Breaking Ranks Appearance

Although we never actually see the crystal in Breaking Ranks, would it be alright to change it from (Mentioned only) to (Appears as explosion) or (Explosion only) or something along those lines? We see the explosion of the crystal in detail so it's not like we never see any sign of the crystal at all in the entire episode. Cevan (talk) 23:41, November 4, 2014 (UTC)

  • I would think... maybe, I think an explosion may very well be considerd as part of the crystal as it is part of how the crystal physically functions, and something that is unique to the crystal, and thus part of the crystal in a sense. ralok (talk) 00:55, November 5, 2014 (UTC)

Any relation to

...the Kaiburr crystal (perhaps as a "Bts" or "See also")? - Esjs (Talk to me) 05:42, November 7, 2014 (UTC)

They are both derived from thesame concept in one of George Lucases earlier versions ofStar Warswhich had the force being derived and channeled through crystals called Kaiiburr crystals... I think, I am not up to speed with the Star Wars histories. ralok (talk) 14:11, November 7, 2014 (UTC)
It might be worth waiting for an official article which we can summarize on the history of the crystals in the development of SW lore, as we're talking effectively a merger of several Legends concepts, like lightsaber crystals and superlasers. --Alientraveller (talk) 17:50, November 7, 2014 (UTC)
Coincidence? In my experience, there's no such thing as luck. i added a disambiguation which was reverted but i'm putting it back with a link to this discussion. Even if (or maybe especially if) no official source says the crystals are related to each other (canonically or behind the scenes), i still think the names look and sound sufficiently similar that someone should point out there's a difference. Otherwise, readers looking for information about one may only be able to find the other, while well-meaning editors mistakenly add info to the wrong articles. signed, R2-71.121.143.192 00:05, August 24, 2016 (UTC)

Eight kyber crystals in the Death Star

So it's just been confirmed in the latest Rebels Report (http://youtu.be/s8_PCwya0do) that the Death Star utilizes eight giant kyber crystals to power the superlaser. Should we count Eps. IV and VI in the appearances section, but put (Superlaser only) or something? Cevan (talk) 02:02, November 12, 2014 (UTC)

Sources

So we have Kylo Ren using a Kyber crystal in written lore, but the cited source has other implications (that synthetic crystals are no longer a thing). However, Pablo Hidalgo's twitter page specifically says "Don't cite tweets as canon."[1]. So how is that reconciled here? Thanks

"Kaiburr crystal" mention?

Where is the term "kaiburr crystal" mentioned in the Rogue One Rebel Dossier? I can't check my own copy for the time being. --Lelal Mekha The Uprising crest (Audience Room) 14:42, January 21, 2017 (UTC)

  • It's in the mission overview section, in the depiction of Jedha City found just a couple pages later (after the secondary mission objectives). Cevan IMPpress (talk) 22:13, January 22, 2017 (UTC)
    • Could you, perchance, quote the exact phrase? That would help me a great deal. :) --Lelal Mekha The Uprising crest (Audience Room) 22:46, January 22, 2017 (UTC)

Canon

Disney is NOT "Canon". Please stop saying that it is the New Canon. If George Lucas didn't sign off on it [arg - yes, even jar jar binks] then say so. There is no such thing as New Canon, that is an Oxymoron. If it is a Disney [Episode 3.99, VII, or Rebels] reference then say Disney. Also, let's stop acting like the 1st Wiki site and get upset and delete when you're corrected. Unless this site/page has been bought out by Disney or, you've started "drinking the Disney Kool-Aid", let people who are trying to find actual/authentic Star Wars Information find it under a "Canon" tab, "Legends" tab or a "Disney" Tab. 107.167.108.73 13:47, January 22, 2017 (UTC) NOS482.

  • Considering the Story Group, not George Lucas, are now the official word on what's canon we go with what they say. Overlordjeff (talk) 17:44, January 22, 2017 (UTC)
  • You don't seem to understand how it works. After Disney bought Star Wars in late 2012, they tasked the Lucasfilm Story Group with maintaining a new cohesive timeline. In 2014, the put everything but the six saga films and The Clone Wars under the new banner of "Legends." A new canon timeline was then started up. The canon timeline currently consists of the seven saga films, Rogue One, The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and everything else released after April 2014 (except The Old Republic DLC). The vast majority of Star Wars fans have accepted this new form of canon, so your proposition would be in no-one's interest. I get that you may be annoyed that the old continuity was pushed aside, but the new one is still forming, they're not going to completely abandon or retcon the most popular stuff. And with a dedicated group managing the continuity, we'll have a more cohesive and hopefully higher quality timeline of stories. -- Dr. Porter Resistance starbird (Talk|Contribs) 22:04, January 22, 2017 (UTC)

Lightsaber blade\ Kyber crystal colors

Ok, in the old canon, a lightsaber blade's color depended on the focusing crystal, which could have been a lot of different crystals besides the Kayber, so basically, the crystal's own color gave color to the blade. Now, what's the new-canon explanation for the saber colors? I read somewhere, that in the Ahsoka novel (the one where she explains how she got to where was in Rebels), she explains that one's spiritual alignment influences the color of a lightsaber, so the Sith, by relying on anger, have red lightsabers; the Jedi have blue because of their serenity or whatnot; and she, being a neutral character, has gray\ white sabers. But this doesn't explain the old alien Jedi's white saber (the one whom Ahsoka teamed up with to investigate some crime in TCW), or Mace Windu's purple saber (and don't give me that "it was S.M. Jackson's wish to have a purple saber because it's his favorite color!" bs, because that's an out-of-universe explanation), or the Jedi green sabers, or even the Jedi Temple Guard's yellow sabers. So, do Kyber crystals come in different colors too, or is there something else?--92.114.148.141 00:46, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

Orange crystal

Is it ok for me to add orange to the list due to its appearance as a pre-order bonus for the Jedi: Fallen Order video game? Regards Imperial Emblem Tomotron Imp roundel 2ndempire (talk) 13:22, July 8, 2019 (UTC)

Colors

My revisions were undone by DarthRuiz30 so I'm opening discussion here. I removed the superfluous and arbitrary examples of lightsabers of a certain color and added references in their place. It seems like that is the kind of thing that should maybe be in a category for informational purposes or backed up by reference rather than linking to other articles for supporting purposes. Additionally, I can't find any use of "Crimson" being used to describe any red lightsaber, and there is no citation to support its inclusion. Same goes for "teal." For one thing, teal is a much darker color. The reference cited for it is clearly a very bright cyan color, and the comic issue does not use the term teal either. I added this reference to cyan. The term "yellow-green" is also not supported anywhere. I changed it to chartreuse, the standard color name for the color described in the citation ("a very yellow green").

Question about Adegan crystals

If pontite is related to mephite as an Adegan crystal, shouldn't it be moved to under mephite in the Adegan crystal sublisting of known kyber crystal types? --Reikson (talk) 03:40, January 29, 2020 (UTC)

Ahsoka's Yellow-Green

As literally stated in the cited QnA: "Her blade is green, though – a  very yellow green. Some say it looks more yellow than green, but it’s green. Trust me." It does not belong belong under yellow, it's quite clearly stated a sub-color of green. WOLKsite (talk) 10:04, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Reformatting of the "List of Crystal Colors" section

currently, the section listing the color of kyber crystals, structure-wise, is a mess, and a bit of an eyesore. the legends equivilent of the page does the job infinitely better- could i have permission to alter the canon page's list of colors to have a similar structure to the legends page, or at the very least make it more aesthetically pleasing?BearInsanity (talk) 04:41, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

  • To be clear you don't need to ask for permission, but ideally the sections should be in paragraphs instead of just lists Lewisr (talk) 05:25, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Chemistry - deep substrate foliated Kalkite of Ghorman

Andor S2:E1 One Year Later 28:19 Citing the Emperors Energy Initiative it is revealed that Ghorman in the outer rim has been targeted for mining the mineral deep substrate foliated Kalkite.

Fan fiction would suggest foliation occurs under tremendous pressure liquefied in contact with organic carbonoids, calciumids and phosphorids then crystalize semi-organic lattice matrix which began cooling a long long time ago. When observed by the sentient its meta-state becomes locked, hardened to imprint upon the observer. Mediclorians affect the lattice formation to determine its field strength.

So, I am going to include this in the article, but likely in the wrong place. Where would be the best position witin the Kyber crystal artical for noting Kyber Chemistry? Phone Wiki Administrator (DisneyWizard|M|T|C|EGTA-IJ-Ph-RCT) 07:03, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

  • You self admit that it's fan fiction so that should not be added onto Wookieepedia per policy. It can only be added if the information in mentioned in an official source Lewisr (talk) 18:55, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
