Lightsaber Crystal's were deeply connected to the force, allowing the wielder of the blade to become deeply binded to it, almost in a symbiotic way. This connection to the force also allowed for some unique properties. Kyber crystals didn't just channel and focus energy, they amplified it. This was what allowed them to be used as the heart of a lightsaber, or as weapons of mass destruction, making these crystals highly sought after. However, kyber crystals from Illum were not the only kind of lightsaber crystal. As Luke Skywalker once pointed out, the flexibility and practicality of the lightsaber design meant that pretty much any crystal could be used to focus the beam of raw energy emitted from a lightsaber. However, some Crystals were far more sought after than others, largely due to the unique powers and properties of these rare lightsabers. Some crystals increased the heat of the blade, some granted the wielder additional powers, while others could increase the power of the user a thousand fold.


VF Sabers Essential Collection: https://vfsabers.com/collections/pre-...




In this video, we will discuss every single lightsaber crystal type from both canon and legends. As I did with the previous videos in this series, this video is vaguely ranked, this time from least to most powerful. So make sure to stick about towards the end of the video to learn about the rarest and most powerful lightsaber crystals. We'll be exploring just over 60 different Lightsaber crystals today and I think this is the most comprehensive video about lightsaber crystal types here on YouTube. So You'll probably want to grab a drink and a snack as this will be one of my longer videos.


This video also marks the start of my very first lightsaber giveaway. I'll be giving away a saber of your choice from VF sabers essential collection which I'll leave a link to down in the description. All you have to do to enter is like this video and subscribe with notifications on. You also have to tell me what your ideal lightsaber would look like down in the comments section of any of my next 15 videos. Myself and some of my mates will be picking out our favorite lightsaber idea as the winner so make sure to be as detailed as possible. I've commented my ideal lightsaber design down below to give you guys some ideas. Best of luck everyone and may the force be with you.




Anyway, back to the video.




There are quite a few differences between canon and legends when it comes to lightsaber crystals. In canon, Kyber crystals were clear until they were attuned to the user. After the wielder had bonded with the Kyber crystal, it would take on one of the myriad of different lightsaber colours we explored the meanings of in this video.


However, in legends the lightsaber crystal already had its colouration and was simply chosen by the wielder. But just bare in mind for this video that there are some differences between canon, newer legends and older legends lightsaber crystals, which can lead to a few confusing inconsistencies. Many of the legends crystals are also from computer games such as Star Wars Galaxies And The Force unleashed. At times they can be pretty wacky and unique such as the lightsaber crystal that would simultaneously freeze and burn opponents that we will discuss in a bit. My head canon is that these crystals got many of their insane powers through the force, similar to Sith alchemy, but just bear in mind that some legends crystals powers often don't make a lot of sense, especially when compared to the new canon Kyber cystals.




Now we've got that out of the way, we can begin.




First we will start with the weakest lightsaber crystals, which were most often used in training lightsabers. These crystals could not focus the blades energy as well as the other lightsaber crystals on this list and thus would produce a blade more that would sting or a stun rather than maim or cut. There were a few crystals that could be used in this type of blade. The first were Bondar Crystal's, found only in the far orbit of the Alderan system. The weakest and most common form of Adegan crystals could also be used but we'll talk about them a bit more in just a moment.




First we must talk about some of the lightsaber crystals that were worse than a regular Kyber crystal that one could find on planets such as Illum. One example of this would be the lightsaber crystal used by the Daghee Jedi. This blade was zigzagged in shape, was coloured black and silver while emitting a turquoise aura. Although it looks cool, the shape of the blade was likely quite inconvenient for duelling and may have been more of a ceremonial blade. Therefore, I've placed this saber towards the bottom in terms of power, even though I believe it to be one of the most unique looking sabers.
