Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - EVERY Lightsaber Colour You Need To See

It's more than just blue and green...

EA

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order arrived late last week as the first single-player Star Wars game in nine whole years. Players have so far reacted warmly to the title, and in particular its many customisation options for protagonist Cal Kestis' own lightsaber, which allows players to choose from a range of emitters, switches, sleeves and materials to leave their mark on Star Wars' most iconic weapon.

It's a wonderful feature, but for all that getting to iron out all the little details with your hilt can be pretty rewarding, the main draw is obviously the Kyber crystal within. Said crystal emits the distinctive hue of the lightsaber itself, with the most famous obviously being blue, green and red. Those were the only three for quite a while, until the prequels emerged and further colours came along with them, including orange, yellow, and the now familiar purple that made Mace Windu's lightsaber so distinctive in Episodes II and III.

Fallen Order goes one step further though. Along with those more familiar colours, the game also resurrects crystals that were retconned out of existence - leaving players with an incredible variety of options from which to make their own version of Cal stand out compared to others...

SPOILER WARNING! Most of these colours don't become available until after the game's fifth chapter. Look away now if you don't wish to be spoiled!

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
