What Is Cal Kestis Canon Lightsaber Color

What is Cal's canon blade color?

level 2

That's what I was thinking. Since this story makes a big deal of actually going to Ilum, I thought it might be a lil unique. Since Rey is yellow/balanced, I thought Cal might be orange for the unbalanced past that gives him such an inner drive.

Plus, it goes with his hair, and was the preorder bonus. Now, which poncho....

Edit: Also consider the fact that his blade as a Padawan was blue

I'd say blue.

in the cut scences for the crystal its blue and when you're holding it up its starts on blue. His Padawan saber was blue and everytime they show him its blue.

There's no official answer, but my guess is green for a few reasons:

The scene of Cal getting a new crystal is a lot more thematically powerful if it doesn't look exactly the same as his old one, so I don't think it's blue.
Assuming Cal is going to show up in a sequel or some other future property, they probably don't want him to have a crazy color like purple or yellow from the start, as unlocking unique colors is part of the fun of customization. Protagonists tend to have basic colors, at least at the start.
IIRC, green is generally associated with Jedi who focus more on The Force than on lightsaber combat, which I think applies to Cal.
It would nicely mirror Luke Skywalker.
Cere's lightsaber was green, so he would be following in her footsteps.

I went with Cyan as I loved the colour, it reminded me of Lukes OG lightsaber in ANH and Empire.
I also felt it most resembled the colour of the kyber crystal in the cutscene. When I do my GrandMaster playthru I think I'll go with Yellow/Green and stick with standard blue for the rest of the game for realism.

Loved the game and just need to 100% every world, will probably go for the plat with a combination of getting all collectibles and my second playthrough

We don't know.

What I think:

Before Ilum, blue. After Ilum, yellow.

His Padawan lightsaber is blue. So unless someone can give me an example of someone's color changing when they "construct" a second lightsaber we can assume his canon saber is blue.

Ezra, Ahsoka, Luke (he doesn't necessarily count).

I think it's blue, I also just like blue sabers best.

Originally, I chose green (just cause it looks better with him) so hopefully it's green. If not, I chose Cyan after you know what because I thought it looked good too so I'm biased and hope it's one of those two 😂😂😂

Well if I remember correctly it would depend on his role in the order and his connection with the force. Jedi Knights who specifically sought out Sith used blue Sabres Consulars who had deep connections used green. Sith / dark siders corrupted their crystals turning them red. Can't remember the importance of all the other colors. My guess would be blue but I could be wrong

You're kind of meshing legends and canon descriptions. I know how they are decided I'm just wondering what the community thinks his color is.
