Sith like Darth Vader , Maul , Count Dooku , and even the Emperor himself , all manage these deadly red blade . But the secret to creating one is not strictly a Sith one .
Kyber quartz glass , which power and determine the color of lightsabers , can not of course be red inStar Warscanon , think of every red lightsaber must be create by the substance abuser . The way this is done is that the dark side user pours their own hatred , fear , and grim vitality into a normal kyber crystal . This"bleeds " the kyber and turn it red , something that key out dark siders from everyone else . This technique was usually taught by Sith masters to their apprentices , but again , not all who handle crimson lightsabers are Sith .

Kylo Ren Was No Sith - But He Was A Sith Fanboy
Ben Solo Learned The Secrets Of The Sith
It ’s pretty light in the sequel trilogy that Kylo Ren idolize Darth Vader , make him quite the Sith fanboy - and he knows his traditional knowledge . In fact , inStar war : The Rise of Skywalkerhe is the one who figures out theDyad in the Forcebefore even Palpatine . The Dyad is an ancient Force concept venerate by the Sith , so presumably Ben Solo analyse old Sith texts due to his fascination wiith the dark side . This also explains why he knew to " bleed " a kyber watch crystal , as tell in Charles Soule and Will Sliney’sThe Rise of Kylo Renminiseries .
After the deaths of his former fellow students and friends , Ben Solo bled his kyber crystal , stream his fears and anxiousness into it and check it . The remarkable thing , though , is that Ben does this even as he shine to the drab side , lay claim the name Kylo Ren -meaning that Ben had to have show about the construct of run kyber sometime during his breeding with Luke .

Kylo Ren is n’t the first to do this , however , as bleeding a kyber crystallization is not a Sith exclusive proficiency . Those who are associated with the Sith , like theEmpire ’s Inquisitors , and those who are affiliated with the dreary side otherwise , like theKnights of Ren , have also been see with red lightsabers . The inquisitor emphatically bled their own lightsaber crystals , but Ren of the Knights of Ren may not have , as the saber seems to be passed down in that radical . Nonetheless , anyone on the dour side can create a red lightsaber inStar Wars .
