daily topic: Kyber crystals

Kyber crystals are the key component in lightsabers as they are what project the laser itself and makes it take a unique color. Without a kyber crystal, a lightsaber would be a useless metal handle. There are many uses for kyber crystals in the star wars universe besides being the key in lightsabers. Kyber crystals can be used as a power source and amplifier for lasers a key example being the death star. Kyber crystals have also been shown to be connected to the force. Sith dominate their kyber crystals which causes them to "bleed" and turn red therefore giving the Sith their trademark red lightsabers. A force user can "heal" a red kyber crystal causing it to turn white again. Ahsoka Tano did this when she healed two red crystals from an inquisitors lightsaber.


There is your daily star wars topic for today. I will also be posting a long discussion on the concept of Gray Jedi. Until then, may the force be with you!

Cross guard lightsabers

Image
In the Force Awakens, everyone got introduced to the new villain, Kylo Ren, whose lightsaber made him unique. What if I were to tell you it wasn't and in was in fact part of a battle on the planet Malachor. The cross guard lightsaber was originally created during a battle called the Scourge of Malachor in which Jedi and Sith both fought with the verge of a super weapon being unleashed. The cross guard lightsaber had to have a cracked kyber crystal in order for the lightsaber to actually work. The way this works is that the cracked kyber crystal needs to vent excess energy, so in order to do so, vents are created on the side which give this lightsaber a more traditional sword look. See the venting of the energy near the crystal There have been only 2 cross guard lightsabers show in star wars canon. One of them was found on the planet Malachor by Ezra Bridger, the blade lasted for about 5 seconds before sputtering out. So thats all for cross guard lightsabers, May the ...

Daily Topic: Project Blackwing/ Imperial Bioweapon project 71a

Image
In most popular communities/Fandoms there seems to always be a zombie like creature a one point or another. Star Wars is one of those. "Darth Drear wrote that he had found an elixir for staving off death itself, the ingredients of which he recorded in the Holocron-including of course your beloved orchid. The mixture was complete in and of itself, with a single flaw-the inevitable dissolution of the tissue" -Darth Scabrous The Sickness, later being known as Imperial Bio-weapons Project I71a, was a disease created by the process of Sith Alchemy. The disease targeted the victims biological tissue and destroyed it and in the process turned victims into undead monsters. Originally created by Darth Drear on the planet Odacer-Faustin, the disease was intended to give immortality to its maker, Drear failed multiple times and eventually fell victim to his own creation. One thousand years later, the Sith lord Darth Scabrous attempted to recreate the virus, hoping to succeed w...

Nexuses of The Force

Image
In the Star Wars universe, there are a select few planets in which the Force is very strong in. Many of these planets are places where either the light or dark side strongly resides in. Here are a few of the nexuses that I know of. Mortis I already covered this location in my Force Wielders post, but I didn't go over the location itself. When 3 Jedi visited the location (see Force wielders for the specific jedi) one of them asked another if they could sense how strong the force was in Mortis and how much stronger it is in mortis than in anywhere else. This is understandable as it was the home of the 3 Force Wielders.  Dagobah Dagobah, one of the major planets in the original Star Wars trilogy is another planet that is strong in the force. This is one of the main reasons why it is so easy for force ghosts like Ben and Qui-gon. This is also why Yoda chose to stay here during his exile due to it's strong connection to the Force. There is a cave in Dagobah in which th...
