Title: Colors
Post by: BatMike90 on November 27, 2018, 04:48:08 PM
What is the color most associated with the Jedi Order? In Clone Wars, most of the armor had a red logo. Am I the only one who finds this to be weird, for lack of a better word.

I think the symbol was red just to make it stand out. Not sure if there was any special meaning to it or anything.

From a design stand point, I can agree with red as the color.  But as an in universe answer, it has to mean something...I just haven't found the answer.

Agreeing with Golden Fedora as to the behind-the-scenes reason as to color choice. In-universe, it's a stretch but some of the clone armor had a ton of red in it, might be the reason. It would have probably made more sense for the logo to be blue, that color just screams Jedi to me.

That is what I am saying....

Red was the color of the Republic. It was all over the outside of the capitol ships and was the main color of the Republic flag during the Clone Wars time. It could be the Jedi wore red emblems on their uniforms to signify that they were serving no only the Jedi order, but also the Republic. That seems as likely a reason as any to me.

Thank you. This is the best answer I have recieved so far.

That was my take on it. Well said, SFD

I think scifidude79 has got it. Totally forgot how obviously red all the ships were.

Yeah, that was one of the first things Palpatine did as emperor, was have the ships repainted. The Star Destroyers at the end of ROTS are plain white.

Exactly. He wiped off everything to Republic stood for and represented

shame. The Imperial Star Destroyers would have looked nice with a bit more paint on them. maybe a big Imperial cog right on the center line

I found this link from Wookiepedia:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Color/Legends (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Color/Legends)

But it really does not answer my question, instead, gives me a whole bunch of others.
