The Design Evolution of the Lightsaber

This infographic, created by someone called “Pest”, shows how the lightsaber changed over the years. I didn’t realize that there were so many colors. I prefer the manly shade of red for my own sidearm.

    Looks like he got the color of Mace Windu’s blade wrong. Sam Jackson insisted on a purple light saber, and Windu is the only character ever seen with one. He is never seen with a blue saber.

    Actually a number of these are wrong… Yoda definitely did not have a yellow blade. Whatever, still a cool graphic.

    Where’s Count Dooku’s saber? I loved the saber grip style he used.

    I believe this was made prior to the release of Attack of The Clones.

    I can’t believe I’m adding this comment…

    It didn’t take place “twenty jillion years into the future”, It took place a long time ago…

    This picture is from 1999, just letting everyone know that. Someone made it right after The Phantom Menace. At the time Yoda was going to (in future movies) have a yellow light saber, but later they realized yellow doesn’t show up well on film and this was before Sam Jackson requested his character have a purple one.
