"A Rainbow Lightsaber? Miners on Ilum Say It's Possible"

The rainbow lightsaber was a hypothesized type of lightsaber the blade of which was horizontally divided into variable-width bands of multiple colors.^[1] By approximately 179 BBY,^[2] the title of a news report by the Galaxy Feed periodical claimed that miners on Ilum,^[1] a planet in the Unknown Regions that served as the primary source of kyber crystals used in lightsaber construction,^[3] described the design of the rainbow lightsaber as "possible." The news report also included an illustration of the theoretical lightsaber variation.^[1]
