The Light Side in Star Wars represents the path of selflessness,
compassion, and altruism. It is the force that promotes peace and justice
in the galaxy. Jedi, who are the primary representatives of the Light
Side, use the Force to help others, protect the weak, and maintain peace.
They believe in the power of diplomacy and negotiation and always try to
avoid violence. The Light Side is also associated with wisdom, knowledge,
morality, and ethical behavior as Jedi are constantly seeking to learn and
grow in their understanding of the universe, they are also expected to
adhere to a strict code of conduct that emphasizes honesty, integrity, and
respect for all life. The Light Side is not without its challenges,
however, as its followers must constantly fight against the temptations of
the Dark Side, which seeks to corrupt and destroy. Despite these
challenges, those who follow the Light Side are guided moral compass and a
commitment to doing what is right, even in the face of adversity.
Dark Side
The Dark Side is a powerful and malevolent force within the Star Wars
universe. Those who are drawn to the Dark Side are often motivated by
fear, anger, and a desire for power. They are willing to use any means
necessary to achieve their goals, even if it means embracing the
destructive and violent aspects of the Force. This side is often
associated with the Sith, an ancient order of dark warriors who seek to
dominate the galaxy. Sith Lords are masters of the Dark Side, able to use
it to manipulate and control others, create illusions, and even unleash
devastating attacks. Sith Lords, such as Darth Vader and Emperor
Palpatine, are known for their ruthless tactics, including the use of mind
control, torture, and genocide, to achieve their goals.The Dark Side also
corrupts those who use it, twisting their emotions, turning them into
ruthless beings, as well as changing their physical appearances such as
yellow eyes, paler skin tone, and veins becoming more visible. Some of the
most iconic villains in Star Wars, such as Darth Vader and Emperor
Palpatine, were seduced by the Dark Side and became powerful agents of
evil. The Dark Side is a constant threat to the galaxy, tempting those who
seek power and corrupting those who give in to its allure. It is a
reminder that even the most noble and virtuous individuals can be led
astray by fear and anger and that the struggle between good and evil is a
never-ending battle.

*Note: These are not all the lightsaber colors in the Star Wars
Universe.*
In Star Wars, the color of a lightsaber blade is determined by the type
of crystal used to construct it. Jedi typically use blue or green
crystals, while Sith prefer red. However, there are other colors that
have been seen in canon, such as purple (used by Mace Windu) and white
(used by Ahsoka Tano). In some cases, the color of a lightsaber can
reflect the personality or beliefs of the wielder, but is not always the
case. It's important to note that these color meanings are not set in
stone and can vary depending on the individual and their beliefs and
experiences.
Yellow: Used by Jedi Temple Guards, yellow
lightsabers represent a strong devotion to the Jedi Order and its
principles.
Purple: Used by Jedi who have a balance between
the light and dark sides the Force, purple lightsabers are rare and
represent a unique connection to the Force. For example, Mace Windu, a
Jedi Master, wielded a purple lightsaber because of his unique fighting
style and his ability to tap into the dark side of the Force without
being consumed by it.
Red: Typically used by Sith, red lightsabers
represent the user's willingness to embrace the dark side of the Force
and their aggression in combat.
Blue: Typically used by Jedi Guardians, blue
lightsabers represent skill in combat and a strong connection to the
Force.
Green: Often used by Jedi Consulars, green
lightsabers symbolize a focus on diplomacy, negotiation and a deep
understanding of the Force.
White: Used by Jedi who have purified red kyber
crystals (usually taken from defeated Sith), white lightsabers also
reflect the user's commitment to redemption and their rejection of the
dark side.
Black: also known as the Darksaber, are a unique
type of lightsaber that was created by the first Mandalorian Jedi and
passed down through generations of Mandalorian warriors and considered a
symbol of leadership among Mandalorian warriors.
