So awesome
umm… britain started the slave trade… just saying, we were the customers. not the dealers
Three letters;
lol
I feel like the Americans (as the Rebellion) should have green lightsabers while the British (the Empire) should have red. Just saying.
Agreed. I wonder if the creator of this piece is English.
Well, the redcoats with red lightsabers would be a bit of fashion fopa.
Not a fashion faux pas?
Sure, whatever. I guess that weird spelling is acceptable…

Well, given the acrimonious relationship between England and France at the time, of course the British wouldn't use the French spelling. That'd just be goesh.

I'm English and I think it should be Americans with green and British with red.
Anyone with the most basic understanding of the War of Independence and the Lucas universe would agree.
This mistake has more to do with the creator being a culturally and historically ignorant clot.
The relationship at the time? Nothing has changed with it to this day.
yea, looks we gotta Benedict Arnold on our hands. Creative though.
Not gauche?
=P
There's less shooting now.
hells yes.
Sir, if you insist on following such a course, I must bid you ado!
If you're going to get that pernickety, red lightsabers aren't explicitly for the Sith, Adi Gallia has a red one in episode one, and she's a Jedi master on the Jedi council.
yeah! I had a red lightsaber in KOTOR, and I was a Jedi!
NERDS!
I LOL'ed. But yeah, the English should totally have red sabers, and the Continental Army, green.
Could it not be that this painting isn't Britain vs. America but Britain Vs. France? that would make more sense to me with regards to lightsabre colours. Then again i'm not familiar with this painting so idk
Yeah, well see, that would be a plausible assumption, were George Washington not riding on horseback in it.
Pansy.
The American Flag in the background is a wee bit of a problem with it being France
If anything, it seems as though there should simply be more diversity of saber color. I think it's fine as it is, though I admit I think that it could be improved by leaving some of the American sabers red, giving some of them blue sabers, and making a few of the American sabers white.
Stop lying to yourself. You're a future Sith lord.

Okay, I gotta chime in here.
1. Adi Galia's lightsabre was pink, not red.
2. According to “Splinter of the minds eye”, Red crystals resonate with the darkside of the force, whereas the blue/green spectrum resonates with the light. So while not technically a sith/jedi thing, You just tend to find more of the blue green on “nice” planets, and more red crystals on places like “Korriban” (Sith Homeworld). Yellow crystals are for people like plo kloon who believe in balance, as it's found in both the green AND the red spectrum.
3. Given the War on Terror, Department of Homeland security, Patriot act, Guantanamo, The colossal failure that was Hurricane Katrina/FEMA, FOX news….Yeah, I'd say that red lightsabres would be appropriate for the American forces, given that we've become the evil Empire. Now all that's (hopefully) changing, but the last 8 years have been a bit…hmm….”dark side” to me.

You sir, are an idiot.
BTW, your spelling was weird.
The origin of the phrase is french, it means “False step”
Hence “Faux pas”

Sarcasm lost on morons…
MY PEOPLE!!!
That would have been an ass kicker!
I think that the Imperial England should have the red lightsabers, while the rebellious Colonists should have green.
However, now that I think of it, the Rebels had red lasers in Star Wars while the Empire had green… or am I mistaken?

Does anyone know if there is a better quality version of this picture? Pls post the link, thanks!
horribly mistaken, sir. empire? use green? lol
On the contrary, the Rebel ships' lasers were red and the empires' were green (referring to the Battle of Endor).
Battle of Endor you say…
IT'S A TRAP!!!
Well, the uniform colors were red for the British, green for the loyalists, and blue for rebels, so if you wanted to follow the historic colors that would be the way to go.

ur a douche bag, go to hell…
so the brits have the green sabers? does that make King George yoda? just wrong.
Now that's kickass!
Mako,
Eat a dick fag sauce. no one cares.
btw nice name if your a shAAAARKuh
what a bunch of pointdexters!!!! Get a life and quit talking about a frickin picture with lightsabers!!!
a red lightsaber simply means the pursuit of the path of personal power, not sith saber.
Also i dont think you should be commenting on wierd spellings mathue. why dont you spell mathew the way its supposed to be spelled you cockmongler
No. What he's saying is that in the interstellar battles between the various ships it that the imperial cruisers and tie fighters all fired green lasers and the Millennium Falcon and all of the X-Wings, A-Wings, and what not all fired red lasers. This contradicts the fact that the sabers seem to flow the other way. One can only wonder if Lucas was getting at someone, or if it just seemed cooler to him. I could be mistaken but I believe even the Death Star, when it fired, emitted a green laser.
Congrats on not using the French spelling of adieu. I give thee many applauses for sticking to what you said.
How it realy happend! <3
