The Color Chaning Lightsaber You Missed In Episode II!

During the Battle of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones, Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi is seen wielding both a blue and green lightsaber in different shots. While this was likely a post-production continuity error, Star Wars fans and lorekeepers have embraced the mystery.

The In-Universe Explanation

To explain the discrepancy, it was suggested that Mundi’s lightsaber contained two Kyber crystals—one blue and one green. A switch on the hilt allowed him to toggle between the two colors, giving him flexibility in combat.

A Connection to Cerean Physiology?

Here’s where it gets fascinating: A popular fan theory ties this to Mundi’s unique Cerean biology. As a Cerean, Mundi had two brains and two hearts, allowing for a split cognitive function.

According to this theory, during the Jedi ritual known as The Gathering—where Jedi are guided by the Force to their Kyber crystals—Mundi may have been called to two crystals, one for each part of his mind.

This theory suggests that Mundi would switch between colors depending on which aspect of his brain he was relying on during battle. While purely speculative, it’s an elegant way to tie a production error into a fascinating aspect of Jedi lore.
