Green blades were for Jedi Consulars, who studied the mysteries of the Force. In these games, blue blades represented Jedi Guardians, who focus on combat. Additionally, the various “natural” Jedi blade colors in Legends had different meanings in the Knights of the Old Republic video games. A Kyber can only be found naturally and bond with a Force user, which is why Sith use the unnatural dark side’s power to corrupt them into submission. This same theme applies to Kyber crystals in canon. The few non-synthetic red crystals are typically imbued with the unnatural dark side, further emphasizing red as the traditional color of Sith weapons. Since personal choice is a factor in blade color in Legends, Luke and his Jedi unsurprisingly use traditional Jedi colors like green and blue in most cases. When Jedi, like lightsaber duel champion Luke and his students, have no choice but to create lightsaber crystals, they do so using the natural and balanced power of the Force. The Sith traditionally synthesize their crystals with both technology and the unnatural power of the dark side, with almost uniformly red-bladed weapons. Jedi travel to worlds like Ilum or Hurrikaine to obtain their gems. Lightsaber blade colors, like the Jedi and Sith, represent the Star Wars franchise’s theme of “natural” vs “unnatural.” In Legends, the blade colors that Jedi use typically come from naturally-derived lightsaber crystals. Nearly all members of Luke’s New Jedi Order used Synth-crystals in their lightsabers, and though their blade colors were more varied than the old Jedi Order, red was still a rarity among them. Luke created it with the Force, rather than the dark side, which resulted in a green crystal and blade. During the reign of the Empire, one of nine factions in the Skywalker Saga, nearly every natural source of lightsaber crystals was destroyed, leading Luke to make a Synth-crystal when constructing his lightsaber. Synth-crystals were nearly always red when created by Sith, making red-bladed lightsabers their traditional weapons.
Red lightsaber crystals are rare in Legends, and Sith typically use Synthetic lightsaber crystals, which they create using machinery and the dark side of the Force. Mace Windu uses a unique crystal that he found on the planet Hurrikaine, which gives his weapon its distinctive purple blade. Other colors are rare, but not unheard of. Adegan crystals are blue or green, which is why most Jedi in the films use those blade colors. In Legends, lightsaber crystals glow in a specific color, which is what the lightsaber blade will be once the weapon is built. There are numerous types of lightsaber crystals found throughout the galaxy, but the most popular among Jedi, especially the prequel-era Jedi Order, were the Adegan crystals found on Ilum. In the Legends continuity, all lightsabers are powered by Force-imbued crystals.
