No, it's a purple lightsaber because Windu didn't want a blue one, which he already had in EP 1. Ki Adi Mundi had a purple one in EP 1, but then had a blue one.

And I know all about the 'forms'. x.x Rabid Fanboys make me sick. One of the reasons I don't talk about Gundam with anyone.
You made all that up.

Well, except for that Sammy J. specifically asked for a different colored sabre.
Nope, know why? Because in 1999 I got a limited edition Mace Windu action figure in the mail because I thought it would be worth something. He came with a blue lightsaber. My brother got the Ki Adi Mundi figure because it had a purple lightsaber and he wanted Leia to have a purple one.

Speaking of my lil bro, I had a dream last night that his girlfriend died in his car, and wanted me to help him to dispose of it. All while I was looking for the perfect pillow at my grandma's house. Watching 3 episodes of Lost before bedtime might not be a good idea.

So of course she is going to more wise and mature then us...And I'm not saying you're old Berine. LOL!

Thank you!  :)  And I can't use old yet - since I was made in the sixties, e-Bay says I can be labeled "vintage".  :P  

A good time to mention my appreciation for the collective wit & wisdom here; an oasis of escape during many stressful days. Would that I had possessed my laptop & wi-fi yesterday when the flood insurance seminar deteriorated into a partisian political snarling match involving most of the room.   :rolleyes:  Read 3 chapters of the Witching Hour before everyone got simmered down.

I have that same figure and also a reason why all the jedi from Ep1 figures didn't match the color of Lightsabers they had in Ep2.

Mace like most of the other Jedi except Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in ep1 never ignited their sabers so Lucasfilm never assigned them colors. Hasbro believed that Jedi just standing there with a Saber hilt on his belt would be boring and no kids would buy them. So they began to radomly assign colors to sabers that Lucasfilm never gave them guidelines on. So when Ep2 rolled around they acutally did use their sabers Hasbro had to changed all the saber colors (which wasn't too hard since they introduced a new two part saber eariler that year for all Jedi Characters) So Ki-Adi Mundi's went from Purple to Blue, Adi Gallia's turned from Red to Blue and Mace's went from Blue to Purple. It was just Hasbro running with the ball and not based on any info given to them. They proably always had those color sabers we just never saw them in Ep1.

But also, the saber that Mace had in ep1 is different from the one he used in ep2 and 3 so a color change COULD have happened, much like Luke Skywalke'sr from ESB to ROTJ. Which was actually suppose to be blue, but the Green showed up better against the sand in the sail barge sequence so they went with Green.


See....told you I was a bigger SW geek then you both combined. LOL

And how the hell does that have any bearing on anything? And I know all that shit, but the fact is, who cares what happened between Qui Gon Dying and Jango Fett appearing? He woulda had a blue or green lightsaber if Sam Jackson was all Gung ho about it, but sure enough the color is irrelevant. Mace Windu, in my humble opinion, was as useless of a character as Haldir was from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

It was to illustrate he had a blue one. Why Sam Jackson chose purple over any other color is beyond me.

Explanation I was directed to my my resident SW geek:


Quote
The reason for less of a variety of colors for lightsaber blades is revealed throughout several forms of media. The Empire destroyed the caves that housed the lightsaber crystals Jedi used to focus energy and create their blade's unique color. Synthetic crystals were created to replace the natural crystals found in caverns, typically having either a blue or green color. Sith Crystals are also of a synthetic nature, and are said to be more powerful than traditional Jedi crystals, yet make the blade less manueverable. Obi-Wan Kenobi primarily wielded a blue-bladed lightsaber, while Mace Windu famously uses a purple-bladed lightsaber, which can be seen as a consequence of its mastery in borderline-dark-side Form VII of lightsaber combat. One lightsaber in particular, created by the Jedi student Gantoris was violet with patterns of rainbow light rippling across its white core. The color of a lightsaber's blade is dependent upon the crystals used to focus it. Blue-bladed lightsabers are loosely associated with Jedi Guardians; green-bladed lightsabers are loosely associated with Jedi Consulars; yellow-bladed lightsabers are loosely associated with Jedi Sentinels; and red-bladed lightsabers are more closely associated with the Sith. However, each Jedi (or Sith) is free to choose whatever hue for their blade they wish or can aquire.

So Mace gets a purple blade cause he knows some Sith street fighting?

Never underestimate the value of cinematic eye candy to chicks.   ;)


Um, Haldir....not Mace. :blink:

YOU FAIL!!!

If you remember, Luke's (Anakin's) old blue lightsaber fell down the shaft along with Luke's severed hand in ESB. It's not like he used the force to retrieve his hand and lightsaber.

And then, in RotJ, Vader says that Luke made his own lightsaber. So the lightsaber didn't change color, it was a different lightsaber!

But the whole thing about it being easier to see might be true too.
I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Modern anime is a stagnant cesspool of regurgitated ideas.

I know it was because it was easier to see, but did he mean he changed fighting styles and all that? No. It's because Fan's decided to make him change fighting styles. Gay.

Realizing this topic has undoubtedly gotten off the topic of the original question—

I proclaim this board as dead as Anime Voice.

Oh dear--that name did not work at all.  It was supposed to be original gangster, but your board is broken so it didn’t work.  What kind of bupkiss joint are you running here?  I'm telling you this is bogus.  Totally bogus.

The model of the maturity.

But you shouldn't take it as a insult when I say I don't believe you are the 2nd most mature person on this board. Your imaturity is actually a rather endearing quality. It adds a kind of up-beat whimisical turn to an otherwise morbid and jaded view of the world, and really sets you apart from the cliche "I hate the world, I hate myself." types that seem to be so common.

I'm also not saying I believe myself to more mature either. No, I know such a proclamation would be a farce at best, but I can also admit that. Something that many seem to have trouble with. I only think that Bernie outshines us all because she has lived longer and done more and didn't appear to be too sheltered while doing any of it. So of course she is going to more wise and mature then us...And I'm not saying you're old Berine. LOL!

I'd put you in the middle range of maturity on this board with only a handful in front of you...but myself, I'd put me lower with only a few below me. That seems fair and truthful.
I just wanted an excuse to use "Galatic-whore".

And in conclusion, I heard Mace had a purple one because they just needed some color variation, and wanted to set him apart from the other Jedi.  However, they still had to ditch their original hilt design of pimp-gold and leopard fur.

Actually, according to Lucas, Jedi were only supposed to be blue, and Sith were red. Because of Return, Jedi were only Green and Blue.

Lucas hates the Expanded Universe, but it makes him money.
