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. | ||

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

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. | ||

Not to mention the implications he was a jedi was also there due to the fact he was able to use Luke's Saber. 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. On December 29 2015 12:43 shin_toss wrote: No..

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!!" | ||

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. | ||

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.

At the end they will hint that in Episode IX there will be a Mega StarKiller. 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. | ||

We also need to fit in a charming smuggler-turned-entrepreneur who runs a city in the sky and is the galaxy's one and only gay person. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||
