Wookiepedia has tabs for both Canon (Lucasfilm under Disney) and Legends (Old EU)
Yeah yeah.  I'm loathe to read about the "canon" origins of the Sith. If there even is one. |

Red is merely the natural color of a synthetic crystal. End of story.  (You can tell I'm actively avoiding a certain thread.  ) |

I don't know a ton about the EU, but the pre-Disney explanation of saber crystals was just fine with me. When I saw the new explanation of saber crystals was the first time I felt the hate you and many others feel about Disney. I held it back because I liked 7 and 8, but what they've done to the old cannon suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. |

I am fine with the new info on the crystals, as I've stated before. The more mysticism the better to me.
As for Disney Canon. The Sith were born during what was called the Hundred-Year Darkness (it is actually from the EU, just some of the finer details were stripped) When the First Rogue Jedi started amassing his following and began the Sith. it seems the overall outline of the Sith history is still similar. Details just need to be meshed out. Hell, the Sacking of Courscant (where Malgus destroyed the Jedi Temple) is technically canon

Still, I feel that the current so-called crystal canon is bogus and lame. I understand that, and I liked that explanation a lot better than the "bleeding" thing they have going right now.
Thank you. I am fine with the new info on the crystals, as I've stated before. The more mysticism the better to me.

Exactly my thoughts as well. I can tolerate change up to a certain point and the Disney cannon with the new crystals are really dumb. |

I actually agree with Tepes on this one. There has got to be a reason why only Jedi and Sith have lightsabers (I know there are exceptions, but as a general rule), and if lightsaber crystals could be made in a furnace (yes, I know it's more complicated than that, but I am proving a point), everyone in the galaxy would have one. The mysticism helps a lot IMO. |

Same reason why only Jedi and Sith have holocrons. It's about precise crystal formation by utilizing the Force. The synth-crystal process takes days of meditation to produce saber quality crystals. Similar process to producing factory made (I won't call them artificial). As for the production of sabers, only Force sensitives are capable due, again, precision assembly and crystal alignment, and micro-welds through the Force. This is why I have an issue that SWTOR movie with the twins building their first saber; they just drop it in and, boom, saber. WRONG! It's the Force. Mysticism enough. |

So your ok with the Force being utilized to create the saber, but a crystal being a conduit of the Force is too much? |

I have the same problem with that as I do putting Sith and Jedi holocrons together and knowing "everything". A light saber, albeit a complex piece of technology, is still just that: technology. It's a piece of hardware that can be used by anyone. |
