For fans of Star Wars™ fans, at any age, there’s one question we all want answered: Which color Lightsaber would we have? Across the galaxy and in every star system, that unmistakable hum and whir wraps our ears in geeky wonder. And throughout nearly five decades of fandom, it’s no longer just green, blue, and red.

However, Lightsaber colors are just as mysterious as the Force itself. Young Force users are known to pick their own kyber crystal and construct their own handles. It’s all very personal. With the following questions, you can infuse your own kyber crystal and see what the universe sends your way. May the Force be with you.

Star Wars Lightsaber Color Meanings

Officially, only white and red lightsabers have canonical meanings behind them. The kyber crystals used in white Lightsabers have been purified whereas red kyber crystals have been infused with the user’s deep hatred. But based on the main characters who have wielded these various Lightsaber colors, inferences can be made about the person behind the weapon.

Which color calls to you?

Green Lightsaber

• Canon Example: Yoda, Luke Skywalker, Qui-Gon Jinn
• Side of the Force: Light

You value tradition and order. Peace is found through discipline and the best way to achieve that is to follow in the footsteps of the great leaders who came before you.

Blue Lightsaber

• Canon Example: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker
• Side of the Force: Light

Loyalty runs deep within you. You’re not against following orders if it means protecting those who you are important to you. People know having you on their side because it often ensures victory.

Yellow Lightsaber

• Canon Example: Rey
• Side of the Force: Light

For you, intuition rules everything. You’re an outsider who seeks community, and feels their way through the universe. No matter what, you’re in tune with your inner spirituality — a gift that few people ever learn to tame quite like you.

Purple Lightsaber

• Canon Example: Mace Windu, Vernestra Rwoh, Darth Revan
• Side of the Force: Balanced

While you might appear to follow the rules on the outside, your inner world is carefully crafted between light and dark. You’re aware that each needs the other in the grand scheme of things. That knowledge makes you stand out from the crowd at all times.

Orange Lightsaber

• Canon Example: Baylan Skoll, Shin Hati, Cal Kestis
• Side of the Force: Balanced(ish)

In all your choices, you strive to achieve balance but emotion often gets in the way. You possess the wisdom to temper your passion, but it’s not always a smooth process. More often than not, that same passion gets the better of you.

White Lightsaber

• Canon Example: Ahsoka Tano
• Side of the Force: Neutral

There’s nothing more important to you than forging your own path in life — even if that means others don’t understand you. Rest assured that the path you create will be the stuff of legends.

Red Lightsaber

• Canon Example: Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, Darth Nihilus, Darth Malgus … you get the picture
• Side of the Force: Dark

Please back away slowly from the Jedi Temple. There’s a seething, writhing rage deep within you, waiting for that final spark to ignite an inferno. Have you tried meditating?
