Why don't you talk about how the Jedi tried to commit genocide ^_^ true, and yet oddly i find myself drawn more to how star wars was originally conceived, as the archetypical battle between good and evil with clearly defined sides. for me, that's really what makes it fantasy. as we all know the realities of reality are quite different and much more abstract.

Eh, I always thought the jedi were the bad guys. Why make SW so simple when it can be so great. /sigh Needs to be a Sith oriented movie lol. And not by the jedi fanboy we know as Lucas lol.

By the time of the Clone Wars, saber crystals were coming exclusively from Ilum, which only produces green and blue. Mace Windu went way way out of his way to get his purple crystal. During The Old Republic, crystals come from many different locations, and therefore a much wider range of colors.

Quote: Originally Posted by LemmingLeader IMO, as a purist with the Star Wars movies, Red should only be with the Sith, and the other rainbow colors with the Jedi. Purple can be a sort of "gray area" with Dark Side aligned Jedi and Light Side aligned Sith. But that won't happen. As it stands right now, the lightsaber wielding Force user player characters in this game look like a colorful circus act. None of the traditional colors for the Jedi and most especially the Sith. When you see a group of Sith, they pretty much should be using Red lightsabers. In the Star Wars movies, the only point the Jedi used the other colors was because of a Padawan's tradition to finding a color crystal for your saber and all that, the weapon of a knight and blah... ... And red crystals can be produced, so it's much less work for a Sith if they just make their own crystal. What you're saying is completely wrong, unfortunately, though.

ON-TOPIC.. The only crystal being removed "for an indefinite period of time" (implying it will make a return) is white. Purples (available only at 50) are being inserted into Artifice at varying levels like their red, green, yellow, etc counterparts, if I have understood correctly. On that note, already-existing whites will not be removed. So grab one while you can if you want one.
