Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: Is this lightsaber canon?

Fans of the popular Star Wars saga are intrigued by the color features of the lightsaber. In the video trailer, you can see that the sword in the hands of the hero has an orange tint. And as you know, this is not a canonical light for this sword.

In old comics, books, and various video games on this "star" theme, many options for the color of the lightsaber blade appeared, including orange.

But since The Walt Disney Company acquired the famed Star Wars franchise in 2012, virtually all past material has been omitted from the record. So the new owners of Star Wars could bring something new to the Star Wars universe.

So, from that moment on, the colors of the lightsabers were limited to blue and green. The exception was the sword for Mace Windu, for which absolutely any color was allowed. Player comments on the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor trailer has been asking if this is the first canonical appearance of the orange lightsaber. The orange blades are not known to have appeared before, according to modern Star Wars canon. However, there were exceptions.

Orange was the color of Cal Kestis' blade in Jedi: Fallen Order, but according to canon, this lightsaber should be blue. Other non-canonical unlockables in the game included cyan and magenta blades, and indigo blades.

But there is a possibility that the video trailer just misled gamers. And in fact, the sword is the usual yellow color. Note that the lightsaber can be purchased separately for the collector's edition of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. It was announced to the players by the developer of the famous game Wars Jedi: Survivor.

So, Limited Run Games and publishing house Electronic Arts presented gamers with a collector's edition of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the price of which is $ 300.

In the gift set, in addition to the game itself, a steel book, and other bonuses, you will find a delightful lightsaber hilt. What else is included? A steel book with a copy of the video game for Xbox Series X|S or PS5, a certificate of authenticity, a Cal Kestis lightsaber hilt, and various character-themed item sets. In the collection set, there is only a sword hilt. And the lightsaber itself, if necessary, you will have to buy separately for about $ 50.
