The traditional purple color crystal is called Advanced Purple Color Crystal with variations in naming by the crystal's stats. There are lots of options when it comes to purple crystals in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Rather, that color is a badge of pride for the Jedi Path it signifies. In the Old Republic, purple crystals are less common than red crystals, but seem to be the second-most-used type of crystal for Sith.Ī Jedi is not restricted to a single color. This crystal can still be used by a character that isn't light side if it's put in the same lightsaber as another crystal that's restricted to that character's alignment, either Crystal, Qixoni (Dark Side) or your main character's Name Crystal (Dark Side or Neutral). Mace Windu's purple saber is said to be created by a purple Amethyst crystal. The idea of a purple lightsaber was actually created by the actor who played Mace Windu in Attack of the Clones, when he asked if you could wield a purple lightsaber during the final battle of the movie, so his character would be more visible. The most well-known purple lightsaber wielder in the Old Republic era was Darth Revan, and the most well known in newer lore is Mace Windu. In Knights of the Old Republic, characters could find purple lightsaber crytals in the tomb of Tulak Hord, in Tatooine's dune sea, and the remains of a Dark Jedi on Kashyyyk.

These crystals were awarded through the mail for pre-orders and can also be purchased from the Pre-Order Crystal Vendor in Carrick Station and Vaiken Spacedock.Traditionally, in Old Republic lore, Purple (sometime called violet) lightsaber crystals were fairly uncommon, and mostly wield by Sith as an alternative to a red lightsaber crystal.
