Star Wars Follies: Don't Eat the Yellow Lightsaber 

But then Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi's lightsaber would've been wrong.

Ya and why would they have had him be the collar person

It’s a joke guys... unless I’m getting joked on

@@shockzilla0364 it’s more like color confusion than blind because you can still see color but you get them confused a lot

FACTS!!!!

Alpha jer Studios my thoughts exactly !

*the

He kept mace windus arm and used his lightsaber for that battle

There’s a little bit Mace Windu left in him.

Yesssss

i can see how they could get the colour wrong for ANH given the slower communications channels, language barriers and doubtless poor references they had to go with, but there could be a tonne of reasons we can't even contemplate or are so obscure it might never occur to us. maybe luke's sabre was blue because that's the colour the prototype was made in. it may have been a conscious decision someone made for aesthetic reasons. george lucas probably didn't give two shits as long as he got his royalties, as he's famous for supposedly never have read any 'expanded universe' ~ otherwise he might have an issue with a giant green rabbit, eh? it could be a simple production error that somehow went unchecked. i like your possibilities, i just wanted to add that there could be a lot more reasons. :) for ANH i can see kenner wanting a diversity of colour, and that may be true, though i'm more prone to think that whoever was in charge of that decision simply had far more evidence to suggest a yellow sabre over a blue one. too, in terms of complementary colours, blue would look a bit out-of-sorts with the white and tan (blue's complementary colour is orange, so ben's figure is a far better match). so, the person/s sitting in a meeting had to make a decision, and that was it. well, it's just a hypothetical theory.... for all i really know, maybe yellow pellets for the injection moulders were on sale. :)

Good logic man keep cool dude.

I think it's also to do with one of the first star wars posters, in which the illustration shows Luke holding a goldish yellow lightsaber aloft.

I myself was always thinking #1 was probably the reason. In the 1990's why Kenner brought back STAR WARS toys, there were some orange toy lightsabers.

@@AniW2x4 - I always thought the saber in the original poster was white

😆

My dad’s only surviving figure was a X-wing Luke and I always thought it was just an average rebel pilot until I watched this video.

I first got into Star Wars when I was 4, And I started collecting half a year later, and when I found out that my dad had most of the Original toys, I asked what happened to them, It turned out that he gave them away to friends that there house burned down and they had no Toys to play with so, He gave away: All his figures, his X wing, his Millenium Falcon, his tie fighter, his AT AT, His Snowspeeder ETC And they didn't take care of them, My dad regrets not waiting until about 20 years later until I was born, cause I'm a Massive Star Wars collector now,

I have my Bobby’s Luke figure but no head

I always thought the change was so that Luke’s new saber popped against the blue sky of Tatooine. Edit: Turns out that’s what Michael said… oh well

I wish Lucas film would have left this scene in the movie watching Luke build a new green light saber was awesome.

Dane Smith This is he correct answer. If you search early trailers, footage and promo shots. The ‘good guy’ lightsabers definitely look white/yellow.

Still doesn't explain the lightsaber colors in Empire or Jedi.

@@tuskawilla Perhaps in Empire, Kenner was more interested in being consistent with his line of toys and not so much in being consistent with the movie. In Return, Kenner may have been wrong about the original trailer in which Luke's lightsaber looks blue.

Everything is correct except they weren’t lazy when the film came out my moms uncle was working at Kenner before passing away in the 80’s said they sent them pictures that were not all great looked white ish yellow so they went with yellow they tryed getting the toys ready for the early bird sets and already had it made and ready for shipping when the movie came out same thing with snagged tooth they had a black and white blurry pic so the cantina got the blue one and is now rare just be glad the vehicles came out so good they only had pictures to go off of this is what I was told by him years ago wish he was still here

​@@mikaelschaefer7720The only flaw in that story is the early bird certificates weren't even offered until the holiday season AFTER Star Wars was released. They were made available during Q4 1977 (SEPT - DEC). So, they were never trying to make the release of the movie.

Juan C Yellow sabers were in Clone Wars since 2008 (which is still canon) and in Jedi Fallen Order (also canon).

Guys, KotOR had it canon since at least 2003.

Luke recently wielded a yellow one in a comic where he faced the slave ghost of the Inquisitor after Empire Strikes back So indeed his Kenner lightsaber has become canon... from a certain point of view

TROS is no longer canon

That’s what I’m saying

BuddyGroove trump

It's Mike Bruh vote Cthulu 2020

BuddyGroove WHY WHY WHy!!!!!!????.?.??.. look we care about the toys we make but we are just way to lazy 🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍔🍔🍔🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍔🍔🍔🍔. 😮🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫💣💣💣

Mr dank Vader 117 are you a Kenner employee?

Mr dank Vader 117 Are you from Kenner in Cincinnati Ohio, Kenner St?

this episode was also my first retroblasting video I watched

I can't remember my first video I watched but it wasn't this one.

This and The last 17 were the first Retroblasting video

Same

Oh maybe that's why he has a yellow light saber but Star Wars came out in 1977 ?

Anderson Reviews 345 I wold say it was more magenta

I could swear in the original version of Star Wars, Luke’s lightsaber was almost white. They definitely made it more blue with all the “upgrades”.

Yea. Lukes saber definitely got more blue as Lucas tinkered with additional subsequent re-releases of the first film. My first viewing of SW was on HBO just after Empire released, and his saber definitely seemed more white than blue. Vader's saber, meanwhile...got more reddish over time (originally it had a faint pinkish hue) Seems like Lucas' legacy of constant fiddling with his finished works caused most of these continuity casualties

Why?

It is heartwarming to be able to have these debates instead of the usual Internet ragebait. And they say fans are toxic. 😂 May be they refer to the toxicity of the trash compactor.😂

Jon Carroll I think it was put on a non lethal setting for that scene, since he was training.

Jon Carroll or maybe Cyan, which is a mixture of green and blue

I'm pretty sure you're looking at the 2004 DVD release, because other releases look correct (blue).

And, he also used that grapnel-launcher, which was issued with the Hoth-gear Luke (mentioned in this video as 'a wierd-looking rifle')

And since the video has been made have you ever had someone come forward with the answer if so you should make a follow-up to this video

Stormtroopers also carried blue lightsabers.

I wondered that too

And a walking stick

Mike Cuntala Amazing story.
