    I prefer the canon kyber crystal lore. Bleeding a crystal makes more sense than all red kyber crystals being synthetic.

    Imagine how unstable and OP a red crystal would be if anakin poured his pain and anger into it right after losing all his limbs and being set on fire then finding out about his wife.

    Because he didn’t have time obviously. He’d only just turned to the dark side and immediately was tasked with killing the Jedi, killing the separatists and fighting obi wan in just 1 day

    That one high republic dude in Jedi survivor bled his crystal in like two seconds

    I really like the video and I dont want be that guy but the title really didnt have to be phrased like that. It was never about why he didnt "want" a red lightsaber it was just about why he didnt "have" one on mustafar.

    • @RetneysHolocron
      @RetneysHolocron  Před 15 dny +2

      I get what you're saying. I was referring to the Legends theory in the video where it talks about how Anakin may have preferred to keep his blue saber so he could surprise the Jedi in the temple, so that's why he "didn't want" a red saber

    What’s ironic is that in the alternative ending for the Revenge of the Sith video game, Palpatine gave Anakin a red lightsaber with even a hilt that looked very similar to his lightsaber he ended up getting as Vader. The other part of the irony is that he killed Palpatine the moment he gave him his weapon and he became the Emperor.

    I always saw it as a poetic reason, the jedi falling to a color they have used for years. A form of irony

    The reason that Sith have to bleed kyber crystals is that they can’t bond with natural kyber crystals. Anakin’s crystal was already bonded to him and so he could still use it. I imagine the bond would have grown weaker and weaker as he fell farther to the Dark Side (perhaps affecting his duel with Kenobi) and he eventually would have had to bleed his crystal to maintain the connection had he not lost the saber in his duel. I think Dagan Gera is a good example, he used his yellow lightsaber all the way up until he was put in to stasis. When he came out of stasis, he probably felt that he couldn’t connect with his crystal anymore and so he had to bleed it right away.

  • @elonkush8013
    @elonkush8013 Před 14 dny

    Its secretly because of the orange/red backround on mustafar so the duel scenes would pop more with the blue color, plus they had to move fast, it all took place in quick secession

  • @Bigoldietz
    @Bigoldietz Před 15 dny +10

    Palpatine probably would have forced him to have a red or purple light saber but blue and green represented the light side too much and could possibly make anakin rethink his actions

  • @John.Philip.Tan876
    @John.Philip.Tan876 Před 15 dny +7

    I also believe he was thinking of just learning what Palpatine knew about manipulating life, kill him and move on. I don't think he fully intended to really be a Sith Lord long term at that point.

    Passing over a blue lightsaber to Luke could have been accomplished another way. Whenever general grievous took Anakin's they could have written it to where Anakin spending his time releasing palpatine doesn't get a chance to get it back. Whenever Obi-Wan fights general grievous Anakin's is one of the four lightsabers he uses and from that Obi-Wan retrieves it. Anakin gets The red one from palpatine or he constructs one corrupting Qui-Gons crystal and developing a new hilt.

    Soo silly. Does one, who is enthusiastic about Star Wars, not understand the kyber crystal calls to its owner. A red crystal is derived out of the pure Darkness within.
    You do this through suffering…
    Skywalker, in form of Vader, acclaimed to have killed Anakin off in spirit. He tried, but he is the “chosen one”. That Light inside wasn’t meant to never be extinguished.
    That is his path. Not yours to assume. fabricating a false belief within people, who are too blind and ignorant to understand.
    There is No ignorance, there is knowledge.
    but whoever the publisher is strayed among the darkside🫶🏼

      @JR-ol9pc As a die hard fan of legends and canon I realize that there are many opinions and questions about the Star Wars Universe as a whole that have/or have not been answered so it's cool to hear all the fans having their own opinions or take on different subjects and would never call someone's video dumb as it creates a toxic environment in the SW Universe and keeps fans from fully enjoying the Universe. Could have easily been a "I disagree" response and maybe reasons why to start a fun back and forth.

Why isn’t his lightsaber red? He’s a bad guy so his needs to be red!” This isn’t even a question that needs to be answered or asked because it’s pretty fucking obvious
