How to Unlock the Multicolor Party Blade in Jedi: Survivor
When Cal Kestis wields the Party Blade, the blade color rotates whenever he moves the lightsaber around. How do you unlock the Party Blade? First you need to complete the story line of the entire game. Then return to the main menu and select the new option called “Start New Journey Plus”. New Game Plus mode starts the game at the beginning again. This time, however, you start the game with all of the previously unlocked stances, cosmetics, and perk points.
After you launch New Journey Plus mode, you can change the lightsaber blade to the Party Blade once you reach a workstation. Party Blade shows as one of the blade color options at the bottom of the screen. It’s that easy.
Rainbow Gem Kyber Crystal in Star Wars Legends
In Star Wars Legends, an extremely rare and valuable item called a rainbow gem may serve as a lightsaber crystal, the heart of a lightsaber.
Tenel Ka Djo, a female Hapan Jedi Knight, equips her second lightsaber with rainbow gems from the remains of a tiara. Djo, the Princess of Hapes, is the only Force user to construct her lightsaber using the scarce rainbow gems. Her lightsaber, which is made out of a rancor tooth, emits a turquoise blade. It’s unknown how a rainbow gem may affect the blade color of a lightsaber. In other words, we don’t actually know if a rainbow gem would necessarily produce a rainbow blade.
Notably, a ‘rainbow gem’ is actually not a gem at all, but rather a silicon-based life form originating from Gallinore, a planet in the Hapes Cluster. The gems take a thousand years to mature. Rainbow gems are commonly used in medallions. Tenel Ka Djo’s usage of treasured rainbow gems in her lightsaber makes her lightsaber one of the most expensive lightsabers of her time.
