Slamuel Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Do these exist anywhere out of this game, in EU? I mean, are they canon, or canon now because of game? Also, how can they be made black? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhadamanthine Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Normal lightsabers with a black core don't exist outside of SWTOR and awful mods for Dark Forces/Jedi Knight/KOTOR, though there's a weird one-off saber that isn't really like other lightsabers from the Clone Wars show: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darksaber_%28lightsaber%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeutschGamer Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 There is the darksaber that is pure black with a white outline, its written as a precursor to lightsabers and it has a hilt similar to a vibroblade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dark_Lord Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 wrong. the force unleashed (canon) has black sabers. and the way it works doesn't matter, the force works in mysterious ways Well, that one's a bit more ambiguous due to the distinction between story and gameplay elements (the former are canon while the latter are not). While the existence of the darksaber lends some credence to the black crystal from TFU also existing canonically rather than just being an "easter egg" of sorts, there's never been any real clarification* on that. The same ambiguity currently applies to the black-cored crystals in this game. * Specifically, if a black crystal were to be used by an NPC, be received through a story event rather than an optional unlock, or appear in a non-game work of some kind, then it could safely be considered canon.

testszag Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Do these exist anywhere out of this game, in EU? I mean, are they canon, or canon now because of game? Also, how can they be made black? Thanks. gl himself made the darksaber. can't get more canon then that. as for "how they can be made black", gl said they can, so they can. i personally love em, and hope they plan on putting one in without the color surrounding them.

Rhadamanthine Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 wrong. the force unleashed (canon) has black sabers. and the way it works doesn't matter, the force works in mysterious ways Oh right, I forgot about the TFU games. But the last/one of the hardest to get saber customization options (there is only one grade of black saber too) is about as relevant as saying Darth Sion's double fights the Emperor thousands of years after his death because you can get the little DLC and fight Palpatine as him.

MasterAteos Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 they should make black lightsabers. silver ones to, while they're at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebazilly Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 they should make black lightsabers. silver ones to, while they're at it. There were silver lightsaber crystals in KotOR 2. They were just incredibly rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andge Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Black lightsabers are ugly and do not exist since black light (or energy) does not exist since black is nothing but the absence of light. The black lightsabers in the game are just yet another example of how dumb the people at BW are. Double-coloured lightsabers might have looked cool; purple and orange, red and white etc. But no, BW had to go with a combination that is ugly and - even within the rules of the universe - physically impossible. Kudos! Edited September 18, 2012 by Andge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos! I think black lightsabers would be awesome. Black is an absence of light, but also the combination of all colors. While white is the opposite. IMO if you call a pure black saber ugly then say a purp/orange would look cool then idk what to tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayla_Felana Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I think the 'black' lightsaber should never have been thought of, absolute ludicrousness IMO, was no need and it looks ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While white is the opposite. Err... when dealing with light, white is the "combination" of the entire color spectrum. Black is only that when dealing with subtractive color, which is only really relevant to paints, dyes and ink. Not light sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
