SITH LIGHTSABERS
The awesome comic, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith - Vol. 1 Imperial Machine, brings to us some new information about Sith Lightsabers. Ever notice that they are always red?
Sith do not create their own lightsabers. They must take a saber from a Jedi and make it their own.
The Sith blades are red and only red.
Why?
Palpatine explains that the kyber crystals that power the sabers are living things within the Force. This is backed up by the Rogue One novel (it was either that or Catalyst). The crystals are rock, but they are also alive.
In the hands of a Sith, the new owner uses the Dark Side to push all his pain into the crystal--until the crystal bleeds and turns the color of the beam red.
I just think that is all sorts of awesome!
