Why is Mace Windu the only Jedi with a purple lightsaber (spectrum lightsaber)?

~Luminaire~ [/B][/QUOTE]

There you have it...there are still a few more to answer.

Oh..and Windu isn't the only with a purple lightsaber. Jaina Solo's saber was also purple. And the thing that determines the color of the blade is the color of the crystal used in it's construction. At least, that is how it's been in every novel I've seen it explained.

Four out of ten, that is pretty bad, now I will go look for the answers. I dont usually pay much attention to the Jedi Academy series...

Dont the sith use synthetic crystals and the jedi use Coursca gems for their sabers?

I remember reading that Darth Maul meditated for hours outside a fusion furnace. He was using the force to build two perfectly identical crystals that he would need for his special double bladed lightsaber.

P.S.
Does anyone know where I can read the e-book [I]Darth Maul: Sabotur[/I] online? I want to read it but cant find out [B]where[/B] I can read it online........

Well, as I've read any random crystal will work for focusing the beam. But certain ones(such as Corusca crystals) are more saught after than others.

Jaina Solo made her lightsaber from a synthetic crystal, but I've never heard of that as being specifically a Sith or Jedi thing. I think it's all up to the one who is building the saber.

Actually, four perfect crystals. (i'm turning into a Darth Maul expert)

Why, just buy [i]Darth Maul:Shadow Hunter[/i] and you get [i]Darth Maul:Sabotur[/i] included!

[color=deeppink]Which part was correct? Is it just plain "Whistler" and no ID# is known? Or is it really R2-D4 which I completely pulled out of thin air?[/color]

I [i]know[/i] Whistler is correct. And I'm [i]almost certain[/i] that R2-D4 is correct....but I would better to check my books and make absolute sure before I say 'yes'. :)

About the crystals used for lightsaber blades, My AOTC visual dictionary says the sith use synthetic crystals because they are stronger than natural crystals.

Natural crystals are supposed to make the lightsaber blade more manuverable. However it does say that using synthetic crystals is a Sith tradition.

That information may have been lost by the time of Luke's Jedi academy....

Majora, I already bought Shadow Hunter, I think it was right after it came out. I didnt get the other book, [I]Darth Maul: Sabutor[/I] .

Is there any other way I can get it?:(

Also, I like your Avatar Majora.

I thought you might have made that one. I used to use it before I got this one *points at avatar*. What happened to the old one I used to have before all the avatars were lost? Is it out there somewhere, or is it gone for good?

I know this one. The answer is in the AOTC book! I remember how Padme likes to play with them. I am almost sure that R2-D2 didnt like them at all... :naughty:

Anyway there names are: Ryoo and Pooja. Man, those names sound more suited for dogs then people..............

[color=deeppink]I agree! "Pooja" reminds me of "poodoo", the infamous degrading word in Star Wars :p[/color]

Zidane, you were refering to Epsoide II right?

I think that the first three Star Wars movies are classics, the new ones are great, but have lost some of the magic that the older triliogy posseses. I think that Epsoide I was a flop, but epsoide II was much, much better.

Padme is very nice looking... especially in the Geonosis arena fight scene, I am sure Son Goten agrees with me on that one *grin*

I don't know...episode II just doesn't seem to match up to the originals for me...I mean, sure it was cool, but if you watch the originals right before you see Episode II, you'll thinks it's very un-starwars-ish

Sorry I haven't posted the answer! :)
Anyway............... if you put Boba Fett's and Son Goten's answers together you get the correct answer. :p Mace Windu chose to use the purple crystal because it is his favorite color! And, because he was the only Jedi to use lightsaber style seven he could create a lightsaber color for the style!
I feel so smart!

I was going to try and answer Justins "Random quizzy", but I didnt know any more of the answers. I suspect that between Son Goten's, Aries's and my answers all the questions will be answered correctly.

Execpt for one:

5) This is a guess, Telti?

I hope that is right.

Now I have some questions of my own...:devil:

[I]#1 What was the name of Gav and Jori Daragon's ship that they used when they accidentally discovered the ancient Sith empire?

#2 Who was Jedi Master Arca Jeth's padawan?

#3 Which Dark Lord started the Sith tradition of having only two Sith at a time, a master and an apprentice?

#4 On what planet did the Jedi knight Vergere disappear?

#5 What was the name of the spaceship Han Solo grew up on?

#6 What planet do "life crystals" come from?

#7 In orbit around what Imperial prison planet was the Death Star constructed

#8 What was the goal of the Imperial "Dark Trooper" project?

#9 What was the name of Prince Xizor's skyhook?

#10 Who killed Grand Admiral Thrawn?

#11 What did Durga the Hutt try to build in the Hoth asteroid belt?

#12 Where was the strange being called Waru from?

#13 Who was the leader of the Diversity Alliance?[/I]

[B]Bonus[/B] Worth one point each

[I]Name two planets along each of the following interstellar trade routes:

The Rimma Trade Route

The Corellian Trade Spine

The Hydian Way

The Perlemian Trade Route[/I]
