'Star Wars: Rogue One': Felicity Jones Wants A Pink Lightsaber

Felicty Jones, a cast member of “Star Wars: Rogue One,” wants a pink lightsaber for her character in the movie. Here is a look at the different lightsaber colours in the movie franchise and what they mean.

Felicity Jones is perhaps the only actress who has been confirmed to be a cast member in “Star Wars: Rogue One.” She spoke to MTV about what it was like to play a role in the upcoming movie. This video of her was posted on the official YouTube channel of MTV.

When asked about what it was like to play a female lead in the upcoming movie, the actress found it difficult to find words to express her excitement. “It’s so exciting... it’s so exciting... I just... yeah, i’m just really really looking forward to umm... just starting to, yeah... get umm... start thinking about it and get stuck into it... but yeah, it’s amazing amazing thing to be a part,” the actress said in the video.

Talking about the possible colour of her lightsaber in “Star Wars: Rogue One,” Felicity Jones said that she would prefer a pink lightsaber. It has not been confirmed that the actress will be wielding a lightsaber in the movie and very few details about the movie are available at this time.

Traditionally, there have been three colours of the beams of lightsabers in “Star Wars” movies. The blue- and green-coloured beams are used by the Jedi, who are the guardians and protectors in the galaxy, and the red beam is used by the Sith, who seek to gain power and rule the galaxy. Samuel L. Jackson, who played the role of Mace Windu in the prequel trilogy, was an exception when he was given a purple lightsaber.

The colour of the beam in the lightsaber depends on the crystal that is used by the person who builds the weapon. The games from the franchise feature crystals of varied colours that include yellow, purple, black and gold/orange. The MMO game “Star Wars: The Old Republic” also allows the players to collect a pink crystal for their lightsabers and blasters.

“Star Wars: Rogue One” is slated to be released on Dec. 16, 2016 in Australia, UK, New Zealand and the U.S. Fans of the franchise are eagerly waiting to find out more about the movie.
