Who uses an orange lightsaber? I've heard Plo Koon does, but then i've heard that his saber is yellow...
The reason why i'm asking is because I have one of those crudpy $20 sabers that is orange with some wierd hilt.
EDIT: Crap... after posting this, I think this might belong in a different section.
Sorry mods.

Well, Plo Koon should have an orange saber, but thanks to the lazy FX team only green (looks yellowish at times) and blue are used in the arena battle (except Mace of course) I'm not sure who else uses an orange sbaer in the EU... one of the sabers for my Jedi made one... but that story's still in peices in my head.  |

Well....as far as canon is concerned...I don't think any of the Jedi have orange....
if you look at the arena battle on Geonosis when all the Jedi distributed throughout the areana and lightsabers light up...they are all green and blue...with the exception of Mace...
Adi Galia sports a red saber in the EU....but not on screen....
so, once again it is a matter of canon vs EU.....

Sorry mods. I have the same saber... the orange Hasbro one. I've heard that a different saber color was manufactured in order for there to be a wider assortment of colors for sale on the market... in other words, to give us more to buy. Well... I'll say it worked on me! I haven't heard anything about GL intending for Plo Koon to have a yellow or orange saber in the movies... but I'd be curious to know if anyone else has heard such a thing and where. I can see the reasoning behind the color limitations for the arena battle scene... Geonosis is such a ruddy environment, and yellow or orange blades just wouldn't be as visually effective. Not sure that I would call the ILM team lazy...  |

Yeah, OK, maybe they're not lazy- it was most likely just GL's call... but sabers aren't limited to those four colors in the EU. And sure, Lucas created Star Wars, but he doesn't control it.  Fact is there are many sources for info on the SW universe and one of the contributions of EU is other saber colors being available. However: as Schph Gochi said, "...as far as canon is concerned..." no jedi have yellow/orange sabers. But really, no one in here is a canon Jedi, so go with what you like |

Well, ultimately, GL and Lucasfilm do control Star Wars... everything in the EU has to be approved be GL himself, or someone representing him. Not to say there aren't multitudes of unliscenced products out there...  And yes, the EU does offer more of a selection of lightsaber colors... but remember that the Jedi Assembly is a canon costuming group... that is, anyone looking to become a full member must have either a movie canon or EU canon costume (blade color included). Refer to Article V. Costuming and Membership Requirements:
www.thejediassembly.com/jedicode.php?PHPSESSID=813b6c61acd684086afd8b1bbf53261fOf course if you aren't looking to become a full member any time soon, you're free to have any blade color or costume you want!  |

I've never figured out why,(well, he could be colour blind) but when my boss did my 1st Jedi pic & rotoscoped it for me, he gave me a YELLOW blade, but for some reason I liked it, so, I guess that's my only NON-CANON aberration, on the other hand, green is made from yellow & blue lights, so I guess the crystal is just purer than the one that makes the green blade & rarer than the one tthat makes it blue. And, Oh yeah, I have one of those orange ones too.

I believe I read somewhere recently that some of the original Star Wars toys included lightsabers with yellow blades.

I don't remember any yellow blades....but it could be possible...they released lightsabers in the "Droids" line way back in the 70's that I am not too familiar with...

Hey I think that some of the jedi should have orange blades I mean if they can have silver blades why not orange (silver blade introduced in KOTOR 2 just for anyone who didn't know). If you read my character profile he uses an orange lightsaber with a firebrand hilt.

And don't forget about Corran Horn's silver blade in the novel "I, Jedi".
