Is it true they are removing Lightsaber colors in 1.2?

Not really. I mean look at the sacking of Coruscant trailer. Even Bioware went with Red= Sith, Blue & Green = Jedi.

I don't know what SWOTOR 2 is. However, I do know the Knights of the Old Republic 2 was made by another developer, Obsidian, that is great for making new games by using some already developed game engine. This being that way, they did not use any events from KotOR 2 at all for coming up with their new game The Old Republic. I figured the Revan novel would shed a little light on what happened.

Also using what you just wrote, he could never have met the true sith. There are no actual pureblooded sith around anymore.

Then should Chiss not be in the game?

Not to mention Miraluka or Mirialan, though there may have been 1 mirialan.

Rarely.

A Sith follows hardly any rules but his own. You're not going to tell me a Sith couldn't break tradition and use any colour saber he damn pleased. To restrict crystals in such a way when the Empire has a clear presence on Ilum, where blue and green can be found, is not only silly in a lore sense, it's silly in a gaming sense. A developer should *always* enable customisation.

Likewise, Jedi have been seen using every colour saber we know of, to my knowledge, albeit not in this period. "Oh, that's only a few cases," you may object, but consider: the character is also an elite, one-of-a-kind Jedi. We deserve all the options we've seen in terms of that.

It's stupider to assume every single member of a species must behave in an exact way. I can't think of one trait every human that has ever existed shares.

Jedi could use Sith colours anyways. Mace had a purple saber, Adi Gallia had a red saber, etc. Conversely, darksiders used other colours than red. Exar Kun used blue, Ulic Qel-Droma was shown with red, blue, yellow, and green at varying times, etc.

The movies are stand alone, nothing more then a story about the rise, fall, and rise again of Anakin Skywalker, with little to no references to anything of the past. There has been a whole extended universe that has been created based on the works of George Lucas, with his permission though he didnt use the Extended universe for his movies, where the stories of the Movies have been put into the extended Universe, but the extended universe is still just based on George Lucas creation and has a lore unto it self.

SWTOR is a part of this Extended universe and uses the lore of the extended universe, and in the lore Light Saber colors are a preference of the user.

It was wrong based on the lore by which this game was created on to have the restrictions in the first place.

Ok, listen up, movie "purists". I can say this once. While the traditional colors of the Jedi have been blue and green since the OT, they are by NO MEANS mandatory. Also, while the traditional colors of the Sith have always been red, and purple to some extent, they are also by NO MEANS mandatory.

Now, there have been Jedi who used different colored lightsabers, even in the movies. *cough* Mace Wndu and Plo Koon *cough*. So yeah, I don't wanna hear that noise that ALL Jedi sabers HAVE to be either blue or green or it's against canon or that ALL Sith sabers HAVE to be red or purple or it's against canon *cough* Exar Kun *cough*. So if you're gonna QQ, please QQ early and often! I will lick those sweet sweet tears from your faces.

Consider that Kreia had no idea what she was talking about. She never met Revan again after his apprenticeship, and was assuming his motives based on very, very little knowledge.

You do realize this game takes place a few THOUSAND years before the movies, right?

In 1776 the British Army wore red coats and carried muskets. In the 1860s the U.S. Army wore blue jackets.

Neither one wears those uniforms now. They have radically different uniforms and weapons. They don't ride horses any more.

And that was only two to three HUNDRED years ago.

Things change. Customs and traditions change over that long a period of time.

Not to mention the fact that the movies had what - four Sith total? And I don't remember Palpatine or Dooku using light sabers at all (I haven't seen those awful prequels in a while). You can't really conjecture what the Sith did thousands of years in the past based on what 2-4 individuals did.
