Hello all. This is my first post on the SF forum. I am considering ordering the Redeemer Champion. As a first-timer it is a challenge to choose a blue that would be ROTS accurate.

I would appreciate advice from those of you who know what to choose out of the (wow) 3 blue color choices.

Thanks so much and so GLAD to be here!

Welcome to the Forum!

I am sure you will get varying opinions on which is the closer to screen accurate for the shade of blue. Personally, I tend to lean towards the medium to light blue, but I think it would look fantastic in dark/royal, or even arctic. The colors are just that great!

You might want to drop by the new members thread and introduce yourself, then browse the forum rules, and FAQ. There is a lot of good information in both of those threads that answers a lot of questions you might have, and some you might not even know you had. For anything else, just go to the subject appropriate section, and start a conversation!
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

If you're going for the ROTS color, I've heard both Deep Blue and Medium Blue. Light or Arctic Blue would be best for the Original Trilogy blues.

Oh, and can I get one of For Tyeth's Beat By Brax bumper stickers?

I own Deep blue and it's the closest you can get to ROTS. It's a fantastic color for the redeemer.



Light and Artic blue is the best you can get if you're going for that ANH look

I have an unfair advantage with the new security procedures. With any new member all of their posts up to 10 have to be approved, so For Tyeth won't even see them until they are so approved. However, I would encourage him to keep riding the "Greeting New Members" bandwagon, because I think he does it better than I do.

Note that Deep Blue has a purple hue in it. Personally I don't see any hints of purple in the movies. But Deep Blue is a beautiful color nonetheless.

Good to know Execute 66. Do you know if an actual red or purple LED is added for Deep Blue?

Thanks!

Yeah, no red LEDs. I don't think they even have a purple LED, just mixed red and Royal Blue.

It might show purple on your browser but it looks really blue in person. I really can't see any purple coming out of it.

And in RotS, the blue was noticeably darker. Especially during the duel against Dooku and Grevious.

The main reason for the darker blue in ROTS was to help the blades retain their color better against the red environment of Mustafar. The decision for Luke's ROTJ saber to have a green blade was made for a similar due to the opening scenes on Tattoine.
But yeah, deep blue is the best option for a ROTS saber.
