The fire produced by these guns, known as blaster bolts, comes in a variety of different colors. But why? What is the purpose and meaning of each color? For some, the answers are clearly provided in Star Wars canon; for others, we can only speculate. Read on to about each of the seven blaster bolt colors seen in Star Wars.
Many colors in the Star Wars universe have an explanation. Fans are aware of lightsabers, but blaster bolts also have a reason behind them. I have noticed lately that there are different colors used in the bolts for Star Wars blasters.
I am making this post in hopes to clear some things up about this topic (All following information is canon). The reasoning behind the difference in bolt colors all comes down to abundance and price. Red.
In this short video I will explain what every blaster colour means from the common and cheap red colour, to the rare purple. Join the discord: / discord. This is a question I've had for a very very long.
Blaster bolts came in different colors. Red was the most common color, and was made from cheaper gas. This color was used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Rebel Alliance, the Galactic Empire, and the First Order.
Blue was used by the Galactic Republic, and the Resistance. Blaster Colors by Noble Gas The color of a blaster bolt is based on whatever noble gas is used to fill it; after all, they are energized plasma bolts of gas, so the same principles of neon lights apply here. Pure gases are usually used by matter of convenience and because it looks cooler, even though you could realistically get almost any color by combining them.
Why use noble gases instead of. I always took the colors to be an additive used by various factions to better identify their own "tracer" fire with red being the default color for blasters/lasers. Of course why the Empire would bother "coloring" the Death Star's Super Laser is beyond me.
With red blaster bolts probably being the most common and blue being semi-common (especially with Grand Army of the Republic weapons) and green probably being the rarest unless it's a Tie Fighter or E-web. Do blaster bolt colors mean anything? Like is a blue blaster bolt more damaging than red? Blaster bolt colors (theory) Defender Of Yavin #teamtython 12/18/16 Hello guys. Today I have the first theory I've done in a while.
So why do blaster bolts have different colors? Well today, i will sw if I can crack this mystery. Please not that this is all speculation. However some of this is confirmed.
So first of, blue.
