   There are many types of lightsabers in the Star Wars Universe, and unfortunately only a few in real life, and most of them cause instant blindness. That being said, there are still options on the market today for some of the more profound colors, purple, orange, blue, red, green, and a few others. Each color has a different meaning.

The basic colors for the Jedi Order were

   Blue - Which was the color of the Jedi Guardian

   Green - Which was the color of the Jedi Consular

   Yellow - Which was the color of the Jedi Sentinel

Each color represented the skill of the wielder and the mindset that the Jedi possessed. For instance, the great Lord Revan was initially a Jedi Sentinel, and then became a Sith, and eventually back to a Jedi. He used his mind and acrobatics to defeat his enemies.
