star wars - What color can lightsabers be?


I just saw the fan film Broken Allegiance and the Force-sensitive bounty-hunter, Korbain Thor, wielded an ochre lightsaber (or at least that's what the wiki entry described it as).


I'm just wondering if ochre is a canon color for a lightsaber?

Answer



Disney Canon


Lightsaber blades are powered by the Kyber Crystal it contains which gets its color from its being attuned to its owner. Most typically, they end up blue or green. Since the crystals were inherently attuned to the Light Side, Sith/Dark Side users were forced to "bend" the will of the crystals, making them "bleed", creating the red color. Currently, the only known colors are:



  • Black (The Dark Saber)

  • Blue (Obi-Wan's lightsaber)

  • Green (Yoda's lightsaber)

  • Purple (Mace Windu's lightsaber)

  • Red (Darth Vader/Darth Maul's lightsabers)

  • Silver (Tera Sinube's lightsaber)


  • White (Ashoka Tano's lightsaber)

  • Yellow (Jedi Temple Guards lightsabers)


Thus far, synthetic crystals have not appeared in the new canon. While Pablo Hidalgo, has said that his tweets should not necessarily be treated as canon, he has noted that "No, the synthetic crystal thing is Legends. Maul. Sidious. Vader. All those were kyber crystals."


So, in Disney Canon, there is no evidence that a lightsaber could be "ochre" specifically, but one of the "yellow" hues may come close.


Legends


Lightsaber colors are determined by the crystals used to power the blade. In more modern times, synthetic crystals were created and used instead of mining natural crystals. This made blades of almost any color possible.


That said, here are the known colors of lightsaber blades as per Wookieepedia.



  • Amber


  • Aqua (Galen Marek's modified lightsaber)

  • Azure (Nikkos Tyris's lightsaber)

  • Black (White with black core)

  • Blue (traditional Jedi lightsaber color)

  • Blue, w/ black core

  • Blue, Dark (such as Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, Kenobi's Legacy)

  • Blue, Icy (Permafrost crystal)

  • Blue, Jade

  • Bright Gold

  • Bronze (Bnar's Sacrifice)


  • Bronze w/ yellow core (Heart of the Guardian)

  • Brown

  • Carmine (Bane's Heart)

  • Clear (Barab ore)

  • Cobalt (One of Saesee Tiin's many lightsaber's)

  • Crimson (such as Adi Gallia's lightsaber in 32 BBY)

  • Cyan (such as Meetra Surik's lightsaber)

  • Cyan w/ silvery glow (Mantle of the Force)

  • Electric Blue

  • Emerald (such as Jacen Solo's lightsaber before his ascension to Sith Lord)


  • Gold (such as Qu Rahn's lightsaber)

  • Gray

  • Green

  • Green, Dark

  • Green, Jade

  • Green, Light

  • Green, Sage (Rahm Kota's lightsaber)

  • Green w/ black core (Dahgee crystal)

  • Indigo

  • Lava (Lava crystal)


  • Magenta (such as Mara Jade Skywalker's lightsaber)

  • Orange (such as Kyle Katarn in 10 ABY or Freedon Nadd) Pre Vizsla wielding his unique black-bladed Darksaber.

  • Pearl White (Krayt dragon pearl, Wisdom crystal)

  • Pewter(Raynar Thul's lightsaber)

  • Pink (Lambent)

  • Purple

  • Red (Darth Andeddu's Crystal, generic Sith/Dark Jedi lightsaber)

  • Red, w/ black core

  • Red, Blood (Qixoni crystal)

  • Red, Dark


  • Red, Light

  • Sapphire (Yarael Poof's lightsaber)

  • Scarlet (Depa Billaba's lightsaber)

  • Silver (Durindfire (crystal))

  • Silvery-blue

  • Silvery-green (Viridian crystal)

  • Teal (Sunrider's Destiny)

  • Transparent Blue (Pix's lightsaber)

  • Violet (such as Anakin Solo, Kyp Durron, and Jaina Solo's lightsabers)

  • Violet, Dark


  • Violet, Light

  • Viridian

  • White

  • Yellow (such as the new Impact Crystal, a Force Unleashed 2 Collectors Edition Exclusive, and Yun's lightsaber)

  • Yellow, Dark

  • Yellow, Light

  • Yellow-White (Nelani Dinn's lightsaber)

  • Yellowish-green (such as Ahsoka Tano's Shoto)

  • Yellowish-orange

  • Yellow w/ Black Core



As you can see, there is no "ochre" listed, but as Chetter pointed out, "ochre" can actually mean a few things. Without specifying a variant, "ochre" usually refers to a golden-yellow or a yellow-brown.


Ignoring synthetic crystals, there are two crystals which produce colors close to these shades:


Velmorite



Ulric's Redemption



To be fair, Ulric's Redemption is a little closer to brown than yellow.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

Is there good canon evidence for the "Nightmare Matrix"?

On the Matrix wiki, there's an article about the Nightmare Matrix which says: The Nightmare Matrix was the second prototype Matrix, designed by The Architect after the massive failure of the Paradise Matrix in the hope that human minds would more readily accept an imperfect world with suffering. Unlike the first version, this Matrix instituted a basic cause-and-effect programming and forcibly made those connected to it accept the program. Vamp Prime, a possible remnant of the Nightmare Matrix. It also featured programs that resembled mythical evil creatures in various human mythologies such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, etc. It also failed, but many of the programs who were designed for it survived deletion in exile. The Merovingian and his wife, Persephone may have had their roots in this version of the Matrix. Upon its failure, the Merovingian started a smuggling ring of programs and information to provide a haven for exiles that would last for 6 cycles in the final ...

I am from India, this anime or animated series (I can't remember this was made by the Japan or other countries) was aired between 2009 and 2012 probably in Jetix/Disney XD (but I'm not sure).

Some day he accidentally hire a creature/monster from that stone. Other day some creature attack him and he was saved by his creature and the story begins.

After that they meet with one girl and a women (one of the girls is same age with the main boy character and probably will become his partner as the story goes on). Another women probably Dante's partner. Four of them started their journey to collect all the stone/crystal. They are collecti...
