That “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” is well known. But the function of color not in the saga and it is a very significant element. Whites, reds, blues and oranges hide important connotations.

The professor of Digital Design at u-Tad, Jaime Repolles, he knows them well. The first scene, marked by black and white, is the “achromatic absolute value”.

“The hallway of the Leia’s shipa very narrow visible spectrum and in which the great shadow appears, the presence of Vader”, he recalls. White predominates in this first scene until the great villain of the last century of cinemaone of the most beloved characters.

And that’s thanks to the color: “Darth Vader He is one of the most charismatic characters in recent years for whom people have felt an attraction that did not initially correspond to an ethical code”.

Beyond blacks and whites, there are also blues and reds. Jedi blue is cool and calm. Red is warm and passionate, like a lifelong Sith. Why then are there green jedi? “The center between the reds and the blues is green. That is why Yoda, light and knowledge, is always situated in that direction,” the expert resolves.

Color theory aside, Luke had to wield a green saber for technical reasons. The blue on the outside was not visible and ended up being green to make it stand out. But between the mundane and the mythical, the latter always triumphs because otherwise the Force would never have been with us.
