| Jul 15, 2019 at 11:40 | comment | added | anaximander | @Nyakouai I interpreted that to mean that kyber crystals make the Death Star superlaser work rather than literally fueling it. To be fair Disney's lore changes, this one works. Taking the traditional, almost zen practice of constructing a lightsaber - that "elegant weapon for a more civilised age" that is such a symbol of the Jedi - and use the principles behind it to develop a weapon of mass destruction and terror... That's a very Sith move. Plus, a dash of Force mysticism mixed in with the science explains why nobody else built one, which is harder to explain if it's just a very big laser. | |

That they have such power would have made them much more prevalent in the lore if you think about it, what with being able to be used for superweapons and stuff. | |
| Jul 15, 2019 at 8:15 | comment | added | Nyakouai | @Nzall Before, the cristal used to be the focus of the blade, the rest being a lense and a battery. (The main components are described in the "Young Jedis" serie where Luke teach the new generation of Jedis, including Jacen and Jaina Solo). They also mention the Kyber cristals as being excellent and highly sought focus, but it was not power source. First time I heard about a kyber crystal being a power source was in Rogue One, when they say it's the fuel of the Death Star's superlaser... which irks me, as it make less sense than just being ray focus. | |
| Jul 15, 2019 at 8:10 | comment | added | Nzall | @Nyakouai I'm not sure what you mean by "new lore". Lightsaber Crystals have been around for around a decade before the Disney acquisition in the expanded universe (now Legends). I believe they were even referenced in the 1996 Shadows of the Empire novel. | |
