Info
This is just a carbon copy of Meetra Surik's page, from the "The Dark Wars" section down. It contains no information about her lightsaber, other than to incorrectly state that Bao Dur created it. He didn't, he just identified which components she needed. Jayden Matthews 19:48, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

I've read the Revan novel but I was skimming through it again yesterday and when Meetra first encounters Scourge, her lightsaber has a blue blade...anyone confirm this? 90.198.122.154 12:59, April 5, 2012 (UTC)
I can confirm that. In The Old Republic: Revan. It states that Meetra's Lightsaber Colour. Is Blue: I type from the book: "THE INSTANT THE BLUE-BLADED lightsaber had materialized in the human female's hand, Scourge realized she was a Jedi." The article and corresponding Article's need changing. Her second Lightsaber is Blue.(Cryorex 03:08, June 19, 2012 (UTC))
Just added the info didn't need to be corrected. DarthRevan1173 03:16, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
It still has Cyan in the information. It's not Cyan, her second Lightsaber is Blue. (Cryorex 15:25, June 19, 2012 (UTC))
- The picture featured in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia has the cyan blade and is canon. At this point, both colors are canon, and we should reflect this fact. It is not improbable, you know. Surik may well have changed the color crystal at some point. --LelalMekha 15:30, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to re-open this for discussion. There's a couple problems with declaring the cyan blade canonical (or 'Legends' canonical, if you prefer). Taking the image used in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia at face value presents more questions than answers. First, the image is not placed in any context within the encyclopedia. We know anecdotally that this scene depicts her fighting Krei (thus, her 'second lightsaber'). But if we take that context from the original image, we're using fan art as canon. Using only the encyclopedia as a source, there is no way to establish if the editor intended this to be Surik fighting Krei, or simply Surik at any other time (such as during the war, making it her first lightsaber). 'Cyan' is listed as canon under both lightsaber articles on Wookiepedia based on the same image. At the very least, we can say that the image does not simultaneously represent both lightsabers. Secondly, (a superficial argument, but too damning to exclude) the image printed in CSWE is significantly darker than the original ( it didn't want to upload: http://www.rpcentral.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/meetra.png ) and could easily be called "blue". It was possibly even edited specifically to look more blue. The only way we can fairly call it cyan is if we again use the original fan art as source and not the encyclopedia. At the very least, the color of her first light-saber is wholly undetermined. The second lightsaber is canonically referred to as "blue-bladed", but it could be considered cyan by a stretch, but is there a strong enough argument to stretch?

- (See User_talk:Scoundr3l#CSWE_and_the_Exile.27s_lightsaber for context) That image is slightly darker than the printed CSWE, while File:Exilefemale2.jpg is slightly lighter than the CSWE. I'd say the actual image in the CSWE is about halfway between the rpcentral.us image and File:Exilefemale2.jpg. The CSWE image can qualify as "cyan", but only (reference) as the subtractive primary, whereas most people who hear cyan probably think of the additive secondary because it's seen more commonly. In addition, "cyan" is not a word I've ever heard to describe the color of any other lightsaber.
- Since "cyan" is something we deduced on our own, and "blue" is explicitly stated in a source, I argue that we should list blue and only blue. Given the humongous number of names for colors, there is no reason to ever list our own interpretation of what a color is when we have a official source that defines the color. The source says "blue", which as a general category can cover cyan, therefore explicitly listing cyan as well is original research. —MJ— Training Room 19:23, April 6, 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for the changes, they look great. Would it be possible to update the image to better reflect the image in CSWE? [File:JediExileHanddrawn.JPG] was also proposed on the "first lightsaber" article, as it features the lightsaber prominently but is ambiguously colored. The CSWE is a valuable source, though, so I'd hate to cut it out, but the current image may not represent it accurately. Neither image explicitly states whether or not it represents the first or second lightsaber, for the record, but I think it's fair to assume both are meant to be the second, KOTOR 2 and beyond, lightsaber.
