too he was always different and yeah I personally strongly agree if he had been trained by Qui Gon that would have been the case than originally i also think the reason why Mace Windu was granted permission to wielding a purple lightsaber was bc he was exceptional in harnessing the dark side to a degree of focus but it was also thru exceptionalism that caused him from ever being looked down upon unlike Anakin i think it was also pride and prejudice that became one of the jedi’s failed ways from the beginning if they had at least allowed Anakin to learn and to teach him how to embrace his emotions in learning how to control them like Windu did instead of forcing him to pretend to be something that he wasn’t by nature and a slight change of ethics things might’ve gone differently for the better

I don’t think that Anakin had control of the Darkness inside of him before he fell to it.

What's the name of the song @8:08?

Blue lightsabers: defend enlightenment and all that is good Red (bled) lightsabers: embracing darkness and rejecting light Purple lightsabers: reject all darkness just as sith reject light Anakin used darkness to defend that which he cared about, not to destroy darkness itself. Even if anakin obtained a purple lightsaber, the Jedi would grow concerned that he was turning to the dark side.

[1] Anakin didn't delve into darkside abilities until after he built his saber, and only then, at Palpatine's "guidance". [2] Anakin's standing in the Jedi was tenuous enough as it is, he didn't dare jeapordize it by flaunting "hey I've got interest in darkside abilities!" (even with being the prophesied one to bring balance). [3] He did not have the supreme self confidence of Mace Windu.

Anyone wish they could Pummel battle droids with Mace Windu like that on Battlefront 2

Colors Anakin would most likely have besides blue and red. 1. Purple 2. Orange 3. Green 4. Yellow 5. White

You should look into the EA Jedi fallen order and new game Jedi survivor. Make videos for them.

3:02 Fat Mace Windu

Darth Revan had a Purple blade as well but he only had it after becoming a Jedi knight after leaving the sith as well.

You'd probably think that the chosen one would be gifted something more unique than an "average" blue-colored lightsaber, right?

So crystals are kind of like unicorn hair, phoenix feather, and dragon heartstring.

I think if Qui-Gon trained him his blade would have been green.

Wait whoa, Qui Gon was a guardian??

Mace Windu was the father that Aniken needed. I believe the force failed Aniken and allowing his blade to be blue. If it was purple, I believe Yoda would’ve instructed mace Windu to be Aniken Newmaster.

I think the first bad decision Mace made was not training Anakin himself, he could sense shatter points but had a decided issue with misinterpreting them until after they were over. Several times, Mace could have functioned like the mentor Anakin needed but chose not to.

When did Ashoka have Blue blades?

It REALLY surprising? Mace was always Anakin's biggest critic. Had Mace not spent most the time being a hypocrite an made it a point to be the bane of Anakin's existence an treated him better MAYBE then Anakin woulda both TRUSTED Mace in the critical moment an even been capable of making a Purple blade. Mace, was very hypocritical an his form even was actually quite flawed, he was a fool to thing it AND HE was "perfect" an well balanced. He shoulda seen Anakin as a perfect Guinea Pig for a perfect test of a TRULY perfect Vaapadd by First before Anakin ever came on scene worked to FINALLY fix Vaapadd an THEN waited for the perfect test subject to produce a more balanced Jedi from someone like Anakin... He shoulda worked HARD to train an mold Anakin an get a mutual respect going even IF they didn't much like or trust each other. It coulda made ALL the difference in the critical moments.

Purple lightsabers didn't exist until Attack of the Clones? Really? Because Jaina Solo created hers back in 1996-97 in the Young Jedi Knights series. I guess the current cannon didn't have them until the movie. But they did exist in the old EU.

You should have posted a different version of this video yesterday (still posted this one today of course) that was just 5 seconds with you saying "he doesn't like the color purple" and that's it. Missed opportunity.

can you put subtitles?

I wish Mara Jade would use the force on me.

By the way people inaccurately describe purple blades, Anakin totally should have been "blessed" with that colour. But the commonly accepted purple lightsaber meaning is obviously a flawed assumption.

I think your lightsaber crystal should reflect what type of person you are more than anything else. Good or bad.

That will amazing if have a purple lightsaber

itd truly make more sense, the jedi say hes supposed to bring "balance" to the force by destroying the dark and making it fully lightsided in the process so yeah wheres the balance in that

Anakin should have had a yellow blade not purple. He was meant to be the balance. Purple is imbalance not balance. It is an inner conflict between Light and Dark. Yellow is established basically with Rey now as being the pure color of balance.

Because Samuel L’s swag was real during this time

Then when Luke was givin his light saber why didn’t it change color l?

If there's one thing that I think this channel is overplaying, it's the importance/significance of lightsaber crystals. There's no reason to believe that the color actually matters. Yes, I know in canon there's the whole color=nature thing, but it doesn't really mean anything imo, it's not like it helps in interpreting force wielders' temperaments/natures since for most of star wars's history the colors were mostly randomly given.
