Equipment
See also: LightsaberWithin the Star Wars universe, the Jedi are usually portrayed as dressed in simple robes and carrying specialized field gear for their missions. The most notable instrument wielded by a Jedi is the lightsaber.
Both the Jedi and the Sith use lightsabers. The Jedi wield blue, green, and purple lightsabers in the films, while the Sith tend to wield red ones.
Lightsabers can be many different colors depending on the crystal fixture. Although a Jedi class is usually defined by the color of the lightsaber, a Jedi can choose to make his/her lightsaber any color they see fit. Most jedi use naturally-formed crystals, whereas Sith tend to use synthetic crystals which are usually red in colour. In Revenge of the Sith, when Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side, he is seen wielding his blue lightsaber as Darth Vader.
