No.. (in the EU at least.) the color of the saber depends on what crystal was used on it and it turns out that the crystals for red lightsabers have more chemistry with the dark side. (correct me if im wrong but I think I read that sometime ago.)

Blue sabers are usually for Jedis with good lighsaber fighting, green more on force user Jedis and so on..

i was never entirely sure and i don't know if anyone has a definitive answer, as i stated that's what i read from a wiki, i don't claim it to be right but it does seem logical how your force can influence the light of the saber. i'm willing to accept your explanation as well until something better comes along and disproves it.

I like to think that lightsabers are a reflection of their creator. Blue is the standard Jedi, green is perhaps for masters (maybe Obi Wan should've had green too but perhaps they were all blue at first and kept in the prequels for consistency), red is for evil, purple is somewhere in between (Windu uses a very unusual battle style). Ren's looks dangerous but unstable and tempestuous, like him.

It is most definitely the crystal color, as a purely technical answer.

I actually didn't remember mace windu's saber color but that's cool that you noticed it was purple, i was too focused on his actual fight scene to notice it i might rewatch it.
If green was for masters, i think mace windu shoulda been green. maybe this is an unpopular opinion but i think mace was perhaps stronger than yoda. yeah it doesn't mean much since we only really get to see him fight once, but the guy would have killed a prime palpatine 1 on 1 if anakin didn't interfere. Yoda is overrated as a master despite him showing great mastery over the force in the earlier movies. the guy would have lost vs count dooku, dooku basically retreated and forced him to use his force to save his allys, but for w/e reason i'm guessing plot armor, dooku just refused to give him the finishing blow and instead ran back to his space shuttle. yoda also lost vs palpatine. from these 2 fights i pretty much rank mace windu higher than yoda.

Why do you use the word revive when he wasn't even dead? He did not receive anything fatal; probably lying in the cold was the most dangerous that happened to him.

Yeah, I met with this in KOTOR. Blue is for the guardians (mainly fighters), and there was Green and Yellow for sentinels (or watchmen, idk) who are in between and consulars who are mainly force users. Forgot which belonged to which. There is also a more in depth explanation as what do these Jedi do exactly.

But I highly doubt it would have any impact on the new trilogy. I just hope we can see Rey actually choose her crystal or hopefully, crystals. I would've said purple too btw, but they won't do that, because everyone would just go "yeah, sure, just cuz she's a girl!!"

Obi Wan was an excellent duelist, yet also gifted in use of force, in the graphic novels (canon) General Grievous wants to fight him badly to test if he does really live up to his reputation.

lot of videos says the same thing about light saber colors

I'm pretty sure this is all non-canon now, but the color of the lightsaber is due to the kind of crystal used. Usually, the crystal also had some level of representation of the personality and fighting style of the owner, since the owner would make their own lightsaber as a sort of "right of passage." The personality linking wasn't a die-hard rule, but a good rule-of-thumb.

The exception is that of Sith lightsabers. The Sith turned to synthetic crystals which had a notorious red color to them. It wasn't because they were "evil" or anything of the sort, it was because most of the natural crystal formations were in strong control of Jedi. At some point, they turned to synthetics so that they could make lightsabers, and it just sorta became tradition.

i suppose i was incorrect in my usage of the word revive. yeah he's not dead, i'm more or less referring to the fact disney is going to overplay the importance of his coma. hence why i also attempt to predict that they're going to assume he would have died or not awoken despite all of their scientific efforts, but somehow the force within him awakes and he opens his eyes and becomes a jedi.

Well lets talk about what do you expect for E8, I am expecting that the resistance is now in a frozen planet, there are probes from the new order looking for the base and they will deploy mechanical Mammoths (you know bigger is better now in movies), but the resistance can take down those Mamooths down with Harpoons, C3PO and BB8 are the new BFF, Rey is trained by Luke, but she cant move the whole planet with her mind (she is so OP that moving a ship should be easy peasy) so Luke is dissapointed, he thinks she is too old to be trained but Obi Wan reminds that Luke was the same. Finn is full recovered and running away from the FO army, but then he remembers that he fought already vs a Sith apprentice, so he goes in a solo mission to fight the one who can be no named, or at least vs the huge hologram. Kylo discovers that he was adopted by Leia and Han, not in any other way he could look so different compared to his parents, and then in his rage he throws his futuristic Ipad or Note6 into some random screen and cut the computer into pieces with the light saber (like a teenager brat), at the end they turn off the lights so Kylo and Rey meet each other and fight, when Rey is beating his ass again, then Luke screams I am your father (to her) so she got emotional unstable, weak and her arm is cut, being rescued by Chewie and her aunt, or wait a plot hole, I forgot that Finn in some way has to be frozen and claimed by Phasma, nobody knows for what. At the end they will hint that in Episode IX there will be a Mega StarKiller.

If Finn is a force user, I don't think he'll "awaken" until towards the very end of the next episode. Here's my theory:

So, they will want to keep the feel of the OT, but obviously they won't want to rip off anything else. They played it safe for TFA, it set them up greatly, there is absolutely no need for another secret thingy hidden in a robot or another Deathstar. They still want to keep the adventure>>>politics element from the OT, and the way Rey says goodbye to Finn it was obvious to me that they won't meet again until at least the middle of the next episode. Rey will be busy with the Jedi stuff and Finn will search his place in the Resistance plus broing it up with Poe. Perfect opportunity to show us two seperate stories, and when our heroes finally meet again, everyone can be teary-eyed. Rey will be a powerful Jedi and Finn will actually have a purpose and not just going with the wind. They will be different people, but they will be still great friends (or lovers, I dunno whether they want to bring together or not; it seemed to me that Rey considers him more of a friend than a love interest) and us viewers will feel like when we see the members of the A-team finally getting together. We will know shit is serious now.

OR Finn just casually visits Rey during her training and Luke goes "wtf, you have some force too, my buddy!"

I'm not sure if I want Finn to become a Jedi or not.

Am I the only one who thought Kylo looked a lot like his father? Some of his face-structures were spot-on.

Not as obvious as Anakin's mother+Padme = Rey, but still.

cmon lucas, don't spoil what you were intending for the movie before it's released, that's not how you build anticipation for the movie. i already knew you were going to rip off the 2nd movie in the chronological order when you spoke of the frozen planet but please, be more original this time.

but rofl on your sarcasm i love it."throws his futuristic ipad or note6" AHAHAHAHAH

Yeah, I thought about that afterwards, but it would be a too great "innovation" for the movie, what about putting some smuggler background in Poe´s life that is told in 30 seconds, with some metrosexual behaviour and then we are covered. What do you think?

You mean prequells are better than this movie? And they had good writing?

Then again, Ashoka in The Clone Wars had a green lightsaber, so I don't think it's limited to masters only. She also sports a white lightsaber in the Rebels show, probably as a way of showing how she had left the Jedi Order and her alignment away from them.

At least the prequels had an original story. Everything in this movie that deviated from IV felt like somthing out of a fan-fiction remake of IV.

One of the most predictable movies I have ever seen, I seriously felt like I had watched it before the first time I saw it.

I wonder if Finn has any relation to Mace Windu considering he's A) clearly black and one of the few black characters in the new canon and B) possibly someone who might use the force at some point.

Anyway, just saw the movie and it was enjoyable. There's obvious flaws but I'm not the type to get all bent over the storyline. I expected to see some cool looking shit and it delivered on that, lol

I would have preferred if the plot wasn't a complete rehashing of EP4 though.

edit: or related to Lando I guess. Although I feel his character would be stronger if they don't tie in one of those bloodlines to him so fingers crossed.

So, having just seen it in IMAX 3D.
First off, seeing it in said IMAX 3D and seeing the Star Wars story intro roll with the music did generate some goosebumps and it was a joy to watch.


i'm surprised we held generally the same opinion about the movie. i saw it in IMAX-3D as well, this movie does not live up to the last 3, and anyone who really doesn't see that is either braindead or doesn't know a thing about good writing.

You mean prequells are better than this movie? And they had good writing?

At least the prequels had an original story. Everything in this movie that deviated from IV felt like somthing out of a fan-fiction remake of IV.

One of the most predictable movies I have ever seen, I seriously felt like I had watched it before the first time I saw it.

Well, obviously that's true. Now I am wondering if "writing" alludes to the writing of the storyline or the writing of the scenes and the dialogues? In my opinion prequels failed misereably in both those regards, where E7 failed only in the first one.
sorry for dem one liners

I wonder if Finn has any relation to Mace Windu considering he's A) clearly black and one of the few black characters in the new canon and B) possibly someone who might use the force at some point.

Anyway, just saw the movie and it was enjoyable. There's obvious flaws but I'm not the type to get all bent over the storyline. I expected to see some cool looking shit and it delivered on that, lol

I would have preferred if the plot wasn't a complete rehashing of EP4 though.

Uh, what? Why would the two characters be related just because they're both black (and even if Finn did have a connection to the Force, a theory that at this point is not supported by anything)?

Finn's actor said that someone tweeted (or sth) the same theory, and at a party (or sth... my short-term memory is rly shit) someone pat him in the back saying HELLO SON (or sth...) and it was Samual motherfucking L. Jackson.

Did I watch every single John Boyega and Daisy Ridley interview? You bet!
