Shebee Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I always wondered, as a kid, why the Republic space vessels shoot red beams, instead of green, like the Imperial beams. Shouldn't the Republic use green beams, and the "bad" Empire red, not the other way round? You have probably noticed this in space missions, where Imperials will shoot green beams, and Republic ships will shoot red, just like in the movies. I know there are Jedi that use red light sabers, and some Sith who use other colors than green, but still, isn't the common idea that Empire = red, Republic = blue, green etc? Tell me if I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guildrum Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I always kind of wondered the same thing. I guess if Luke had used a red lightsaber in the OT, and Darth Vader used a green one, we'd think a little differently on the green/red alignment of "good guy"/"bad guy".

snooggums Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's because the red and green aren't really faction or alignment colors, they were used for emotional effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me if I'm wrong Republic is just as bad as the Empire. The Imps are just a little more vocal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
