What Color Lightsaber Would You Wield?

[Ninja Boi]

Here is a quiz I put together a while back. It is very accurate because it is based of a real test from a Star Wars game. Unfortunately I only added the 3 colors from the movies. Blue, Green, Purple...

Jedi Guardian: Blue
Jedi Consular: Green
Jedi Sentinel: Purple/Yellow

Yellow was from the game but because there is really no yellow blade, then I changed it to purple.

Answer the questions how you would actually answer. Only the way you would answer perhaps as a child... or before you walked the Jedi path. Some of the answers are rude or inappropriate. However, they are like that only because it helps the result of the quiz. I can't tell you everything about it or it would ruin it. So go ahead and take it and then post your color. :)

I took the test but just didn't post my results. I ended up being a Consular, which I've always identified with anyway.

Wow thats pretty cool. I also went with blue before I was a Guardian. Anyone else? :sHa_thumb:

[Mindas Arran]

Where is the red blade?

[Ninja Boi]

Where is the red blade?

Why would I put red and benefit the Sith in any way? Red is not a Jedi's color.

[Moonshadow]

Red doesn't always automatically mean Sith. Leia had a red lightsaber in the expanded universe.

coolness... do you agree with the result?

No not all Sith are evil. I guess. And the reason we go to war is a lot about religion. So I can't argue with their way of life. However, I don't like their way of life. It just bugs me sometimes when people, (my little brother), take on the tittle of Sith so easily and not understand. I am just the type of person that would cast down evil scum whenever or wherever. Unless they are defenseless then I will try to save them. There are a lot of Sith that are evil and selfish... I say that out of experience. Another reason I did not put a red blade is because the people that want red soooooooo bad will recognize what answers lead to red and will take it.

You should totally add this as a "must fill out" thing for people who register. Then we could see their blade color with a glance at their profile. :)

[RyuJin]

lol my percentages add up to 180%
the funny thing is that while the consular matches with a few exceptions i've always thought of myself as a bit of a hybrid

[jdmcowan]

I don't think it's meant to be you: are this percent this and that percent that. I think it's more like: you are 75% in line with the classic this and you are 30% in line with the classic that.

So it seems Charles may be the most well rounded of us, though he fits Guardian the best. The rest of us would make terrible Guardians.

RyuJin - it looks like this test won't declare you a hybrid, but with 60% in Sentinel you're not far behind me, and that was my main one.

I have to admit that I am not well versed in Jedi lore (i.e. I haven't read much EU). Please tell me more about being a Sentinel.

From Wookieepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page):

A Jedi Guardian (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Guardian) was the name given to a Jedi whose skills and talents lay in battle, a light side mirror of the Sith Warrior. They often concentrated on martial training and combat and usually engaged in combat more than any other Jedi, though they were no less skilled at diplomacy. Like all Jedi, they were keepers of the peace, acting as a kind of special police force for the Galactic Republic. Guardians traditionally wielded blue lightsabers, though this was not a rule.

Once a Guardian attained the rank of Jedi Master, they were given the honorific title of Warrior Master.

According to legend, it was two Warrior Masters along with the two Sage Masters who constructed the Jedi Temple on the galactic capital of Coruscant.

A Jedi Consular (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Consular) (also called a Jedi seer) was, like all Jedi, skilled in battle, but rarely entered combat, preferring to study the mysteries of the Force. Consulars were the primary scholars and diplomats and seers of the Order, often becoming instructors.

What the Jedi Guardian preferred to achieve by combat, the Jedi Consular achieved by words or the Force. Traditionally, they wielded a green lightsaber, but, like all Jedi, they were free to choose their own color for the blade.

When they attained the rank of Jedi Master, consulars became known as Sage Masters.
Two Sage Masters joined with two Warrior Masters to build the initial Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

The Jedi Sentinels (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Sentinel) were a subsect of the Jedi Order that sought a balance between the two extremes of the Jedi, the Jedi Consulars and the Jedi Guardians. They possessed adequate combat skills and had somewhat extensive knowledge of the Force. Along with this blended knowledge of both combat and the Force, they also possessed exceptional non-Force skills, such as in the fields of security, computers, stealth techniques, demolitions, repair or medicine. These skills tended to take the forefront in their middle-road approach to problems; while a Guardian might bash down a locked door and a Consular simply knock, a Sentinel would instead pick the lock. A Sentinal's default lightsaber color is yellow, but like guardians and consulars, is up to the individual.

I think the reason I fall so heavily into the Consular category is my non-aggressive nature. Although I study martial arts, I would only use it in a conflict as an absolute last resort. Sentinel is likely my second highest category because I seek balance on my path. I believe that mind, body, and spirit all play an equally important role on my path as a Jedi, and therefore should all be developed equally. Guardian scored the lowest because they put combat first, whereas although I believe in developing the skills, I place actually engaging in combat last.

I have to admit that I am not well versed in Jedi lore (i.e. I haven't read much EU). Please tell me more about being a Sentinel.

If you ever need any "Jedi Lore" Help feel free to poke me :) My RP's help keep me informed :-p

[RyuJin]

interestingly enough when i play kotr 2 i start as a sentinel but instead of choosing the sentinal prestige class (watchman) i always choose the consular prestige class (master). i have tried every possible combination in the game and found that combination to be the best for me...sometimes games can show you who you really are B)

[Kitsu Tails]

...sometimes games can show you who you really are

Honestly I'm not a big fan of terminal games (Computer, ps2, xbox...ect) What I find 'shows you who you really are' the best, are forum board RPG's. Because you are forced to create a character, create hard situations that character has to go through, and write about how they do it, as well as respond to how other characters react to your own (Which is always unpredictable because you don't know what the other person will do) In this, you are forced to think creatively, logicaly, and realistically (within the realms of the universe you RP in) and then put it in words, review it, edit it, and submit it. :)

Just my two credits for ya.

P.S. This is not to say that RPG should replace your life and evaluation of it. It is just one example of many.

~Kit

[Charles]

I can agree with that Kitsu, role playing in most forms I find shows a lot of the true self.

Also.. how the heck did I wind up with a MORE aggressive number than Mindas?

I was seriously expecting like... 150% Guardian for you there bro haha.

[Mindas Arran]

Me? Nah... I'm chill as a polar bear's toenail. :sHa_cool:

[RyuJin]

it's been my experience (at least in mmorpg's) that while with some people you see what they truly are, many others use it as an opportunity to escape themselves and be someone they're not.
in the mmo i play, each of my 7 characters are still me, i don't use any as a mask.
i constantly help out newbs, protect others from pkers even when the pkers are much stronger then my character and more numerous, lately when i play i spend more time acting as a sage type and less trying to level up...

[Inari]

Green for me.

Well...while MMO's are a bit more adaptable in this manner....it is still a terminal game. With pictures and specific amount of pre-set skills and limitations.

It is not the same as forum board RPG where everything is created by you and your interaction with others.

[RyuJin]

by forum board do you mean games similar in nature to d & d ?
because i use to play that as well back when i was still in middle/high school, and found the same results as the mmo's....i prefer console games that change everytime you play them knights of the old republic for example i have beaten countless times and the conversations are different every time. also the game fable which while the beginning and end are the same your interactions with others throughout the game play a part in how the game goes...i can't wait for the time when interactive/dynamic a.i. becomes common in all games...though none of them should ever replace true social interaction.

[Coragus Corvus]

My result was Sentinel - Purple!

You rely purley on skill alone. You use your abilities to your advanage. You are independent, you would disobey your masters only if need be but mostly you follow their directions. You fight for yourself but would save someone of course. You also work well in a team....

[Zaron]

Green. For me it stands for persuit of knowlege and peace with one's self more then anything else. Plus I belive in blade colors being able to give powers to the user so green is calmer looking so it would relax you while blue which is sharper looking would be a more fighting orianted color and so on.

[RyuJin]

in the end blade color is really a matter of preference...my lightsaber is a silver bladed arbiter...my next one will be a double bladed silver arbiter

[Zaron]

I know this is a side step but since we are on the subject of lightsabers do the handles mean anything in pataculiar? I noticed that in Jedi acadamy you can choose from a handful of diffrent ones.

[RyuJin]

only to the individual jedi, since it's common practice for an apprentice to make their own...often the design can be reminescent of their masters(if applicable)...in the case of mine the arbiter(which means:one with the power to judge or ordain) represents my ability to listen to both sides of an argument, and rationally make a decision without allowing my own personal feelings, views, or emotions influence that decision....because i gather as much information as possible about a person, or topic i can often make a fair judgement that is nearly always right....of course i am human and do make mistakes on occassion. i have no problem admitting when i make one, and correcting it...

so in summation...the handle only means something to the individual jedi(or at least it should)

[SilverMoonfire]

If the color of the blade determens the constitution of your stance, mine would be blue, or purple; i am defensove protectove naturely.

[Zaron]

Thanks RyuJin. Then my will be firebrand I think still think about that one though

[Darth Jediforever!]

I would have to say that i was choose the far superior color of lightsaber, which color is that you ask? well of course red... considering my heart is often torn between good and evil more-so evil...! i also would choose a duel bladed saber and i would be unstoppable!

[Zaron]

Single blades are the best much easier to use plus you don't have to worry about cutting yourself in half like dual sabers. And what the heck is up with people using red like that. Ya red is half good and bad I guess but look at anakin he was half light and dark and at least he used a blade color while a Jedi that did not make him stick out like a sore thumb. No offense meant but it just seems stupid but Jedi respect each other so ya

May the force be with us and may we be with the force

[RyuJin]

well as to the part of cutting yourself in half...that would depend on the skill of the user...many use the double without issue...as for me i can use single, dual, and double so it makes little difference...if we through in modifications of other martial arts weapons then my arsenal is vast...tonfa, nunchaku, yari, 3 sectional staff...and so on and so forth...as to blade color...again its purely personal preference...even in fiction there were sith that used yellow, purple, blue, green and other "jedi" color blades and i'm sure there were other jedi that used red, orange, black and other "sith" color blades...the color doesn't make the jedi...
as to one color being superior to another...nope...all are equal...

[Moonshadow]

Red doesn't always have to be associated with the Sith. Leia chose a red lightsaber for herself in the Expanded Universe.

--Moonshadow

[Myrrden]

As I understand it, it's not red itself that is associated with the Sith, but rather the specific synthetic crystal in their lightsaber, which the Sith create to make them more powerful. As the Sith were responsible for making the lightsaber into the modern weapon, taking away the heavy battery packs, they also used the synthetic crystal to make it a dedicated weapon that was stronger than a natural crystal. Traditionally, the Jedi travel to either the Adega, Ilum, or Dantooine to search for their crystals. These natural crystals come in a variety of colors (around 50) and strength, so the Jedi is guided by the Force to the crystals most suited for the lightsaber they're constructing. 4,000 BBY, the colors were to show their chosen class (Guardian, Consular, Sentinel, etc.) but that fell out of practice before BBY.

[Zaron]

Sorry it just seems to be a waste of time to practice with two blades do to the jedi tradional is one but everybody has their prefrences. Anyway Master Abi Gallia who was on the council when anakin was first there before geting run through by grievous uses a red lightsaber during the events of episode one before updating it her handle and changing to blue. That is the only Jedi that I know of. Moonshadow I thought it was built by luke for her but I might be mistaken either way it only lasts for a short while

[Moonshadow]

[quote]Moonshadow I thought it was built by luke for her but I might be mistaken either way it only lasts for a short while/quote]

No idea. I read that particular part of the expanded universe quite a while ago, so all I remember is that she had a red lightsaber and purposely chose that color in memory of Anakin and to also get rid of some of the negative stigma surrounding that color.

--Moonshadow

[RyuJin]

it's not really that it was tradition to use only one...it's that it was simpler to teach the skills needed to use a single and allow the individual to decide on dual or double...exar kun started as a single then added the second blade on to the original hilt so he could parry better as well as lure in attacks, improve efficiency and gain the element of surprise by reducing the power in one blade to make it weak in order to get an opponent to over extend and be off balance....

[Mindas Arran]

A double bladed saber wouldn't be more efficient, it would be less efficient. The fact that you can't fully extend in any strike.

Don't get me wrong, it looks great in the movies, and Darth Maul is my favorite Jedi from the movies, but in reality, it would be a poorly conceived weapon.

[RyuJin]

when i say efficiency i mean that both ends can strike and defend if used properly a block can be slid into a strike...it's really no different then using a typical bo staff...if the technology were real you wouldn't have to fully extend any strike to be critical...even a glancing blow could be lethal, again that's if the technology were real....but since it's not it's simply fun and pretty

[Zaron]

Ryujin it's interesting every book I have read ad every site I have been to says that the single blade varient is traditionanal but you say it's not. Not saying your wrong it's just intresting. Another thing why not move this little discussion to another area. It is exacually what this one is for.

[RyuJin]

according to the game knights of the old republic 2...the sith saber masters were superior, i spent years on that game trying to unlock every possible conversation...even the biggest secret in it that kreia was the handmaidens mother....a conclusion i suspected but couldn't prove for quite a while...one of the conversations mentioned the various saber techniques and how they all came about around the same time...even one of the masters you have to find uses a double, while another uses dual, and the third uses a single (the fourth master don't count since she uses whatever saber you say you had)

[Kitsu Tails]

Well...There are more resources for information then just 'Old Republic 2' (better even....imo)

The Lightsaber first started out as a Sword, (Farming tools before that if I re-call) Then when technology advanced they went from sword to Lightsaber with the power packs on your back. Which IMO Right there suggests that the Lightsaber started out first as a single blade. The power packs had limited supply, and always had to be re-charged, a double...or duel saber would drain said pack faster then a single would, thus single would be more efficient.

After that things advanced again to the smaller power supplies built into the saber. And so forth and so on from there.

As for which is better or more efficient/more superior...I say it depends greatly on the person wielding it.

As for Princess Liea's lightsaber color....

Notably, she wielded a blue lightsaber that she built herself, and then Luke gave her a ruby-red lightsaber to complement the weapon she had constructed earlier. Because of her duties as leader of the New Republic, Leia became more of Jedi Consular than a Jedi Guardian. >> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Leia_Organa_Solo - Section: Leader of the New Republic

[Moonshadow]

Thanks Kitsu. The details were a bit fuzzy for me since I read the book over 15 years ago and all my Star Wars books are sitting at my parents' house until I set up my library room here. :p

--Moonshadow

[Kitsu Tails]

I hear ya, I wish I could re-build my star wars library! Sadly all of them are buried somewhere at my parents house...*Sigh*

That and I got way to big of a 'Dream List' filled with more important things then books...Like a new bed...>_<

[RyuJin]

The Jedi Council traditionally frowned on use of the blade, believing a traditional lightsaber was enough, and considering the double-bladed lightsaber little more than a weapon designed to kill more effectively, while the Jedi developed the lightsaber to defend. Though there was no rule forbidding its use, the Jedi discouraged their students from attempting to create or use this weapon.[1]

The Sith Lord Exar Kun is often credited with creating the first double-bladed lightsaber. However, according to the Tedryn Holocron, Kun assembled his lightsaber following instructions from a Sith Holocron, possibly prepared by the Exiles.

"In combat, your mind tries to keep track of each blade separately, effectively doubling the number of possibilities. But the two blades are connected: by knowing the location of one, you are automatically aware of the location of the other. In actual practice, the double-bladed lightsaber is more limited than the traditional lightsaber. It can do more damage, but it is less precise. It requires longer, sweeping movements that don't transition well into a quick stab or thrust. Because the weapon is difficult to master, however, few among the Jedi-or even the Sith-understand it. They don't know how to attack or defend effectively against it. That gives those of us who use it an advantage over most of our opponents."

To most effectively wield a double-bladed lightsaber, the staff must be kept moving around the body, never holding still and presenting an easy target, nor a predictable strike. Many users believed that the blades must be under control at all times. That means manipulation of the length or intensity of each blade, either through telekinetic means or physical, both of which are extremely hard to focus on while in combat. Exar Kun is believed to have mastered such a technique.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Double-bladed_lightsaber

strengths and weaknesses are dependant upon the wielder...personally i think it's better to learn to use all of them as you never know what situation may arise....while it was discouraged there were many jedi that used them

[jdmcowan]

when i say efficiency i mean that both ends can strike and defend if used properly a block can be slid into a strike...it's really no different then using a typical bo staff

It seems to me that a double ended lightsaber would be a very different tool than a staff. With the double light saber I would be able to use very few of the techniques that I have practiced with the staff. Most of the staff techniques I know take advanage of it's length and require you to move back and forth between the ends. You don't want to do that when the ends are lightsabers. I'm not qualified to speak to the "effeciency" of a double lightsaber, but I do think it would be an interesting thing to expirement with. However, I don't think you can really compare it to a staff.

Jeremy

[Kitsu Tails]

However, I don't think you can really compare it to a staff.

+1

Staff you can put your hands anywhere on, thus giving you leverage and maneuverability....do that to a double lightsaber and your going to lose a hand...if not both.

[RyuJin]

true there....there are limitations...i'm a close range type so i tend to not grab the ends when using my bo staff....simply personal preference, even though grabbing by the ends increases striking power, grabbing by the middle increases trapping opportunity....if all else fails just grab 2 and use em like escrima(though it works better with shorter blades)

[Kitsu Tails]

o_0 I have never heard of a staff of any kind used for close range fighting, no matter how you use it...

[RyuJin]

:D i like to be different...being unpredictable is a huge tactical advantage, although it has it's drawbacks as well...use long range tactics for cqb(close quarters battle)...if i were in a tight space i'd most likely avoid dual wield or double because it then becomes a handicap vs. single hilt....i learned how to use various weapons that would be considered mid to long range in close range....the attacks aren't as powerful as a full swing would be, but they have a certain grace to them and if aimed correctly can still be very effective

i first started working on this strategy after reading an article in blackbelt magazine about using crescent kicks in close quarters...it got me thinking...your opponent rushes in to close the distance thinking to take away your range/power advantage, if you can't adapt your ranged weapon to close quarters then you lose...

[Mindas Arran]

I'm curious... instead of adapting a long range weapon to use in a short range situation, why not just use a weapon designed for short range (as in the hand to hand example)?

[RyuJin]

because you may not have started out in a close range battle...it may start out at range then quickly shift to close quarters....either adapt what you have or carry extra equipment....soldiers are trained to use a rifle(long range weapon) in close quarters fighting in the event that the distance gets closed before they can draw their close range weapon...or they may have lost their close range weapon...one must be adaptive in any situation

[RyuJin]

watch this video....it shows the double at work and why i'm making mine able to split

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMXpokrfblM

[Zaron]

very nice. I can't decide if i like the music or the battle more probably the music. Anyway my unexperienced opinion is that yes the staff and two blades sure looked cool but watching reinforces my single blade opinion. From what i saw the staff user threw a lot of moves at the single but they all failed and the single actually BEAT the staff user disarming him because he stood his ground watching and waiting for a mistake and even when he went two blade he still held his own. The end was hard for me to see but it seemed the only reason single user lost because he guessed wrong or something. it is early morning right now so i will watch it again when i am fully awake and post again then

[RyuJin]

actually the double only missed a couple of times and at least one of them looked intentional to either get the other to back off or set up an opening...often battles are filled with what appears to be a miss that is actually intended to see how your opponent will respond to a certain technique so you can set up strikes...it's like playing chess you don't always just come charging straight in for a quick win...especially against a skilled opponent, or an opponent whose skills you don't know...you feel them out, get an idea of their speed and ability, then set them up using their own talents against them...as to being disarmed...it was a very good technique he used to do it, though i've never been disarmed (but have had my fingers smashed pretty good plenty of times) i have a feeling that he was either disarmed because he had a poor grip against a good technique or they simply put it in for dramatic effect...in the end the single lost simply because he was caught by a completely unorthodoxed move...one that even i hadn't thought of doing (and i'm all for being completely unorthodoxed)....at the very end of it all...single, dual, double...none is better then the other simply different and dependent upon the skill of the user.

as for me i like the double, but i'm also skilled with dual, and single...

What color lightsaber would you weild if you were a jedi?
Your Result: Jedi Sentinel- Purple


You rely purley on skill alone. You use your abilities to your advanage. You are independent, you would disobey your masters only if need be but mostly you follow their directions. You fight for yourself but would save someone of course. You also work well in a team....

Jedi Guardian- Blue

Jedi Consular- Green

[Revan]

Hmm purple? lol err i'll stick with me silver colored blade lol

[RyuJin]

another silver blader...that's what mine is :)

[Revan]

lol i love the color silver, it's such a mystical color,well ta me anyways lol

[Zaron]

silvers pretty and all but isn't a real solid color like my green silver is just to hazy looking. It makes me think that you have no certain allegiance.I don't mean to light and dark but to helping others or not to. Just my thoughts though feel free to explain anything.

oh and awesome avatar winward. Master Kyp Durron if I am remember right. I was trying to get that one for myself but could never find a suitable one.

[RyuJin]

silver is one of the alternate consular colors, like veridian...or cyan being an alternate guardian color...i look at it as silver being an "enlightened" color, that embraces the qualities of all...

[Zaron]

huh intresting RyuJin. I never actually knew there were alternative colors where did oyu find that out???

[RyuJin]

some of it came from knights of the old republic ;) i forget where i found the others...i think it was on wookiepedia...

[RyuJin]

from wookiepedia

Many years later, as the Imperial Remnant recovered in strength, they also formed a new Force Order; the Imperial Knights. The Knights were noted for their self-fabricated weapons, although they all followed the same design and used silver crystals in their weapons. This helped individualize their weapons but still mark them out as Imperial Knights.

[Zaron]

KOTOR really??? As far as I remember after beating the game 10 or so times all they had was blue green and yellow. Wokkiepedia I can look at if I can just find the right thing to look up always the problem for me. Thanks :)

[Zaron]

oh I get remember now. I just don't know much of that far in the EU. Thanks again

[RyuJin]

in KOTOR 2 all my characters have silver bladed doubles...lost track of how many times i beat it though...got it down to 22hours from start to finish with nearly all side quests complete....

[Zaron]

22 hours! impresive I usually do it in 30 with about half of the side quests complete. I a like to have a little flavor with my blades. And how did you manage to get all silver. I know you can get one on nar shadda but that is the only way. Unless of course you cheat :) Nice avatar by the way let me guess the imperial knights.

[RyuJin]

the crystals more or less show up randomly in boxes,lockers,cylinders,and shops....there's only a couple of crystals i have yet to find in all those games...i search everything...the only cheat i use is the one to get 3 crystals in a saber(not counting the color crystal)...there is a saber cloning cheat available but i don't remember how to do it...

yep imperial knights fighting darth krayt's sith legion

[Zaron]

impressive I will admit not what I would do but impressive never the less. Very nice choice for the avatar then :) I never could figure out if the imperial knights where supposed to be "good" or "bad". I know that it depends on your definition of good and bad which there is none hence the " " :)

[RyuJin]

from what i've read the imperial knights were trained as jedi but were not pledged to the order, instead they were pledged to defending the imperial remnant from all invaders(foreign and domestic) and they did well before one of their own betrayed them and made a deal with the sith (the traitor was in turn betrayed by the sith). by not being bound to the order they had more freedom to do what was needed...they were nearly all wiped out by the sith much like with the jedi, which they eventually joined forces with.(while maintaining independence from the order)

[Zaron]

very cool. It still makes me think that they are "evil" for defending the empire which I still can't belive is still in existence 50 or so years aftr sidious's death. I do remember reading the last comic inviloving the death of krayt and one of the knights giving herself up i think to kill him. Don't quote me on that though :) thanks again RyuJin
