teeman8r,

Is this a real reply?

In Star Wars canon,
red lightsabers are primarily associated with Sith and dark side users, not Jedi. The red hue typically comes from "bleeding" a kyber crystal, a process where a dark side user corrupts the crystal with their anger or pain. Jedi, who align with the light side, traditionally use blue, green, or other colors like purple or yellow.

However, there are
rare exceptions or ambiguous cases in both canon and Legends (non-canon Expanded Universe):

Canon: No Jedi is explicitly shown using a red lightsaber as their primary weapon. In some instances,
Jedi have temporarily wielded red lightsabers taken from:
defeated enemies.


For example, in the Star Wars Rebels series, Ezra Bridger briefly uses a red lightsaber during a confrontation, but he’s not a full Jedi and doesn’t keep it. Similarly, in The Clone Wars,
Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have used red lightsabers in combat when disarmed or undercover, but these are not their own weapons.
