Ten years in the past, Han Solo actor Harrison Ford revealed the colour lightsaber he’d most prefer to have. That stated, we nonetheless have not seen the colour in live-action, regardless of all the varied Star Wars motion pictures and exhibits which were launched since 2015.
Whereas selling The Power Awakens again in 2015, Harrison Ford was requested what coloration lightsaber he’d want in an interview with Collider (video under with lightsaber feedback starting at about 2:10):
Whether or not it was merely a joke or a real curiosity in having a pink-bladed lightsaber, it is value mentioning that we nonetheless have not seen a pink saber in live-action. Nonetheless, pink lightsabers do exist in Star Wars, each within the established canon and in non-canonical initiatives generally known as Legends.
Harrison Ford’s Pink Lightsaber Hasn’t But Debuted In Stay-Motion (However They Do Exist)
In Legends, probably the most notable wielder of a pink lightsaber was Mara Jade, the previous murderer of Emperor Palpatine, turned spouse of Luke Skywalker within the Expanded Universe. Technically, Mara Jade’s lightsaber coloration was magenta, which is extra of a pink-purple hue. Nonetheless, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber blades have been additionally pink in Marvel’s very first Star Wars comics.
Within the established Star Wars canon, pink lightsabers have been proven sporadically, although by no means in live-action. Firstly, pink lightsabers have been proven within the Disney Junior collection Younger Jedi Adventures, and pink can also be a coloration possibility for Cal Kestis’ lightsaber in EA’s Star Wars video games Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor.
Likewise, the upcoming Star Wars Visions Vol. 3, which is releasing quickly on Disney+, will see the debut of a personality named Shad-Rah, a brand new Jedi who can even be wielding a pink lightsaber. Nonetheless, all of the animated Visions tales have to this point all the time been deemed non-canonical and never a part of the official Star Wars timeline.
It is About Time Star Wars Debuts Some New Lightsaber Colours
Whereas pink has not but obtained its due on the live-action display screen, it is value noting that different new colours have emerged since 2019.
The black-bladed Darksaber grew to become much more distinguished within the Star Wars timeline due to exhibits like Star Wars Rebels and The Mandalorian, whereas 2023’s Ahsoka debuted the Darkish Jedi Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. Each Star Wars villains have been proven wielding lightsabers with blood-orange blades, which does really feel like a step in the suitable course.
Optimistically, future live-action Star Wars initiatives will debut a larger number of lightsaber colours that hopefully contains pink (as a result of why would not we need to make Harrison Ford completely happy?).
