Kyber crystals are rare, Force-attuned crystals that power lightsabers. Each crystal type has unique properties and resonates with different aspects of the Force.

​
Lore and Philosophy

​
The Living Crystal

Kyber crystals are not merely objects - they are alive with the Force. They grow in crystal caves across the galaxy and are attuned to the Force in ways that few other materials are.

​
Force Bonding

When a Force-sensitive being finds their kyber crystal, the crystal “calls” to them through the Force. This bond is personal and unique - no two relationships between wielder and crystal are exactly alike.

​
Crystal Meditation

Jedi younglings traditionally journey to crystal caves where they meditate and allow the Force to guide them to their crystal. The crystal they find reflects who they are and who they may become.
Kyber crystals are semi-sentient and can feel pain. The process of bleeding a crystal to create a red Sith blade causes genuine suffering to the crystal, which is why their hum becomes harsh and discordant.
