A Jedi with a yellow lightsaber is most commonly associated with the Jedi Sentinel (but not exclusively—more on that later). As you may know already, the Sentinels form one of the three “schools” of the Jedi Order, constituting a sort of middle way between the Consulars and the Guardians.
Yellow lightsabers on Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The yellow lightsaber is most commonly seen in the Jedi Temple Guards' pikes on the Star Wars animated series The Clone Wars. The Temple Guards wield double-bladed yellow sabers, much like the dual-ended red weapon Darth Maul hefted before it was sliced in half.
Yellow is perhaps the most misunderstood of the original set. The color, when used in double-bladed lightsaber pikes, is exclusively used by Jedi Temple guards, either intentionally to distinguish them, or by the crystal choosing who should be a temple guard.
Yes. In Canon, The Jedi Temple Guards use double-bladed yellow lightsabers. In Legends, Jedi Master Yarael Poof was one of the Jedi to have yellow lightsabers.
At the end of the film, Rey returns to Luke's home on Tatooine, where she buries Luke and Leia's lightsabers, then reveals her own—decked out with a golden-yellow blade, a hilt that looks like it might've been crafted from her staff, and a cigarette-lighter-looking switch that turns it on.
This article is about the yellow lightsaber constructed by Rey Skywalker. You may be looking for the Skywalker lightsaber or Leia's lightsaber, two other lightsabers used by Rey. Rey's lightsaber was a yellow-bladed lightsaber that was constructed by the Jedi Rey Skywalker following the First Order-Resistance War.
Leia's lightsaber was a blue-bladed lightsaber used by Princess Leia Organa during her time as a Jedi Padawan training under her brother Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker.
Black is the rarest lightsaber color in the world of Star Wars. For a while, the only known black lightsaber was the Darksaber, forged a thousand years ago and owned by a Mandalorian Jedi. However, the High Republic era revealed that at least one more Jedi had a black lightsaber.
A crystal embodies the Jedi as the heart of the lightsaber, and pure kyber has no color until it's bonded to the Force user. This process likely resulted in Rey Skywalker's lightsaber being yellow.
Purple itself is considered the most powerful lightsaber color in the Star Wars galaxy. Very few Jedi have ever wielded a lightsaber of this color. The only two people known to have wielded a purple lightsaber are Mace Windu and Darth Revan in the past.
Without a doubt, the most notable Jedi with a purple saber is Mace Windu, portrayed in the prequel trilogy by Samuel L. Jackson. Audiences first got a glimpse of the unusual blade in Episode II: Attack of the Clones, making Windu the coolest Jedi in one cinematic moment.
Rey reforged her lightsaber during the First Order-Resistance War, so when she did it, maybe she picked a yellow lightsaber because she wants to carry on the legacy of the Jedi Sentinels from ages past? After all, the Jedi Sentinels were chosen from the best of the best of Jedi Knights.
Silver Lightsabers
In Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi uses a silver lightsaber when he faces off against his former apprentice, Darth Vader. This represents the end of Kenobi's time as a Jedi and the beginning of his new role as a protector of peace.
Luke Skywalker's lightsaber was originally pink in the original Star Wars comics. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader both used pink lightsabers in their war against each other. Pink lightsabers have a greater frequency in comparison to the other common colors of lightsabers, making them more powerful.
The shading purple speaks to moral uncertainty, reconstruction, and recovery. Therefore, the individuals that used a purple lightsaber generally shared an affinity with both the Light and Dark sides of the Force.
The Darksaber goes back to the time of Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian to become a Jedi Knight. He created a one-of-a-kind lightsaber with a flat blade of dark, swirling energy. In the Star Wars Rebels episode “Trials of the Darksaber,” Fenn Rau shared more of the Mandalorian folklore surrounding the weapon.
The lightsaber's redesign was a byproduct of the bleeding process that damaged its kyber crystal, rendering it dangerously flawed and unstable, and necessitating the lateral vents were meant to prevent the cracked kyber crystal from overloading.
Yoda's lightsaber was smaller than a standard Jedi lightsaber, befitting his shorter stature. But its green plasma blade was every bit as deadly in combat.
Kylo Ren's lightsaber form was something of a hybrid, which blended three styles together: Djem So, Juyo, and Niman.
This single-bladed turquoise lightsaber was used by Tenel Ka Djo, a member of Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order. It was built in 23 ABY on the fourth moon of Yavin Prime, and the second of two very similar weapons.
It appears rarely in the Star Wars universe—so rarely, in fact, that the current canon recognizes only one carrier of a white lightsaber. Ahsoka Tano, the former Jedi Padawan who aided in the rebellion against the Galactic Empire, is acknowledged as the sole possessor of the white lightsaber.
Luke Skywalker's lightsaber was changed from blue to green when they were filming because it was difficult to see. This became apparent during act one of Return of the Jedi when the battle on Jabba the Hutt's sail barge was shot during the day. The blue lightsaber blended in with the clear blue sky.
After the duel, in which Padmé was victorious, the weapon was wielded by Skywalker for the rest of the Clone Wars. Padmé used this lightsaber for many battles to come.
Anakin Solo's lightsaber was a violet-bladed lightsaber that was created and wielded by the Jedi Knight Anakin Solo during the Yuuzhan Vong War.
