I feel like I’m the only one who likes the “bleeding crystals” thing from the new canon.
I just read the first storyline of the new Darth Vader comic book series, and despite prefering the old EU, I much prefer the new crystals lore. The idea of Jedi bonding with crystals, contrasted with Sith having to force their will onto them is a great idea. It also allows for a lot of inretesting stories as all Sith must “earn” their lightsabers. They’ve basically made lightsabers a part of character development, and that’s quite ingenious in my opinion.
