Hey Everyone - thank you for so many views and for all the feedback!
Yes, I made a few mistakes in this animation:
-The lightsaber color should blue not green (I noticed this 24 hours after I had uploaded it but it was too late!)
-This is really Anakin's Lightsaber not Luke's
-You can get a Lightsaber on the black market - this was mentioned in the Clone Wars
-Lightsabers are mostly used by Jedi (and Sith) but there are a few exceptions
Great video! Love the intro. Felt like watching a how it's made episode...
Two months later and I'm back here without trying.
"Today on How it's Made, we'll be taking a look at an elegant weapon from a more civilized age. Put on your high grade Dura-steel gauntlets and arc-welder mask as we discover what goes into creating ... A Lightsaber - the iconic weapon of a Jedi Knight... or Sith Lord.
Ready? Let's *do it* !"
Jared Owen i
Jared Owen also when building a light saber it does not takes weeks but only minutes as the younglings use the force to construct it whence they have all the parts
Also anyone can use a light saber but only jedi and sith can construct them
The color of the light saber depends on which side of the force is being used and a kyber crystal that has been changed back from the dark then creates a more powerful white light saber
Rune Leicht Lund he meant in star wars people like junkers may pick up a dead jedi s or sites light saber and sell it on there black market not real life black market
"One mistake and the whole thing will explode"
Cuts it in half....
Kleropunt YEET it should still work!
Now you have two lightsabers. combine them and then your Darth maul.
OH MY GOD THIS IS ANIMATION

oof
I love how with a confident tone and professional layout you can make something completely fictional look absolutely possible. You should work in marketing.
😂 Thanks - I'll stick with animations for now!
@@JaredOwen lol
Because it not fictional duhh. Jared saying it was fictional was a joke man. You just didn't get it. If you do not believe in it, I cannot help you. You have to believe to find The Force.
NASA has left the chat
The story happens long long time ago in another galaxy, so technicaly it is historical weapon... :)
Imagine a dude watching this in like 3043 and actually following the steps
u mean u want time travelers
Brave of you to even think we might get past 2100 at this rate.
3043? Ha! My lightsaber is already mostly finished, I'm just waiting on Amazon to finally deliver my kyber crystals. Package tracking shows it arrived on Alderaan but there have been no status updates after that, and all other places are back ordered until 2284.
@@JC130676 I think they ran out of crystals on ilum

Man he’s so good that he can explain something that doesn’t even exist with an extreme precision
no it is now existing there is a person who made a lightsaber it is the world record
@@jackmaxfaxstudio8849 Wow that’s so cool I didn’t even knew ! Thx 👍
@@mkl_7893 yeah
There's a number of cross-sections books that had entries on lightsabers.
It's easy to do when it is in a visual dictionary that came out well over 20 years ago and the uploader is not adding anything new, rather repeating what the visual book says.
"How does a lightsaber work"
"It doesn't"
Was looking for this haha!
my though
Lol
Did u watch the video
I was thinking the same thing
Jared: This is Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber.
Anakin Skywalker: Am i a joke to you?
That was only Luke’s. Anakins was blue, and actually this green one wasn’t shown till return of the Jedi. anakins blue light saber was the first saber shown
@@ItsJessieNotJesse Yes i know
AMT Productions 😂😂 sorry I was thinking you were talking about the green on in the video. My bad 😅😅
@@ItsJessieNotJesse Oh lol
hah
Him: We can’t build this but it’s fun to think about. Hack smith: are you sure about that
I specifically looked for this comment 😂
ye... but that function on kyber crystals
You beat me by 3 months..
Dang it i didnt know somebody else commented on this..
Son of gravel
Jared: "It's impossible to build"
Hacksmith: *hold my anvil*
What a suspiciously light anvil...
they built a light torch not a light "saber" without an energy field it's a torch 😏
The most advanced technology in Star Wars “the high ground”
Lol
But I am the high ground
The high ground is nothing compared to The Senate.
@@dr.boring7022 "I AM THE SENATE"
Hux:it will destroy the Senate Palpatine:I am the Senate you will not destroy me
TexterEX not yet
The Star Wars Dictionary actually explains it as energy being channeled to a primary crystal and then through a series of focussing crystals. The reason that only Jedi and Sith can make them is that building a lightsaber is one of the most difficult (and mandatory) tasks for Jedi and Sith initiates to accomplish as the focussing crystals must be perfectly aligned (which tests true Force sensitivity). Even the slightest misalignment of the focussing crystals will cause the weapon to detonate upon activation. This is why Vadar was so impressed with Luke in ROTJ when he saw his lightsaber ("I see you have constructed a new lightsaber...your skills are now complete...indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has foreseen") - he knew that Luke was indeed ready and capable of defeating the Emperor. Despite what most new Star Wars fans think (thanks To Disney I believe) the color of the lightsaber blade was determined by the color of the crystals used. Traditionally the Jedi used blue and green and the Sith used red. The Dictionary is so old now but it covers the equipment in the original trilogy nicely and it was before Disney screwed everything up. Cool video though and nice animation.
Thank you very much for this peace from the only true bible. I have not read it but your comment gave me the inspiration to do now.
I was of understanding, that the red color comes from the artificially contracted crystals the Sith used?
How did disney screw it all up?
Well kyber Crystal are colour less until it bonds with a force user and the reason that with users have red crystals is because they make the crystal “bleed”. Usually when a Jedi and Crystal bond they act as one, however the sith make it red and instead forcing the Crystal to obey them against their will
@@Aztrani red*
Big Props to the cameraman for using the force to disassemble and reassemble the lightsaber. Very Impressive.
" *This is luke's lightsaber* "
Obi wan in the
movie literally said
" *It's your father's lightsaber* "
It was actually rather ...
" An elegent weapon for a CIVILISED age. "
That was the blue bladed lightsaber he received from Obi Wan. This green bladed lightsaber is the one he made himself.
He lost his pop's LS when his dad kindly hacked off his hand didn't he? Is his dad ever strict!
@@red88alert yeah but thats completely wrong lightsaber they mixed it up
Apex Classic Exactly
"of all the technology you see, perhaps the most fascinating is the lightsaber" Or more like the gigantic spaceships traveling faster than light, speeding up and slowing down in seconds. Or a giant space station capable of destroying planets. But yeah, the laser sticks are awesome too :)
Ha - true, it's all a matter of opinion! thanks mark
The ability to destroy planets is nothing compared to the power of the Force.
There’s always a critic
Lol yeah,but it all depends on ones point of view.
Márk Arató I would still rather have a lightsaber, can conceal a giant space ship on my belt.
"Pay close attention so this doesnt happen to you"
Jared owen predicting how we will be able make and fight with Light Sabers in the future
I have a book all on the lightsabers and I was fascinated by how detailed it was. It even showcased the lightsabers of the characters and who they beloneged to. The first Lightsaber you show us is Obi Wan's very first Lightsaber from "The Phantom Menace".
And I thought this video is published on 1st of April ... 😂
or may 4

hoax
i swear to god me too
O mai ghad
My grandfather gave me a kyber crystal before he died. I watched this video to learn how to make a lightsaber. It works just as well as the legends! I almost cut a service droid in half by accident but it was still a very exciting experience. This video is awesome, thank you!
👌👌👍🔥
I imagine this being in the Star Wars in-universe version of UA-cam and I love it.

That is why you fail
can we get a video of it working? (NO RICK ROLLS)
1:35 damnit even fricken lightsabers need batteries
??? how are thay supossed to work then?? gathering energy from the thin air???

I just made a lightsaber based on this detailed description and it works fine! Thanks, Jared!
Now you know it works ??
good
NOW MAKE ONE
He one who make and you find the crystal
@@christianyves2547 woah really?
Well technically we need enough energy and enough technology knowledge so we can make an actual controlled lightsaber.
How the hell We go to Ilum to get that Crystal?
All I can make you is a protosaber
Only a jedi or other force using person can build a lightsaber. This is because the focusing crystal can't be aligned until the everything is in place so you need the force to manipulate it.
Reminds Me of one time in Physics class when I asked the teacher why the armature in a motor assembly doesn't just fall into thin air and then a guy told Me *"Use The Force."*

I've wondered about this, thanks!
This is perfect. I read the breakdown art books as a kid. This video is just that but in motion. Love it.
As a designer, this is pretty cool and useful for me. Understanding the inner workings of the lightsaber is going to help me design better broken versions for the shelf, thank you.
Anakin's original saber is not GREEN!!!! damnit!

Shouldve said "Do it".
I love Star Wars and making them animated was amazing! It looked so real and you must be a large Star Wars fan. Fantastic video ;)
Thank you! My next video will be Star Wars too
"Its fictional so you cant build it, but is fun to think about it.."
Hacksmith 2 years later: Yeah, about that...
As a life-long Star Wars fan, I must say that this explanation is fascinating and maybe one day, useful 😊. Well done!

I've been working on that for the past 6 years.

dum ideot still working on it, I've managed to make small blades so far but my next prototype should have a much longer blade.
@@lukewilliams8548 I want to see it

thank you for making this video Jared Owen
this guys animations are sick, i’m in love with them 🥰🥰
I'm taking Physics4D to learn all about crystal and archwave energy at my local college. Wish me luck!
Sounds like a fun course to take!
Press f to pay respects
Does that stuff actually exist? Or only in star wars
S0lidSpy24 Are you also taking Quantum physics or Quantum mechanics along with Physics4D in College? If you are then there's a good chance of not a possibly to make a real working lightsaber by using real life components that are similar to what you saw in this tutorial video.

I love how the explanation for lightsabers isn’t ‘magic’, it’s using electrical components and tech to make the beam.
Jared: Only the Jedi can use Lightsabers.

Han in Ep V: "Wait"

Maybe Sith use Sithsaber

I am a huge Star Wars fan I thought you were going to get it wrong but you did it much much better than how I could explain!
@kim a And you are incorrect on misspelling a lot and forgetting to put a semicolon or period after not really.
Well they all started as a fictional and sometimes end up in reality, why not !
(Great job)
Lol, thousands of thanks for that video, I love it
"Completely fictional"
The hacksmith: Hold my beer.
Awesomely simple, and brilliantly smooth. Great work!
Amazing job!!! Long time I haven't found this unique channel
Its good to be back in this video after 2 years
Thanks for the instructions I have ideas
Beautifully done! I gotta share this video!
Isn't the blade of a lightsaber more of a plasma arc than a rod? I thought I heard that somewhere but I can't remember.
Yeah I think that's correct Tom
Omar Tabbara context?
You know I always thought of it this way as well. I think of the lightsaber as a small version of the same technology they use in Star Wars for ray/battlefield shields. If you think about it, this makes perfect sense. We see when they use large battlefield shield generators in Star wars how the plasma shield raises in a thin line of plasma from a shield generator and then creates a dome over the protected area. If you took this same technology and used it on a lightsaber but had the energy turned up so the stream of plasma shot up higher it would raise the celling of the half dome shield (while keeping the same small diameter) it would stretch the shield into a tall rod with a point when the shield bends over the thin plasma line being shot up to produce it. This idea is confirmed by the fact that there is nob on light sabers to increase and decrease the total length of the blade. Also in Star Wars Clone wars they discuss the shield technology and talk about how it can be tuned so slow objects can pass through it or turned all the way up to produce a ray shield that not even slow objects can pass through, i.e. a lightsaber blade. I really thought of this after seeing an episode of Clone Wars where someone was going to be executed using a ray shield like guillotine that would chop off the person's head.
Tom Barnes It’s meant to be accelerated electrons contained in an oppositely charged sort of invisible shell. A bit like how an atom works. Basically we need to modify the large hadron collider and try and fit it in a lightsaber handle. This may take some time....
Tom Barnes did you hear that from "the Nerdist?"
Awesome, really great video Jared.
This is the best video ever for the Jedi-nerd in us all
Next video: *how a wizards wand works*
Oh wait....
You said “ only Jedi can use a lightsaber” But if you actually saw Star Wars, you would know that anyone can use it especially Sith
Collin Staub I think he said that as a reference to Anakin's quote to Qui Gon in episode 1
Collin Staub sith even invented the lightsaber
Da Koynul so your saying that darth maul used to be a Jedi?
Everyone can fire a lightsaber up. The difference is that a Jedi/Sith can actually use it without killing himself/herself in the process. A Force user can foresee the immediate future so he/she can predict where the blade is going/will land. A normal person would likely chop his/her arms off.
Pedro Viana not if you know how to use a sword
Can we take a moment to realize this perfect intro
I'm happy the intro is appreciated, thank you!
Thank you so much for this! Now I can make my own lightsaber! 😃
What controls the length output? Are the colors different power levels? What happens when the streams cross in battle? Why do they feel solid and not pass through each other? Wonderful animation.
I hope I will not need to build a lightsaber in my life. XD
YOU WILL BUILD ONE
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm gonna start building one

No more color crystals. Color is determined by the Kyber crystal's link to the user.

wow BLENDER USER!!! your works are so great!! now I really learn a lot on your videos thank you so much for sharing this knowledge
This is an amazing and informative video about fantasy and fiction. I watched it like a how to and I was about to build one. I’m not really even a Star Wars fan to the level most are.
Jared at 0:59: This is Luke's lightsaber.
Me: This is the first Jared Owen video I watched.
I'm just curious about the microcontroller board controlling the field energizers. Do they still sell those so far into the future? Fun video!
Thank you now i can build it!
I feel I need to take notes. Outstanding content.
Thank you!
"Luke, I am your lightsaber."
"Nooooooeeeeesss!!"
Nice video! My humble contribution is, accordingly to Rogue One (canonical), Kyber Cristals were primarily found in Jedda.
Meneillos I believe Rogue One's crystals were used for the death star and most lightsaber crystals used in lightsabers are found on illum.
In The Clone Wars, it is made very clear that the Jedi get their crystals from Illum.
@@octoson5944 another thing that rogue one got wrong was that the kyber crystals do not actually power the Death Star, they just focus and amplify the super laser.
You should do a Mater/Anti-mater reactor from Star Trek, with a follow up video on the engine nacelles, and warp travel. Perhaps a 3 part series.
Very nice!
Thanks!
Great video. Can you explain "arc wave energy" in simple terms? Do the cycling field generators causevthe crystal energy to flow out in one direction and back in the other direction? What principle, in your opinion, makes the emitted energy stick together in an elongated blade shape instead spreading out like a flashlight?
Where did you get the idea that lightsabers use two crystals? Every iteration of Star Wars I've seen where a Padawan goes into the crystal caves to find their crystal, they only have one. It's not likely they break them in two, so where do they get the second crystal from?
John Sedivec some diagrams of the light saber show a second crystal as a common focusing crystal that helps in stabilizing the blade when ignited. However newer canon retconed the need for a focus crystal.
John Sedivec in some of the games there are two crystals. Probably where that idea came in. However I think in Star Wars Galaxies...which was a pc game from Lucas arts the crystals were said to be that way in the saber you built in there as well.
Some lightsabers have three crystals so that you can adjust a blade length.
Bro 100% got my sub!
You should do a whole series on sci-fi tech! I'd love to see how blasters in star wars work! Or thermal detonators!
Thanks so much¡¡
Great work¡¡¡
