While appearing on "The Graham Norton Show" in 2013, Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Jedi Mace Windu in the prequel trilogy, revealed that while shooting "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones," he personally requested his lightsaber to be made purple. Why? He wanted to easily find himself during the movie's big battle scene on Geonosis. George Lucas obliged, and while the purple lightsaber was first an aesthetic choice, it's since come to represent a Jedi who uses techniques from both the light side and dark side.
