Star Wars: New Jedi Order
Summary
The next generation of Jedi will be search in the forthcomingStar Wars : New Jedi Ordermovie , whose kyber crystallization may come from a world featured heavily inStar Wars Rebels .

This was also the subject in theStar WarsLegends continuity , though the quartz glass had a specific color before being used by a Jedi or Sith . In both continuity , theGalactic Empire ’s tampering preclude the next generation of Jedi from using the most famous informant of kyber quartz .
The obscureUnknown Regionsworld of Ilum was the chief source of crystals for the prequel - epoch Jedi in both the canon and caption continuities . Tragically , it was targeted by the Empire in both timelines , though its portion was far worse in the forward-looking canon . In legend , the Empire destroyed lifelike lightsaber crystal source , including Ilum , while the fresh canyon had them mine Ilum to such an extent that the planet was irreparably damaged . To make matters worse , the First Ordercontinued the Empire ’s employment , converting Ilum into the Starkiller Base superweapon .

Rey’s New Jedi Order Face A Massive Kyber Crystal Problem
As shown inStar war : The Force Awakens , Ilum was demolish along with Starkiller Base , preventing Luke Skywalker or Rey ’s new generations of Jedi from using its kyber watch crystal . Of naturally , there are other worlds that arrest kyber crystals in the modern canon , such asthe satellite Lothal . As show inRebels , this out Rim satellite furnish Ezra Bridger with at least one such kyber crystal , which he used to power his first lightsaber . Luke Skywalker ’s New Jedi Order obviate the effect entirely by but produce their own lightsaber crystals , as evince in Steve Perry’sShadows of the Empire .
Luke ’s iconic green - bladed lightsaber – and the majority of lightsabers used by the New Jedi Order – use synthetic lightsaber crystals . These gems are synthesized with a combination of Force alchemy and conventional machinery . In the legend continuity , synth - crystals were preferred by Sith and typically only created by Jedi in emergencies , but the lack of natural resource made them the crystals of selection for most of Luke ’s Knights . Synthetic kyber vitreous silica live in the modern canyon as well , butthey are extremely unstable and unsound for use in lightsabers , so viewers should not await them to be adopted by Rey ’s Jedi .
fable - epoch synthetic substance lightsaber crystals could be whatever color their God Almighty choose , though the Sith typically created red crystals with the grim side while Jedi used the Force to craft blue , green , or purple crystals .
