While the Jedi use a number of crystal colors for their lightsabers, what color is preferred by the Sith?
Purple
Blue
Red
The Sith preferred to make their blades of synthetic crystals of a red hue, which they considered a mark of superiority, as opposed to the Jedi’s use of naturally occurring crystals. One of the variations on typical Sith lightsabers was the double-bladed lightsaber. Being of Sith design, these staff-weapons were sometimes referred to as Sith lightsabers, though were not to be confused with the genuine article.
