Dooku being a Sith is a good idea, remember Sidious only uses Dooku to start the war and Dooku is but a 'nesserary loss'. Making him a rogue jedi starts bringing up issues like 'grey' jedi etc.

Which means that you will most likely not care for my fanedits of EP2/EP3.

Lightsaber colour is an important decision in Jedi lightsaber construction. Obi Wan chose blue and Qui Gon chose Green. There own personal choice. Remember that Jedi are very similar to Samurai in many respects and the soul of the person and the blade are one and the same, a sword in laser form or not in an extention of themselves. Does that mean Darth Vader in gonna have purple because he is a Lord? course not he is gonna be red, why? Because Anakin turned to evil and slaughtered many, the red blood colour is an extention of his new form.

Ok, now you're trying to explain the symbolism of a lightsaber's color, so why is it so terrible for me or other people to try and do the same?

People are now gonna bring up the issue of why has Mace got a purple lightsaber then?

Samuel L. Jackson asked for it, comics told us why. A bit of EU that i actually like, Mace went out and personally looked for it.

Though i personally hate this rainbow of lightsaber colours that LucasArts etc have given us, the only one i do like for its individuality is Mace's. Does that mean things like Jango gonna be recoloured to Boba costume? No coz boba personalised it. To make most people have blue just seems borin too tbh, sorry about the rant lmao, gets to me sometimes ya know?

Lucas should never have colored a lightsaber differently than the others just because the actor requested it - there is a visual consistency and continuity that already existed with the lightsabers and adding a new color with no explanation behind it is yet another example of Lucas poor craftmanship that went into the development of these film.

 

Ok, I'm done participating in this "saber color" arguement.
Let's move on to another topic of the PT that could be changed.
