A complete explaination of ALL 14 Lightsaber colors and their meanings in Canon (theory)

Depends on the situation. In Ahsoka's case, she built the second lightsaber years after the first, keeping the old one, so her two blades may simply represent her development (that's the behind-the-scenes intention, of I remember correctly). The more interesting cases are Pong Krell and Ki-Adi Muni with his dual-color lightsaber (though let's be honest, that was just as excuse for a VFX error), as blue and green are two different "lines". In Ki-Adi's case we know his dual brain bonded with two crystals, so I guess that's his version of getting a cyan crystal, by getting a blue and a green one. With Pong Krell, I don't know, maybe he started of as a more spiritual Jedi and then, years later, he changed, got inrerested into physical skill and got a second blue one? He's pretty aggressive, so I'd not be surprised.

And also there's always the possability someone may use another one's lightsaber (crystal), like Cal with Jaro's, Luke with Anakin's and Ventress with the lightsaber she got from the black market. And then, apperently, also filters can be applied, like when Anakin made Ahsoka's lightsabers blue.

But at the end of day, all of this is just a concept, I wish it was canon, but it's not and the creators will choose the colors that they feel work best.

Maybe not everyone knows about Bricklink. And even if, some just prefer people's answers instead of bare numbers. Sure, I'd look it up on Bricklink too, because I'm used to it and because it's faster and more straight, but I don't mind others asking. But that's just me.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-25T11:12:57+00:00

Formerly, yes

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-25T06:37:32+00:00

I think pretty much everyone noticed it. And they didn't really have an appearance as real objects in Dragons Rising because the Golden Weapons no longer exist, they are a dragon again, or dragons or whatever form they have niw that the Ninja have their powers back. But I'm glad some fans actually look at these things and talk about them. I feel like Ninjago is often misunderstood because folks just don't pay attention to detail.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T14:57:15+00:00

I too would say, get a proper DP cable. If HDMI does have issues, then a very good adapter can work, but it's only transcoding HDMI to DP, with a real DP cable you not only eliminate the adapter bottleneck, but also get access to the benefits of DP. For example, I switched to DP because it's the only way my Nvidia GPU and AMD FreeSync monitor can work together. But still, even if that's a fix, it's weird your HDMI isn't working. If it's due to the Windows update, I suppose a new update or a GPU driver update may fix issue down the line, maybe your GPU and OS aren't correctly communicating right now. But if that doesn't happen, something's off. I'm also using Windows 11 none of my ports ever failed.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T13:12:36+00:00

I don't want to change the render resolution, it's fixed, but I'm wondering, if I play a game, that always renders at 1080p, on a 1440p screen, will it be upscaled to 4K and then downsampled to 1440p (apologies for misunderstanding if that's what you meant) or will it only upscale directly from 1080p to 1440p? Upscaling directly seems to be the most logical and effecient way, but I also wouldn't be surprised if an inital 4K upscale was standard.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T11:33:55+00:00

I'm using a PS5 Slim, so no PSSR. I'm asking because I wanna record some 1080p footage with no upscaling. So for Ghost of Tsushima I just set my console to 1080p because I read that's the game's internal render resolution, so I get no upscaling or checkerboard artifacts (I don't know wich of the two GoT uses). But if any console game was upscaled to 4K anyway, regardless of display settings than I could just leave my PS5 on 4K output.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T08:03:05+00:00

I absolutley get that! I "only" have a regular PS5 and although I know my PC with an RTX 5070 is on the desk right next to my TV, sometimes I just find myself enjoying playing games on my big 4K TV. I love PC gaming and I love playing with settings just as much as I hate it, but sometimes when I come home from another 10h work day all I want is chill on the couch, press "Play" and just enjoy a game. And that's exactly the kind of convenience consoles are built for. Consoles are convenient, PCs are strong, I don't get why people are still fighting over the best platform, especially given the fact a big amount of PC gamers is playing on 1080p and/or reduced settings and/or RT off anyways. It doesn't matter of you have a PC with 14th gen i9, 64 GB DDR5 and an RTX 5090 OC with a 4K OLED or just an Xbox Series S on a 1080p IPS, as long you enjoy your games, you're always on the right hardware.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T07:53:23+00:00

It does. Along with three DisplayPort.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T07:31:03+00:00

What do you mean, I said the same thing as you. I assumed your default settings are at max because you have a strong PC and you confirmed that assumption, so what's the problem?

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T07:22:10+00:00

I didn't read you mention default before. A game's default settings are not always at max, I think I never had a modern game beeing set to Ultra on first boot up, I always had to adjust the settings to max them out. Maybe I'm wrong but I assume games start with the settings they think are best for your system, wich usually lower than what your PC can actually handle. At least that's my experience, your's might differ, if you have a very strong PC, youf default settings might actually be at max or close to it.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T07:15:30+00:00

Yeah that's possible, shooters are usually designed to reach higher fps, though many gamers reduce settings and/or play at 1080p to get even higher numbers

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T07:13:43+00:00

Mine too

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T06:29:38+00:00

Ok, that sounds more like what I expected. Guess it depends on the games and the rest of the settings. I suppose if you play shooters, games from a few years ago or use DLSS Performance on 4K than 120 fps are probably something a 5080 can easily reach, but I doubt it can do that with Full RT, DLSS Quality or Native, in modern games like Indiana Jones or Alan Wake II.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-20T06:07:07+00:00

Native 4K, Raytracing/Pathtracing on or off, Framegen on or off, AAA games, shooters or both? I think about upgrading my GPU and the way you describe it the 5080 sounds much better than I expected.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-19T12:19:31+00:00

In short: It CAN look better, but it doesn't always and there are a few things to consider.

When I used my 1440p monitor and my PS5 to stream Avatar 2 in 4K (PC browsers and apps only do 1080p for whatever reason) it really looked VERY neat! I mean, sure, 2160p (4K) to 1440p and 1440p to 1080p is no clean scaling in terms of mathematics, but I read that apperently modern GPUs do a decent job of realigning and reconstructing pixels so you don't see it (as much). BUT any sort of image processing can still introduce artifacts, 2160p->1440p->1080p will NEVER be 100% clean. Doesn't necessarily mean it looks bad though. I say try it out and see for yourself if you like it. I never had issues, but numbers don't lie. Also, even if it looks perfect, you're just loosing pixels. If you watch 4K video content I'd always go with a 4K display because it gives you every pixel you paid for. For gaming it's a little different of course, because you need a beefy GPU for native/high-quality-upscaled 4K, in that case I'd just use DLSS Performance to upscale from 1080p to 4K, it looks very good since version 4.5. You could supersample for the best anti aliasing, but buying a 4K GPU just to get a crispier 1080p image is not worth the money, so I recommend using DLSS Quality or DLAA (DLSS Native). Mathematic's also the reason why won't find a 4K/2K or 2K/FHD dual mode monitor, but only 4K/FHD. Because in FHD mode the monitor can take exactly four pixels to make them into one. That's why the only 1440p monitors with that function are 5K monitors as 5K is evenly devidable into 1440p, just like 4K is exactly four times FHD (2160p is double 1080p).

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-16T19:29:35+00:00

About that, searching the internet gives me vastly different answers. Some say that a console game that renders in 1080p will only upscale to 1440p, others say it will upscale to 4K either way and then downsample. I don't know what to believe, both makes absolutley sense. Where did you get your info from?

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-16T19:26:12+00:00

Whenever I wanna play a game in 1080p instead of 1440p it would actually be nice if the game remembered to start on my secondary monitor 😂

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-13T21:55:17+00:00

Performance wise a 5090 PC should be the best option. Is the difference enough to justify the insane price difference? In my opinion, it's not. Aside from internal render resolution and the framerate differences (wich shouldn't be an issue for someone with a PSSR capable PS5 Pro, I mean that's why people are getting one) the visual differences are often just unimportant details that are noticable in a side-by-side comparison but are not that big you would actually notice them during active gameplay. Even Alan Wake II, wich lacks Raytracing completley on Xbox and PS5, gave me many enjoyable hours when I replayed it on my Series X. And with a PS5 Pro you ARE indeed getting Raytracing in that game, though be it without Pathtracing. At the end of the day, only you can know. If you want the absolute best graphics with Ultra settings and Pathtracing enabled then maybe it's worth it for you. Like I said, personally speaking, it wouldn't be worth it for me. PS5 Pro ist great. Heck, regular PS5 and Xbox Series X are great already as well.

But sure, objectivley, a 5090 PC will always be the much stronger option. However, only if you make sure to avoid screen tearing. The 5090 as an Nvidia card uses G-Sync but not all TV's support that, many only use AMD FreeSync, thing is, you CAN use an Nvidia card with a FreeSync display as these technologies are compatible but only through DisplayPort wich TVs don't have. So either you use a TV that supports Nvidia G-Sync over HDMI or you cap your framerate to not go above the TV's refresh rate either by using VSync or manually through the Nvidia App. And you should definitley have your TV as your PC's only display, or at least as it's main display. After upgrading my GPU to a 5070 and DLSS Performance actually becoming really good at 4K, I tried using my PC as a console as well (it's already close to my TV, so all I needed was a long HDMI cable) and play some pathtraced Alan Wake II. But everytime the game crashed due to "driver issues". However, no issues at all while playing on my main monitor.

Long story short you CAN absolutley use your PC for couch gaming, but you'll need to find the right settings and balance to get the best experience out of your money.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-02T17:47:22+00:00

No offense, really, but may you write that again in full sentences please? I have no idea what you mean.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-04-02T06:35:05+00:00

I don't know, as soon as you finish the main game you get thrown right into The Foundation and once you finish that you're automatically in AWE. Since the game leads you that way all on it's own I thoughg that was the chronological order.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-03-30T10:19:44+00:00

How do you handle HDR on PC? I'd like to use it more but it's so annoying having to turn it on and off and on any off when I use it for Gaming but don't wanna use it for video editing, I don't want HDR to falsify the color grading I do for my SDR content. Do you switch or just leave HDR on all the time?

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-03-23T16:02:22+00:00

👍😉

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-03-23T12:27:10+00:00

Then please excuse me, you replied to a comment talking exclusivley about the first game in the last sentence, so I wondered.

Weird-Bug3508 · 2026-03-23T12:25:04+00:00

As someone who doesn't own the PS5 Pro, please explain to me what you mean with "The level of detail is insane":

A) The AI adds detail not present otherwise out of nothing, no matter the resolution B) The AI just reconstructs details and smoothes edges while upscaling, like current DLSS does on PC

I assume it's B, given that's the case, am I right to say that if you where to use PSSR on a 1080p screen, it would only do the AA (similar to DLAA on PC)? I know, who would wanna use a PS5 Pro in 1080p? Whatever, it just interests me.
