Is it true they are removing Lightsaber colors in 1.2?

Honestly, Its about diversity in my eyes. It would be boring running around, sith red, jedi Blue. They are giving us choices on what colors to pick. Deal with it

We hope this helps a little!

Sith with non-red (I'll allow purple) crystals are fail.

LOL thats funny. I suppose Palpatine was a Jedi for the 20 minutes he was in possession of Luke's Green saber in Episode 6?

The colours are symbols. If you're a jedi who turns to sith you obviously aren't going to pause mid scene, declare you've come to an emotional decision about where your loyalties lie, and then open up your sabre so that you can change the crystal so that for the transitional battle in your alignment shift from good to evil nobody is confused.

Your logic is the kind of facile nonsense that people use when they want to split hairs and ignore blatantly obvious facts. Good guys use Blue and Green, bad guys use Red. Thats how its always been and thats the symbolic divide. This kind of symbolism has always been important in Star Wars, which is basically a sci fi parable about good and evil.

People who want free form use of colours and themes for both sides should just say it, instead of claiming that everything which is actually consistent with the world of Star Wars is "Narrow Minded".

Totally disagree, that's a really narrow minded view.

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.

I understand the symbolism of the colors from the movies. However there is no splitting hairs. When applying the argument with the limitations of the game, those few moments int he movies, under the rules of the game, then they would not be able to wield the oppositions colored lightsaber for even a brief moment.

If anything is facile, it is that red = bad, blue/green = good. It is obviously ignoring anything from the Extended Universe. Especially when you support it with a fallacy like "That's how it's always been..." Obviously it is not how it has always been, especially if you can read about jedi that used non-traditional colors. Even the timeline videos show certain jedi falling to the darkside, yet still able to wield their original lightsabers instead of red. Go watch them, they're on this website.

I don't want free reign over colors, I want it how they presented the game with the Star Wars universe. But seriously, go watch the timeline videos and just see how these sith use non-red.

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.
