EVERY SINGLE Lightsaber Crystal Explained [Canon + Legends]

Lightsaber Crystal’s were deeply connected to the force, allowing the wielder of the blade to become deeply binded to it, almost in a symbiotic way. This connection to the force also allowed for some unique properties. Kyber crystals didn’t just channel and focus energy, they amplified it. This was what allowed them to be used as the heart of a lightsaber, or as weapons of mass destruction, making these crystals highly sought after. However, kyber crystals from Illum were not the only kind of lightsaber crystal. As Luke Skywalker once pointed out, the flexibility and practicality of the lightsaber design meant that pretty much any crystal could be used to focus the beam of raw energy emitted from a lightsaber. However, some Crystals were far more sought after than others, largely due to the unique powers and properties of these rare lightsabers. Some crystals increased the heat of the blade, some granted the wielder additional powers, while others could increase the power of the user a thousand fold.
