Definitely had a purple saber.ray_afraid said:
And here's a question for those in the know: Didn't Mara Jade have a purple blade? I've always had that in my mind, long before Sam Jack had his, but since Ep. II, everyone talks like Sams was the first and only purple blade in the galaxy. I didn't read the comics and really can't remember seeing any art related to the character so maybe I just made that up while reading the novels long ago.
Retconned away, I'm sure.
