I have been up past sunrise this entire week. I just got done writting my final paper, and I only got four hours of sleep last night. This healthy combination of choices as made me think of my most "stonerific" blog post thus far. I was looking at the sun starting to rise and the different colors made me think about lightsabers...yeah...anyway, I wrote alot of stuff about good and evil in my paper so I was sort of in the mood. I have always wondered why the Sith only use a red lightsaber (there are exceptions as always) and why the Jedi use mainly blue and green. Do these colors represent a deeper meaning behind good and evil, or are they simply an artistic touch by Lucas. Red is often thought of as the color of passion and anger, thus it makes sense that the followers of the dark side of the force, who get their power through passion and anger, wield a red lightsaber. I dont know many meanings behind the colors of blue and green, so why do you think that the Jedi use those colors?

Here's a bit of geek-dom for you: The Jedi Guardian is like a solder they use blue sabers. Jedi Sentinels are like agents, independently operating with good all-around training, they use yellow sabers. The Jedi Consular may be best described as a "wizard," that is, they focus manly on the use of the Force, they use green. They are free to choose to change these colors however. The sith always use red and I like your reasoning. As for other colors, Green is often serenity or tranquility, One With the Force? Blue purity. Yellow? While both green and blue are cool colors yellow and red are both warn colors don't think there is a connection there but who knows. Any meaning to the color of lightsabers has probably been added since the original movies. Vader's was red because it a harsh color easily associated with "evil" and Luke's and Obi's were to offset that.
